# LION Verified Company — LEI Lookup (GLEIF)

> LION Verified Company — LEI Lookup (GLEIF) is a paid API for AI agents from lionx402.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability lion-verified-company-lei-lookup-gleif-62be3430
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the LEI record for Stripe — try searching by the domain stripe.com — and tell me their LEI code, registration status, and which jurisdiction they're registered in?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, globally standardized legal entity identification data directly from the GLEIF Golden Copy index — especially for KYC/KYB, trade compliance, counterparty verification, or regulatory reporting workflows. Prefer over general company enrichment endpoints when the primary need is the LEI code itself, registration status, or LOU attribution. Works without any API key via x402 micropayment.

## Known failure modes

- No match found for the provided name, domain, or LEI — returns empty result set
- Invalid LEI format (must be 20 characters) — returns validation error
- Ambiguous name query returns multiple candidates — caller must refine search
- GLEIF upstream unavailable — service may return 503 or timeout
- Payment not completed via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required before data is served
