GLEIF LEI Issuers (Legal Entity Identifier infrastructure)
Register + standard market (gleif lou accreditation, vlei qualification, registration authorities). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market:
who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure.
Methodology.
30providers measured
6 (20.0%)declare their own
3 (10.0%)covered by others only
5 (16.7%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
16 (53.3%)undeclared
10declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)

Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can
read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.
Where this market publishes its structure
- GLEIF accredited LEI issuers (api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-issuers, JSON:API) machine-readable, 41 LOUs with LEI + website + accreditation date; 3 linked (Bloomberg, GS1, InfoCert); 5 held as subsidiaries on a parent's domain; 2 public-sector hosts; 31 not in the catalog
- GLEIF qualified vLEI issuers (api.gleif.org/api/v1/vlei-issuers) machine-readable, 8 QVIs (CFCA, TOPPAN Edge, Global vLEI, SHECA, Certizen, Finema, Provenant, TradeGo); 0 in the catalog
- GLEIF Registration Authorities List (api.gleif.org/api/v1/registration-authorities) machine-readable, 1,138 registers, 1,128 with a website; 415 public-sector hosts held; 3 linked repos all regulators (held); 0 edges
- GLEIF registration agents (api.gleif.org/api/v1/registration-agents) machine-readable, 73 agents; resellers of an LOU's issuance, held by rule; 0 resolve to a catalog repo
- GLEIF LEI records per provider (api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-records?filter[entity.legalName]=) machine-readable, not used as an edge source: holding an LEI makes a company an end-user of the LEI system, and Level 1 data carries no website to bridge a domain
- GLEIF Validation Agents (gleif.org/en/lei-solutions/validation-agents) not machine-readable: no list published; the page carries testimonials naming 7 organisations (FinClusive, Rubix, VerifyVASP, CFCA, Sparkasse Bank Malta, MNS Credit, E-Arbitrator), not a register; the API has no validation-agents endpoint (404)
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-23 from the 30 providers in this market we could resolve in the
catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside
position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
