LEI Renewal & Registration Brief — GLEIF

Unofficial — independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by GLEIF. It reads only publicly visible pages. Support, reliability guarantees and the full disclaimer are at the bottom of this page.

Check exact Legal Entity Identifiers against GLEIF and receive registration status, renewal dates and source freshness. Useful for treasury and counterparty onboarding workflows asking “Which of my known corporate LEIs need renewal attention?” These are registration facts and Actor-calculated date categories, not creditworthiness, sanctions, AML or legal-compliance verdicts.

Input

leis is required: 1–10 uppercase 20-character LEIs passing ISO 17442 / MOD 97-10 checksum validation. Duplicates are removed in input order. renewalWarningDays is an integer 1–180, default 30. maxItems is an integer 1–10, default 5, and must be at least the number of distinct requested LEIs. Invalid input, inadequate maxItems or insufficient event budget fails before source requests. The exact requested set is never silently truncated.

Example: {"leis":["5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12"],"renewalWarningDays":30,"maxItems":1}.

Output

One gleif_lei_renewal_brief row per distinct LEI in input order. All source responses validate before any dataset writes or charges. A missing or malformed record fails the run, with no partial source result. Dataset write failures may still leave already delivered rows.

lei, legalName, jurisdiction, entityStatus and registrationStatus describe the registered entity. Source status tokens are preserved. lastUpdateDate, optional nextRenewalDate, and goldenCopyPublishedAt are source UTC timestamps. daysUntilRenewal is an optional integer UTC calendar-date difference. When source renewal is explicitly null, renewalDateAvailable is false and nextRenewalDate / daysUntilRenewal are omitted. Otherwise renewalDateAvailable is true. sourceAgeHours is the Actor-calculated age of the golden copy. sourceUrl and fetchedAt provide provenance.

renewalWindow and reason are Actor-calculated: source LAPSED takes precedence as lapsed; any registration status other than ISSUED or an unknown entity status or missing renewal date gives unknown; a past renewal date gives overdue; today through renewalWarningDays gives due-soon; later dates give later. An overdue ISSUED record is not claimed to be legally invalid. Unknown future status tokens are preserved but not interpreted. No row means no successful result.

Limits

Lightweight HTTPS only, fixed api.gleif.org host and exact record endpoint, at most 10 requests, one-second interval, 1 MiB response cap, 30-second request timeout, 180-second run cap and 256 MB memory. No retries, browser, proxy, paid API, relationship traversal or pagination. 403 and 429 stop immediately. Failure kinds: invalid-input, not-found, auth-block, rate-limit, timeout, structure-change and upstream-error. Source freshness is measured; data is not guaranteed current.

Privacy

Output uses an explicit field allowlist. Addresses, contact persons, phone numbers, email, ownership relationships, BIC data and raw response bodies are not stored. Only source categories GENERAL, FUND and BRANCH are supported; sole proprietors and unknown categories fail closed before output. Only registered legal entity name, jurisdiction and lifecycle metadata are retained. Never provide personal contact data as input.

Data source and terms

GLEIF LEI API provides public LEI data under GLEIF LEI Data Terms of Use, including CC0 for the data access service. API robots.txt permits this path. This Actor is independent of GLEIF and makes no source warranty.

Pricing

$0.01 per delivered exact-LEI brief through the primary lei-brief-created event, with no actor-start or secondary event. Every delivered row uses exactly one charged dataset event. Source failures before delivery and empty runs have no event charge. Already delivered rows remain billable if a later dataset write fails.

If something goes wrong

• Wrong number or a failed run? Open a ticket on the Issues tab. I read every one and reply within 2 business days (Japan time).
• You never get a fake "empty" result. If the site can't be read, the run fails and says so. One validated and delivered LEI brief is one billable event. Source failures before delivery and empty runs have no event charge; already delivered rows remain billable if a later dataset write fails.
• Checked every week. An automatic test runs this tool weekly; if the site changes, I fix it.
• Public pages only. No login, no personal data, and it goes easy on the site.
