LEI Lookup & GLEIF API: Batch LEI, Name, BIC & ISIN Search
Pricing
from $1.20 / 1,000 lei records
LEI lookup on the public GLEIF API: batch-check Legal Entity Identifiers and find LEIs by company name, BIC, ISIN or registration number, with parents and subsidiaries. Every input gets a clear status row. From $0.002 per record found. GLEIF data is CC0; not endorsed by GLEIF.
You can access the LEI Lookup & GLEIF API: Batch LEI, Name, BIC & ISIN Search programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
