GLEIF LEI Scraper — Legal Entity Identifier Records

What this Actor scrapes

The LEI is the one identifier that ties a legal entity to its regulatory record worldwide, which makes GLEIF the reference file for KYC, AML and counterparty onboarding. Its API is JSON:API — every useful value sits two or three levels down under <code>data[].attributes.entity</code>, and the address arrives as an array of lines. This Actor flattens all of it into one row per entity so a counterparty list becomes a spreadsheet.

What we handle for you

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — the target sees a real browser TLS handshake, not a script.
• 🌐 Proxy rotation — fresh exit on every block through Apify Proxy.
• 🔁 Retries with backoff — 408 / 429 / 5xx retried up to five times, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧊 Clean, typed rows — schema-validated output with ISO-8601 timestamps.
• 💰 Pay per result — no data, no result charge.

Use cases

• Resolve counterparty names to LEI codes for KYC and AML onboarding.
• Screen a client list for lapsed LEI registrations before a reporting deadline.
• Map a corporate group's registered entities across jurisdictions.
• Enrich a CRM with authoritative legal names, forms and registered addresses.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

{
  "legalName": "Equinor",
  "maxResults": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Output

One row per result, schema-validated before it is written. Export JSON, CSV, Excel or XML from the run, or read it over the API.
