business.entity-match

Fuzzy entity resolution: resolve a messy, free-text company name to its canonical GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) with a 0-1 similarity score and a high/medium/low confidence label. Tolerant of legal-suffix noise (Inc/Ltd/GmbH/S.A.), word order, ampersands, punctuation, and former/alternate names (e.g. 'Apple Computer Inc' resolves to Apple Inc. via GLEIF's recorded other-names). Returns the top candidates ranked by score plus a single bestMatch (null when nothing clears medium confidence — so a low-confidence top hit is never silently treated as a match, which is the safe default for KYB). The record-linkage complement to business.lei (name search). Optional country (ISO-2) narrows to a jurisdiction. Backed by GLEIF Golden Copy (~2.6M entities, CC0).

Code samples

cURLbash

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/business/entity-match?name=xx&country=xx&limit=5'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/business/entity-match?name=xx&country=xx&limit=5' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):

#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/business/entity-match?name=xx&country=xx&limit=5'
