verify_company_record

dev.hatchloop/sanctions-screening · Verify this server

Free, live lookup of a company official registry record. Queries the GLEIF global LEI registry (primary, 2.6 million legal entities worldwide) and SEC EDGAR (US public companies) to return the official legal name, LEI, entity status, jurisdiction, registered address, and registry authority. Never fabricates: if the company is not found in these free registries, returns an honest not_found with the sources that were queried. EXAMPLE USER QUERIES THAT MATCH THIS TOOL: user: "Is Apple Inc a real registered company?" -> call verify_company_record({"name": "Apple Inc", "country": "US"}) user: "Look up the LEI for Volkswagen AG" -> call verify_company_record({"name": "Volkswagen AG", "country": "DE"}) user: "Verify this LEI: 529900HNOAA1KXQJUQ27" -> call verify_company_record({"name": "Volkswagen AG", "lei": "529900HNOAA1KXQJUQ27"}) WHEN TO USE: Use when you need to verify that a company exists as a registered legal entity and retrieve its official registry details -- before signing a contract, qualifying a vendor, validating a counterparty, or populating a due-diligence record. Accepts a legal name plus optional country filter or a direct LEI for a precise lookup. WHEN NOT TO USE: Do not use to verify private companies not registered with GLEIF or SEC. Do not use as an exhaustive fraud-detection tool; this is a first-pass existence check against free public registries, not a full KYC screen. COST: free within the daily quota, then $0.02 per call LATENCY: ~800ms
