# One GLEIF entity, with its relationships and ISINs

> The full Level-1 record for a single LEI plus its Level-2 relationships, any declared reporting exceptions, and its LEI↔ISIN mappings. A structurally impossible LEI returns 400 INVALID_LEI (it fails the ISO 17442 check digit); a well-formed LEI we do not hold returns 404. Corporate hierarchy as reported to the Global LEI System: accounting consolidation under IFRS/US-GAAP, not percentage ownership and not beneficial ownership. Natural persons are out of scope, and reporting is partial — an absent parent usually means the filer declared a reporting exception rather than that none exists. 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.

  title: GDELT Cloud API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: >-
    Clean v2 REST API for generated GDELT Cloud structured Events, clustered
    Stories, linked Entities, summaries, admin1 discovery, significance ranking,
    and paginated article evidence.


    Event significance is a family-scoped weighted blend, renormalized so every
    event family spans a true 0-1: each event's raw total is divided by the
    maximum its own family can reach (Conflict 1.00, CAMEO+ POLITICAL 0.90,
    other CAMEO+ domains 0.65). All events: Goldstein severity 0.25, article
    evidence 0.05, confidence 0.05. Conflict only: fatalities 0.55 (log-scaled
    by body count) and civilian targeting 0.10. CAMEO+ only: magnitude 0.20,
    systemic importance 0.15, propagation potential 0.10, market sensitivity
    0.10. When magnitude is unmeasured its term AND its 0.20 weight are both
    dropped. The four CAMEO+ metrics are rubric scores produced by published
    formulas - ordinal ranking signals, not measurements, probabilities, or
    predicted price moves. goldstein_scale is one canonical public metric,
    populated for Conflict Events and CAMEO+ POLITICAL Events where meaningful.
    Story linked_event_count is a Story-to-Event link aggregate, not a distinct
    Event total.
