Extract data from the official GLEIF register of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) — the global, authoritative database of legally registered entities maintained by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation. This Actor talks directly to GLEIF's own public API, so the data is authoritative, refreshed daily, needs no key, and never breaks.
Perfect for KYC, AML, compliance, due diligence, entity resolution and B2B data enrichment.

What is an LEI?
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-character code that uniquely identifies a legally distinct entity that engages in financial transactions. LEIs are required by regulators worldwide (MiFID II, EMIR, Dodd-Frank and more) and are the global standard for identifying "who is who" and "who owns whom" in the financial system.
