Download the GLEIF Golden Copy and Delta Files
The Golden Copy Files, published by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), provide information on Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) and related reference data in a ready-to-use format that ensures:
-
Data does not contain technical duplicates.
-
All LEIs ever published in a GLEIF Golden Copy File version as well as all new LEIs published by the LEI issuers since the previous release of a Golden Copy File are included in the file.
-
Enriched reference data provides deeper insight into the global market place.
GLEIF issues three sets of Golden Copy Files daily. With each updated version of the Golden Copy Files, GLEIF also makes available four delta files. The delta files identify only newly issued LEIs and / or revisions to an LEI’s reference data historically reported in a Golden Copy File published either:
-
Eight hours earlier.
-
24 hours earlier.
-
Seven days earlier.
-
One month (31 days) earlier.
For detailed information, including the aspects that distinguish the GLEIF Golden Copy Files from the GLEIF Concatenated Files, refer to this dedicated website page: GLEIF Golden Copy and Delta Files.
The GLEIF Golden Copy Files, which are available for download, include specific information on LEI records based on the relevant Common Data File (CDF) format.
The content of the Golden Copy files is also available in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. GLEIF has partnered with data.world, who offer this graph representation of the Golden Copy files: data.world/gleif/lei data
If you find something you wish to question, you may submit a challenge to any LEI data record through GLEIF’s central challenge facility.
