How this service works
Penny Data: pay-per-call data for AI agents. UK company, LEI, postcode, carbon intensity, FX reference rate and food hygiene data as JSON, paid per call in USDC on Base with x402. No API key or account.
Output
A JSON object containing the full LEI record: legal name, entity status (e.g. ACTIVE), category, jurisdiction, registered incorporation number, legal form code, legal and headquarters addresses, BIC codes, direct parent LEI and name, ultimate parent LEI and name, and registration metadata including status, initial registration date, last update date, next renewal date, and corroboration level.
Example use cases
KYC counterparty verification
“We're onboarding a new counterparty who gave us LEI 2138005O9XJIJN4JPN90 — can you pull the full LEI record and confirm the legal name, registration status, and jurisdiction?”
Mapping corporate ownership chain
“I need to know the direct and ultimate parent entities for the firm with LEI RR3QWICWWIPCS8A4S074 — can you fetch the LEI record and show me the ownership structure?”
Validating LEI before trade reporting
“Before we submit this trade report, can you verify that LEI 549300TRUWO2CD2G5692 is currently active and fully corroborated in the GLEIF registry?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://pennydatahq.com/api/lei/%7Blei%7D?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable LEI data without signing up for an API key or account — ideal for agent workflows doing one-off or low-volume LEI lookups paid per call in USDC via x402. Prefer this over the GLEIF API directly when you want zero-friction access with micropayment billing and JSON output ready for downstream processing.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed LEI string returns an error response
- LEI not found in GLEIF index returns a 404 or empty result
- Payment not processed (x402 flow incomplete) results in 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout or upstream GLEIF API unavailability causes a 5xx error
- Lapsed or retired LEI may return record with status LAPSED or RETIRED rather than ACTIVE
