## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Can you look up the GLEIF LEI record for 'Deutsche Bank AG' in Germany and tell me its LEI code, current status, and registered legal address?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured legal entity data from the GLEIF global registry — particularly for KYC, AML counterparty checks, entity matching, or any compliance workflow requiring official LEI status and legal address. It is the canonical global source for LEI data under CC0 license, making it suitable for commercial use without attribution. Prefer it over company name searches in national registries when the LEI code is known, or when cross-border entity identification is required.

## Known failure modes

- LEI code not found — returns empty result or 404-style error if the code does not exist in GLEIF
- Name search returns no matches if the name is too abbreviated or misspelled
- Ambiguous name search returns many unrelated entities — use country filter to narrow results
- Invalid LEI format (not 18 alphanumeric + 2 digit checksum) rejected by schema validation
- GLEIF data latency — recently registered or updated entities may not reflect instantly
