What it does
GLEIF Legal Entity Monitor watches the official GLEIF API for newly issued Legal Entity Identifiers and returns one structured record per entity. It queries the live registry, filters and sorts by registration timeframe, country, and status, and paginates through results. Each record carries the LEI, registered legal name, country and jurisdiction, ISO legal-form code, entity and registration status, lifecycle dates, the issuing LOU and registration authority, plus a source citation and fetch timestamp. Note: it covers LEI-registered entities, not a complete formation feed.
Who it's for
KYC/AML teams screening new counterparties, entity-intelligence analysts tracking new registrations by country and legal form, and B2B researchers looking for fresh entity signals to drive outreach.
