Resolve any company to its global identifier.
Ask an LLM for a company's legal identity and it guesses. Dynamic Feed resolves it: one keyless call to `company_lookup` returns the global ISO-17442 LEI + canonical legal name, address, status and local registration, straight from GLEIF — the join key to sanctions screening and SEC filings.
The call
Keyless over MCP, or one REST call with a free key. Every datapoint is provenance-stamped and citeable.
# Resolve a company name to its global LEI (keyless):
curl -s https://dynamicfeed.ai/v1/batch -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"calls":[{"tool":"company_lookup","args":{"query":"Apple Inc"}}]}'
# Or by exact LEI: {"tool":"company_lookup","args":{"lei":"HWUPKR0MPOU8FGXBT394"}}

Why live data
The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is the ISO-17442 global ID for a legal entity, issued under the GLEIF system. `company_lookup` resolves a fuzzy name (or an exact LEI) to the canonical record: legal name, legal form, address, entity + registration status, the local business register and registration number, and renewal dates. GLEIF publishes LEI data under CC0 1.0 (public domain) — full commercial redistribution, no attribution legally required (Dynamic Feed carries the source anyway, and never implies GLEIF endorsement). It's the deterministic JOIN KEY between Dynamic Feed's sanctions_screen and sec_filings — and something an LLM cannot reliably do from memory. It is identity resolution, NOT a legal/credit judgement: confirm the full official entry before acting.
Use it for
- Resolve a fuzzy company name to one global identifier (LEI), deterministically
- KYB / entity-resolution: verify a counterparty is a real, currently-active registered entity
- The join key across sanctions screening, SEC filings and your own records
- De-dupe company names across systems to a single canonical ID
FAQ
What's an LEI?
A 20-character ISO-17442 Legal Entity Identifier — the global, registry-backed ID for a legal entity, issued under the GLEIF system. It uniquely identifies who a company legally is.
Is it free and commercial-use OK?
Yes. GLEIF publishes LEI data under CC0 1.0 (public domain) — full commercial redistribution, no attribution legally required. Keyless via Dynamic Feed.
Fuzzy name or exact match?
Pass a partial/legal name (matched against the GLEIF legal-name index) or an exact 20-char LEI. Optional ISO-2 country filter. Confirm the official entry before acting.
