How does this differ from LEI Lookup company?

Both read LEI data. GLEIF company returns the full Global LEI Index record with fund, branch and parent detail; LEI Lookup company reads the public register at lei-lookup.com.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a lookup cost?

5 points per resolved lookup, which is $5 per 1,000, and only successful lookups are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance, so there is no separate per-country contract.

GLEIF LEI Lookup API and MCP — Entity, Parents and Subsidiaries by LEI

Send a LEI code, or a link to the record on search.gleif.org, and get the full Current Data record from the Global LEI Index: names and previous names, legal form, registration authority and registration number, legal and headquarters addresses, BIC and ISIN codes, registration and renewal dates, the managing issuer, fund and branch relationships, and the direct and ultimate parents and children.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a 20-character LEI code or a search.gleif.org record link
You get back: Names, legal form, registration authority, addresses, BIC and ISIN codes, registration and renewal dates, managing issuer, fund and branch relationships, and direct and ultimate parents and children
Coverage: Records on Global LEI Index (GLEIF).
Price: 5 pts — $5 per 1,000; Charged only when the record resolves. A lookup that finds nothing is not billed.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Global LEI Index (GLEIF) directly	Open Global LEI Index (GLEIF) and read the record	Usually free, sometimes per-document	A different interface, language and data shape for every country you add
Collecting it yourself	Build and host a crawler per register, then keep each one alive	Infrastructure and maintenance	Registers change their pages without warning, and nobody is on the hook when yours breaks
NeuralVerge	One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog	$5 per 1,000, misses not billed	Covers the register named on this page — other countries are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

One company per request. Pass the registration number or the link to the record on the register.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-gleif-companies \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company":"HWUPKR0MPOU8FGXBT394"}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Entity resolution

Anchor a company to its LEI and registration authority number to match it across systems.

Corporate hierarchy

Read direct and ultimate parents and children for a first view of a group.

Securities mapping

Link a LEI to its BIC and ISIN codes.

LEI health checks

Watch status, last update and next renewal dates to see whether a LEI is current.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

Records on Global LEI Index (GLEIF).

Freshness

Read at request time, so the answer reflects the register as it stands when you ask.

Handling

Global LEI Index (GLEIF) is a public register. Every response carries the source URL it was read from and a session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Parent fields can be null with an exception reason, as in the sample, when no parent is reported.
—Only entities that hold a LEI are in the index.
—Lookup is by LEI or record link. Use GLEIF company search to find a LEI from a name.
