# National business registry catalog (1,071 entries)

`GET /api/v1/gleif/registration-authorities`

Return the registry of business-registration authorities referenced by LEI records. Each entry carries the authority code (`RA000001` through `RA001071`), English and local-language names, website, and covered jurisdictions. Use the authority code to trace `entity.registeredAt.id` values on LEI records back to the upstream registry.

## Query parameters

- `page_size` integer — Entries per page (1 to 200).
- `page_number` integer — 1-based page number.

## Response `200`

Registration authority entries with codes, names, websites, and jurisdictions, plus pagination block.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header. JSON body with a stable `code` distinguishing `missing_api_key` (no header sent) from `invalid_api_key` (header sent, key not accepted); any other 401 source carries the generic `unauthorized` with its detail as `reason`. Plus `hint`. `plan` is always null on 401 - an unauthenticated request has no plan; quota exhaustion is 429, not 401.
- `422` — Validation Error
- `429` — Daily rate limit exceeded. Check `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the next window.
- `503` — Upstream source is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay.
