GLEIF Entity Registry

No authgleif

GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier) — resolve a company name to its LEI and an LEI to its direct/ultimate PARENT. No auth. USE: map an operator subsidiary (e.g. "Pioneer Natural Resources USA") to its ultimate parent — the recurring problem where regulators list many subsidiary names for one major. METHODS: searchEntities (by name), suggestEntities (fuzzy name→LEI), getEntity (by LEI), getUltimateParent, getDirectParent. RULES: LEIs are 20-char [A-Z0-9]. Parent endpoints return null when none is recorded (the entity is itself top-level). Global coverage incl. private subsidiaries SEC lacks.
