GLEIF Direct Subsidiaries — one level down, no login
Lists a company's direct (first-tier) subsidiaries via GLEIF's official Direct Children endpoint: legal name, status, jurisdiction, HQ country/city, legal form. Returns only immediate children, not the full family tree — the layer investors usually mean by "subsidiaries." CC0, no login.

Give this actor a company's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and it returns only that
company's direct (first-tier) subsidiaries — the layer investors, researchers and KYB
teams usually mean by "subsidiaries," not the full multi-generation tree. It calls GLEIF's
own official direct-children endpoint (the same public Access Service behind gleif.org's
search), so the parent/child link is GLEIF's, not a scrape of a web page.
Open data, CC0 1.0 licensed: free to use commercially, no permission or attribution required (source: GLEIF LEI Data Terms of Use). This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by GLEIF — it's an independent client of their public API.
Direct vs. full tree
Need the entire corporate family tree, grandchildren included? Use the companion actor
GLEIF Corporate Family Tree (ultimate-children). This actor is the lighter, one-level
version for when you only need the direct reporting line.
Tested (2026-09-02)
| Parent LEI | Company | Direct children found |
|---|---|---|
HWUPKR0MPOU8FGXBT394 | Apple Inc. | 8 |
A LEI with no direct subsidiaries simply returns 0 items (no charge) — it's not an error.
Don't have the LEI yet?
Use the companion actor GLEIF LEI Company Registry Lookup to search a company by name and get its LEI first, then feed that LEI into this actor.
Input
Each target is a 20-character parent LEI code.
Output
One dataset item per direct subsidiary:
| Field | |
|---|---|
lei | the subsidiary's own 20-character LEI |
legal_name | subsidiary's registered legal name |
entity_status | ACTIVE / INACTIVE |
category | e.g. FUND, GENERAL |
jurisdiction | ISO country/region code of incorporation |
legal_form_id | ISO 20275 legal form code |
hq_country / hq_city | headquarters country and city (no street address — company-identifying fields only, no personal data) |
registration_status | ISSUED / LAPSED / RETIRED / etc. |
managing_lou | the Local Operating Unit (issuer) managing this LEI |
initial_registration_date / last_update_date / next_renewal_date | LEI lifecycle dates |
No personal data: LEI records identify companies and funds, not individuals.
Why this over GLEIF's own website
gleif.org shows one entity's relationships at a time, in a UI built for eyeballs, not pipelines. This actor batches multiple parent LEIs in one run and hands back structured rows — for consolidated-reporting subsidiary lists, KYB checks, or competitive intelligence that needs just the direct reporting line in a dataset.
Use Cases
- Org-chart building — get a company's immediate reporting-line subsidiaries without the noise of a full multi-generation tree
- Consolidated financial reporting — identify the direct subsidiaries that must be rolled into group accounts
- KYB first-pass — a quick one-hop check before deciding whether the full family tree (companion actor) is needed
- Jurisdiction mapping — see which countries a company's direct subsidiaries are incorporated in
Pricing
Pay per event: $2.00 per 1,000 direct-subsidiary records collected. Nothing else.
