Global Company Registry, GLEIF LEI, UK & EU Business Enricher

Enrich global companies via GLEIF LEI (2.6M+ entities), UK Companies House, and EU/France Sirene with registration IDs, status, SIC/NACE, addresses, and directors.

What it does

Verifies and enriches global legal entities across the official GLEIF LEI registry (2.6M+ worldwide entities), UK Companies House, and the EU/France Official Enterprise Registry (INSEE Sirene & RNE) with company registration numbers, LEI/BIC codes, legal status, incorporation dates, SIC/NAF industry codes, registered/HQ addresses, corporate officers/directors, and disclosed financials. Export clean, deduplicated data as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS, or connect directly via the Apify REST API, Python/JavaScript SDKs, CLI, MCP Server, Clay, n8n, Make, or Zapier — with no login, cookies, or browser overhead.

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("informed_almandine_vzb/uk-eu-company-registry-lei-enricher").call(run_input={"queries": ["Barclays", "HSBC", "Siemens", "TotalEnergies", "AstraZeneca", "DeepMind", "Revolut", "Mistral AI", "Airbus", "Unilever"], "sources": ["gleif_global", "uk_companies_house", "fr_sirene"], "jurisdictionFilter": "", "activeOnly": false, "includeOfficers": true, "onlyNew": false, "maxResultsPerQuery": 8})

Pricing (Pay-Per-Result)

This Actor uses transparent Pay-Per-Event pricing with a $0.00 actor-start fee:

Event	What is charged	Price
company-result	Company & LEI KYB record scraped (One normalized corporate registry & LEI KYB record from GLEIF, UK Companies House, or EU/France Sirene)	$0.0025 / result ($2.50 / 1,000 results)
apify-actor-start	Actor start fee	$0.00

Concrete pricing math

• company-result (Company & LEI KYB record scraped): 1,000 results = $2.50 (50 results = $0.12, 10,000 results = $25.00). Apify's $5.00/month Free Tier covers up to 2,000 results/month at $0.00 out-of-pocket.
• Empty runs (0 results) & skipped duplicates (onlyNew / onlyChanged): $0.00.

Data and compliance

100% official public corporate registry data: GLEIF LEI data is published under the CC0 public domain waiver; UK Companies House data is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (robots.txt Allow: /); French INSEE Sirene / RNE data is published under Etalab Open Licence 2.0. Requests are rate-limited and routed through Apify Proxy. Per-input errors are recorded in the run's ERRORS key-value record and are never charged.

FAQ

Do I need an account, login, or API key?
No. This Actor queries public endpoints directly and requires zero credentials.

What happens if I start a run with empty {} input via API or CLI?
Every input defines identical prefill and default values in .actor/input_schema.json, so an empty {} run automatically returns 50+ live records out of the box.

How does incremental deduplication (onlyNew) work?
When onlyNew: true is enabled, the Actor stores seen record IDs in a named Apify Key-Value Store (uk-eu-company-registry-lei-state) and emits only newly discovered records on subsequent scheduled runs.

Can I export to CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, Clay, or n8n?
Yes. Every dataset item uses flat, normalized top-level keys (sourceRegistry, companyName, companyNumber, leiCode, jurisdiction, entityStatus, etc.) for one-click CSV/Excel download or native webhook delivery.
