## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🏛️ GLEIF New Legal Entity Monitor · Newly Registered LEIs Worldwide

Monitor **newly registered Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs)** from the official **GLEIF** API. For KYC, AML, counterparty monitoring, entity intelligence, B2B research, and lead-gen.

> **What this is — and isn't.** This is **not** a complete global company-formation feed. It tracks entities that have just obtained an **LEI** (which skews toward financial counterparties, funds, and regulated/larger entities) — a meaningful global subset, not every incorporation.

### ⚡ What you get
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `lei` | 20-char Legal Entity Identifier |
| `legalName` | Registered legal name |
| `country` / `jurisdiction` | Legal-address country + jurisdiction |
| `legalForm` | ELF legal-form code |
| `entityStatus` / `registrationStatus` | ACTIVE/INACTIVE · ISSUED/LAPSED/… |
| `initialRegistrationDate` / `lastUpdateDate` | LEI lifecycle dates |
| `managingLOU` | LEI-issuing organization |
| `registrationAuthority` / `registrationAuthorityEntityId` | Home registry + entity ID there |
| `sourceUrl` / `retrievedAt` | Citation + fetch timestamp |

### 🎯 Use cases
1. KYC / AML — screen and monitor newly-registered counterparties
2. Entity intelligence — track new legal entities by country/form
3. B2B research & lead-gen — fresh entity signals for outreach
4. Compliance — evidence ongoing new-entity monitoring

### 🚀 Sample inputs
```json
{ "dateFrom": "2026-06-01", "dateTo": "2026-06-04", "country": "US", "maxResults": 100 }
````

```json
{ "country": "GB", "registrationStatus": "ISSUED", "entityStatus": "ACTIVE" }
```

```json
{ "maxResults": 50 }
```

(With no dates, it returns the last 7 days.)

### 📦 Sample output

```json
{ "lei": "9845004842C88BE9BF27", "legalName": "Devall Holdings LLC", "country": "US", "jurisdiction": "US-WY",
   "legalForm": "NB58", "entityStatus": "ACTIVE", "registrationStatus": "ISSUED",
   "initialRegistrationDate": "2026-06-04T09:36:18Z", "managingLOU": "529900T8BM49AURSDO55",
   "registrationAuthority": "RA000644", "registrationAuthorityEntityId": "2026-001987415",
   "sourceUrl": "https://search.gleif.org/#/record/9845004842C88BE9BF27" }
```

### 📊 Sample Output

![Sample output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/8gLgXMBveEI1tTz1z/records/gleif-new-legal-entity-monitor-output.png)

### 🛠 How it works

1. **Source** — official GLEIF LEI-records API (`api.gleif.org`), no key, no login, no proxy.
2. **Filter** — by initial-registration date range, country, entity status, registration status.
3. **Sort** — newest registrations first.
4. **Schema** — one row per entity with full registry metadata + citation.
5. **Paginate** — walks pages up to `maxResults`.

### ⚖️ Legal & data sources

Data from the **official GLEIF API** (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) — open data under the GLEIF licence, no key or login required. Identified User-Agent.

### ❓ FAQ

**Is this all new companies?** No — only entities that obtained an **LEI**; a global subset (skews financial/regulated), not every incorporation.
**Do I need an API key?** No.
**Which countries?** Global; filter with an ISO 2-letter `country`.
**How fresh?** Live from GLEIF at run time; default window is the last 7 days.
**Can I get only active issued LEIs?** Yes — `entityStatus: ACTIVE`, `registrationStatus: ISSUED`.
**What is `legalForm`?** The ELF (Entity Legal Form) code from the ISO 20275 list.

### 🆘 Troubleshooting

- **0 results** — widen the date range or drop the country/status filters.
- **Want a specific jurisdiction** — `country` filters by legal-address country.
- **Too many** — lower `maxResults` or narrow the date window.
- **Need full UK incorporations** — that requires Companies House (separate actor; needs a free key).
