Official source, no API key needed
GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation). GLEIF operates the global LEI index and publishes it as open data. The actor queries the official GLEIF service keyless and returns the full LEI record: registration status, renewal dates, the managing Local Operating Unit, and ISIN cross-references.

FAQ
Where can I look up an LEI number?
The official search is GLEIF's own LEI index, open and keyless. This actor wraps it for automation: batch lookups by LEI or name, structured JSON out, including nextRenewalDate so expiry monitoring can be scheduled.
How is the actor priced?
Pay per event: $0.00125 per result, tiering down to $0.0009 at volume.
Can LEI records be matched to ISINs?
Yes. Each record carries an isins array, so entity identifiers can be joined against security identifiers in one record.
