Summary
Counterparty checks against the registers rather than against a search engine.
Name to LEI to registration status in one pass, with filings and XBRL numbers on top for US public companies — enough to answer "is this a real, active company" without a data subscription.
What it is
A company lookup server backed by public registers: GLEIF for legal entity data across 200+ jurisdictions, and SEC EDGAR for US filings and XBRL financials.
What you get
- A company found by name across 200+ jurisdictions, out of the GLEIF global LEI database
- Full entity detail by LEI code, or by jurisdiction plus company number
- LEI codes searched by company name, with registration status and entity details
- SEC EDGAR filings for US companies — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1 and the rest
- Revenue, income and assets for US public companies, from SEC XBRL data
- A quick status check: is the entity active, and does anything look wrong
Requirements
Node, and nothing else — it is free with no API key, because both GLEIF and SEC EDGAR are public. Coverage follows those registers: LEI data is global, filings and financials are US only.
