📋 What the Global Company Records Scraper does

Two collection workflows in a single Actor:

• 🔍 Search mode. Search the global registry by legal name, country, jurisdiction, entity status, registration status, entity category, legal form, BIC, or ISIN, then pull a paginated dataset of matching records.
• 🎯 Lookup mode. Fetch one specific entity by its 20-character LEI code for precise enrichment workflows.

Each record can optionally include the direct parent, ultimate parent, and any issued ISIN identifiers by enabling the Fetch parents and ISINs toggle. Records cover the entity's legal identity, registered and headquarters addresses, status, key dates, previous and other names, and a link back to the canonical Global LEI Index record.

💡 Why it matters: the Legal Entity Identifier is the worldwide standard for identifying entities in financial transactions, mandated by G20 regulators and embedded in MiFID II, EMIR, Dodd-Frank, and 100+ other regulations. One single canonical record per entity, validated by accredited issuers in each jurisdiction, downloadable as a row.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: bicCodes, companyNumber, country, currentStatus, directParentName, entityCategory, headquartersAddressInFull, incorporationDate, isinCodes, jurisdictionCode, lastUpdateDate, legalFormCode, leiCode, name, nextRenewalDate, otherNames, previousNames, registeredAddressInFull, registrationStatus, registryUrl, scrapedAt, spGlobalIds, ultimateParentName. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
