GLEIF legal entities (Open Feed)
The GLEIF Global LEI Index — 3.39M legal entities with their registered name, jurisdiction, entity and registration status, legal form and registration authority, served close to as-published. At least one filter is required: the feed covers 3.39M records, so an unfiltered listing is refused with 400 FILTER_REQUIRED rather than served slowly. name matches the normalized legal name exactly or by prefix (never a substring scan). Plan-gated: requires the can_use_gleif entitlement (Analyst plan and up); non-entitled plans receive 403 PLAN_REQUIRED. Source: GLEIF Golden Copy, published under CC0 1.0. Every response carries meta.attributions[] with GLEIF’s required non-endorsement notice.
