GLEIF LEI Company Scraper — Keyless KYB & Firmographic Data, Pay Per Result

📊 Example output (real run)

A real record from a live run — clean structured data, exported as CSV / JSON / Excel or via API.

Pull verified company firmographics from the official GLEIF registry — the global source of truth for Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs). Every entity that trades securities, takes institutional funding, or transacts across borders carries an LEI, so this is a clean, authoritative feed for KYB, AML/KYC, RegTech, and fintech B2B enrichment.

Keyless. No signup. No sales call. Pay per result. Filter by jurisdiction, entity status, or company name and get registry-grade firmographic records straight from the GLEIF API — no login, no gated pages, no monthly seat commitment.

Where this fits: use it as the cheap, high-volume pre-screen / triage tier that runs before an expensive full KYB pull (Middesk, Signzy, Cobalt). It resolves a counterparty to a stable LEI and confirms legal name + active status so you only pay for a deep verification on the entities that matter. It is not a US Secretary-of-State / UBO / TIN-match replacement — it is the authoritative entity-resolution layer those workflows start from.

• Data enrichment — append LEI, legal form, and HQ location to your existing company records.

Why this over the incumbents

	This actor	Middesk / Signzy / Cobalt
Access	Keyless, no signup	Account + integration + (often) sales call
Pricing	Pay per result, no minimum	Volume contract / per-check quote
Agent-native	Yes — callable from AI agents	No
Source	Official GLEIF registry (authoritative)	Mixed proprietary sources

Why registry data beats scraped web data

GLEIF is a regulator-backed, self-reported registry — the same identifier banks and exchanges use. Records are structured, deduplicated, and renewal-dated, so you know exactly how fresh each entity is (last_update_date, next_renewal_date).

Output formats

Export to CSV, JSON, or Excel, or stream results through the Apify API into your compliance pipeline, CRM, or data warehouse. Agent-native and callable over MCP + x402 through the GoCreative gateway.

Tips

• Set entityStatus=ACTIVE (default) to drop lapsed entities from outreach or onboarding lists.
• Combine jurisdiction + nameQuery to resolve a specific company to its canonical LEI record.
• Pair with the GoCreative Keyless KYB Dossier API (LEI + live OFAC screen + CFPB complaints + federal-contractor signal fused into one 0-100 risk score) for a full agent-native pre-screen.
