Search EU financial authorisations (ESMA)
search_eu_financial_authorisationsSearch EU financial authorisations in ESMA Registers: ~14,000 MiFID-regulated entities across all EU/EEA countries (investment firms, UCITS/AIFM managers) by name or LEI — authorisation status, home and host member states, competent authority, dates. Use to verify that a financial firm is actually regulated somewhere in the EU. Data freely available at the source (ESMA). Paid via x402 ($0.01 in USDC or EURC).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Entity name or 20-character LEI. Unsupported characters are stripped, not rejected. | |
| pays | No | Optional ISO-3166 alpha-2 home-member-state filter (FR, DE...) | |
| api_key | No | Optional Sirenic API key (srn_live_…) to pay with prepaid credits instead of x402 — no wallet needed. Get one at https://api.sirenic.eu/compte. Ignored when x_payment is provided (the signed payment wins). On insufficient balance the tool returns a credits error, not an x402 quote. | |
| x_payment | No | Optional signed x402 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header value. Omit to receive the payment quote. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| hint | No | How to settle the quote, present when payment_required is true. | |
| quote | No | The signable x402 payment requirements when payment_required is true: {x402Version, accepts[]} where each entry carries scheme, network, amount, asset and payTo (USDC and EURC options at the same numeric amount). Sign one entry and call again with `x_payment`. | |
| resultat | No | The endpoint's JSON response when payment_required is false. Paid responses carry `source`, `disclaimer` and an Ed25519 signature; KYB, batch KYB, sanctions, intelligence and the five invoicing tools (prepare_french_invoice_file, prepare_european_invoice_file, prepare_french_einvoicing_recipient, verify_iban_bank, validate_eu_vat_number) also carry a `provenance` array — one entry per block served, with the official register, licence, version, `as_of` date and `precision_as_of` (what that date means). Codes are documented at GET /v1/provenance/registres (free). | |
| payment_required | Yes | True when this response is an x402 payment quote instead of data: settle one of the quote's `accepts` options and call the tool again with `x_payment`. |
