Pricing
Pay per usage
LEI company data from the Global LEI Index (GLEIF): look up LEI codes by number, name, UK company number or SIREN; list new, lapsed or renewed LEIs by country and date; ultimate parent groups. CC0 open data, no API key, no sole proprietors. Unofficial: not affiliated with or endorsed by GLEIF.
You can access the LEI Lookup & Changes — Legal Entity Identifier Data, No API Key programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
