# Look up a company's LEI record in GLEIF

**Use case:** 

Looks up one LEI code and one company name in the official GLEIF database and returns the legal name, addresses, jurisdiction, legal form, entity and registration status, renewal date and BIC codes. No key needed. Swap in your own LEI codes or entity names, and turn on parents to add direct and ultimate parents.

## Input

```json
{
  "leis": [
    "5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12"

    "Siemens Aktiengesellschaft"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [LEI Lookup: legal entity data from GLEIF](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/lei-lookup.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/lei-lookup.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/examsens.ai/lei-lookup.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
