This library uses Python to query the GLEIF.org's API.
Documentation
Full documentation, including the complete API reference, is available at pygleif.readthedocs.io.
[!NOTE]
pygleif.v1(PyGleif,Search) is deprecated. New code should usepygleif.v2(GleifClient), shown below.
Installing the library
pip install pygleif
To install the latest in-development version from main (may be ahead of the
last PyPI release):
pip install git+https://github.com/ggravlingen/pygleif.git@main
Example: fetching data for a specific LEI:
from pygleif import GleifClient
client = GleifClient()
response = client.get_lei_record("549300MLUDYVRQOOXS22")
# Print the name of the company with the LEI above
print(response.data.attributes.entity.legal_name.name)
# prints UK EQUITY FUND (OFFSHORE)
Example: search for a LEI using organisation number:
from pygleif import GleifClient
client = GleifClient()
response = client.search_fulltext("5560142720")
# Print the LEI of the company with the LEI above
print(response.data[0].attributes.lei)
# prints 213800T8PC8Q4FYJZR07
Example: iterating over a full result set
iter_search follows the API's pagination for you (async: aiter_search):
from pygleif import GleifClient
client = GleifClient(retries=2)
for record in client.iter_search(
filters={"entity.legalAddress.country": "SE"},
max_records=500,
):
print(record.attributes.lei, record.attributes.entity.legal_name.name)
Command line
The package also installs a pygleif console command:
$ pygleif get 5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12
$ pygleif search "bank" --page-size 5
Async usage
Every GleifClient method has an a-prefixed async counterpart (e.g.
search_fulltext / asearch_fulltext), backed by httpx2:
import asyncio
from pygleif import GleifClient
async def main() -> None:
async with GleifClient() as client:
response = await client.aget_lei_record("549300MLUDYVRQOOXS22")
print(response.data.attributes.entity.legal_name.name)
asyncio.run(main())
