They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Search by company name or exact LEI and get clean, structured KYB data: legal name, registered address, entity and registration status, the local company number that links to national registries, full parent AND subsidiary LEI linkage, linked ISIN securities, and cross-reference IDs (S\&P Global, OpenCorporates, MIC) for entity resolution. **📥 [Input](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/gleif-lei-records-scraper/input-schema) · 📤 [Output](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/gleif-lei-records-scraper/output-schema) · 💰 [Pricing](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/gleif-lei-records-scraper/pricing) · ▶️ [Examples](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/gleif-lei-records-scraper/examples)** ![Apify](https://img.shields.io/badge/Platform-Apify-1CE1CE?logo=apify\&logoColor=white) ![Data](https://img.shields.io/badge/Data-KYB%20%7C%20Company%20registry-blue) ![Output](https://img.shields.io/badge/Output-JSON%20%7C%20CSV%20%7C%20Excel-orange)

### Who is it for | Use case | Who benefits | |---|---| | KYB and onboarding | Compliance teams verifying legal entities and their status | | Entity resolution | Analysts linking an LEI to a national company number | | Risk and ownership mapping | Teams tracing direct and ultimate parents | | Data enrichment | Builders adding clean legal-entity data to their CRM or graph | ### How to use it 1. Add one or more **Company Names** to search, or exact **LEI Codes** for direct lookups. 2. Set **Max Records To Scrape** to control run size. 3. Run, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API. ### Frequently Asked Questions **What is an LEI?** The Legal Entity Identifier is a 20-character global ID that uniquely identifies a legal entity in financial transactions. It is the backbone of many KYB and reporting workflows. **How does the local company number help?** Each record includes the registration authority and the entity's identifier at that authority (its local company number), which lets you connect an LEI to the official record in the relevant national business registry. **Can I trace corporate ownership?** Yes. When a direct or ultimate parent is reported, the record includes that parent's LEI so you can walk the ownership chain. **Do empty runs cost anything?** No. You are only charged for real LEI records returned. A run that matches nothing produces no billable results. ### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP) Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs. For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box.

It only accesses publicly available legal-entity reference data. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms. # Actor input Schema ## `companyNames` (type: `array`): One or more company names to search in the global LEI registry. Each name runs its own search and every result is tagged with the name that produced it. A single name works too. ## `leiCodes` (type: `array`): Optional. One or more exact 20-character LEI codes to fetch directly (for example HWUPKR0MPOU8FGXBT394 for Apple Inc.). Faster and precise when you already know the LEI. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of LEI records to collect across the whole run. ## Actor input object example ```json { "companyNames": [ "Apple", "Siemens" ], "maxRecords": 30 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
