New LEI Registrations: Newly Registered Legal Entities

What does New LEI Registrations do?

New LEI Registrations returns the legal entities that were just issued a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), straight from the official GLEIF API. Every new company, fund or branch that will trade, borrow or report in financial markets needs an LEI, so this is an early, worldwide signal of new and newly active businesses. It returns what GLEIF publishes; it does not verify or score the entities.

It collects data from GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) and returns clean, structured results you can download or pull through the Apify API.

Why use New LEI Registrations?

• Fintech, banking and payments sales: reach companies and funds the week they get the identifier they need to open accounts, trade or report.
• KYC and onboarding teams: pull fresh LEI records with registration numbers, legal forms and addresses to pre-fill and check customer files.
• Fund and asset-management research: follow new funds by country, with the umbrella or manager LEI when it is reported.
• Market and competitor intelligence: count new legal entities by country, legal form or name, and schedule daily runs to build a time series.
• AI agents: clean, consistent JSON with a link to the official GLEIF record on every result.
• Runs on the Apify platform: schedule runs, call it through the API, connect it to integrations, and get notified when a run fails.

How to use New LEI Registrations

1. Open the actor and select Try for free.
2. Fill in Days back, Issued from. The prefilled example works as a first test.
3. Set Maximum results to control how much data, and cost, a run produces.
4. Select Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them through the API.

How much does it cost to use New LEI Registrations?

You pay per result: $5.00 per 1,000 results ($0.005 each), plus Apify's small start fee of $0.0001 per run. For example, 1,000 results cost about $5.00. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Subscribers to Apify's paid plans pay less per result: 10% off on Bronze, 20% off on Silver and 30% off on Gold and higher plans.

Get only new results

Turn on Only new results and schedule the actor (for example daily) to use it as a monitor: each run skips what earlier runs already returned, so you get a feed of new records and pay only for those. The first run returns everything that matches. The memory lives in your own Apify account; give runs the same Monitor name to share it when you change other inputs.

Use it from AI agents

AI agents can find and run New LEI Registrations as a tool through Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API, and get the same structured results, billed per result. Without code, Apify's Zapier, Make and n8n integrations can start it and send each new result to a sheet, CRM or chat.

Input

See the Input tab for every option. The main fields:

Field	Type	Default	Description
daysBack	integer	7	LEIs issued in this many days up to today, today included. Ignored when a start date is set.
dateFrom	string	""	Only LEIs first issued on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to use Days back.
dateTo	string	""	Only LEIs first issued on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty for today.
countries	array	[]	Two-letter ISO codes of the legal address country, for example DE, GB or AE. Leave empty for every country.
categories	array	["GENERAL", "FUND", "BRANCH", "RESIDENT_GOVERNMENT_ENTITY", "INTERNATIONAL_ORGANIZATION"]	Which kinds of legal entity to include. Sole proprietors are not offered because they are people trading under their own name.
nameContains	string	""	Only entities whose legal name contains this text, for example Capital or Bank.
onlyActive	boolean	true	Leave out entities GLEIF already marks as inactive.
maxResults	integer	1000	Stop after this many results. Each result costs $0.005, so this also caps the cost of a run. Use 0 for no limit. Keep it low for a first test.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Monitoring mode: skip results this monitor returned in earlier runs, so a scheduled run returns, and bills, only what is new. The first run returns everything that matches.
monitorName	string	""	Runs with the same name share one memory of returned results, even if you change other inputs. Leave empty to keep a separate memory for each distinct input.

Example input:

{
  "daysBack": 3,
  "maxResults": 20
}

Tips

• Set Days back to 1, turn on Only new results and schedule a daily run to get a feed of each day's new LEIs.
• Use Countries to focus on your market, for example AE and SA for the Gulf, or DE, FR and NL for the EU.
• Choose only Funds under Entity categories to follow new investment funds.
• Schedule the actor to keep a dataset fresh, and use the API or integrations to send new results where you need them.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Where does the data come from?

From GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) (api.gleif.org). Data is used under: GLEIF LEI data is published free of charge under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 public domain dedication; reuse, including commercial reuse, needs no permission. See the source's terms: https://www.gleif.org/en/meta/lei-data-terms-of-use

Is it legal to use this data?

This actor only collects publicly available data from GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) and does not collect personal data about private individuals. Check that your use complies with the source's terms and the laws that apply to you. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation).

How fresh is the data?

GLEIF publishes new and updated LEI records several times a day, and the actor queries the live API on every run. A record usually appears within a day of the LEI being issued.

Why are sole proprietors missing?

Sole proprietors are people trading under their own name, often from a home address. To avoid returning personal data, the actor never returns them, and it drops address lines that start with c/o (care of a person).

What is the difference between the LEI issued date and the entity creation date?

The LEI issued date is when the entity received its identifier. The entity creation date is when the company or fund itself was set up, which can be years earlier: an older company that only now needs an LEI shows up as a new registration too.

Does an LEI mean the company is verified?

LEI issuers check registration data against a business register, and corroborationLevel shows how far that check went. It is not a credit, sanctions or ownership check.
