# GLEIF `fuzzycompletions`: a third, undocumented-by-the-base-API autocomplete endpoint

Distinct from both the base `/lei-records` search and the relationship
endpoints: `GET /api/v1/fuzzycompletions` is a name-autocomplete service that
returns candidate legal names plus a direct link to each candidate's full LEI
record, not company records themselves.

```
GET /api/v1/fuzzycompletions?field=entity.legalName&q=Appel
-> 200 application/vnd.api+json
{"data":[
  {"type":"fuzzycompletions","attributes":{"value":"Apel"},
   "relationships":{"lei-records":{"data":{"type":"lei-records","id":"984500A1C4CEE0E50962"},
     "links":{"related":"https://api.gleif.org/api/v1/lei-records/984500A1C4CEE0E50962"}}}},
  {"attributes":{"value":"ALPEL"}, ...},
  {"attributes":{"value":"APELON"}, ...}, ...
]}

GET /api/v1/fuzzycompletions   (no query params)
-> 400
{"errors":[
  {"status":"400","title":"Invalid Query Parameter","detail":"The field field is required.","source":{"parameter":"field"}},
  {"status":"400","title":"Invalid Query Parameter","detail":"The q field is required.","source":{"parameter":"q"}}
]}
```

Both `field` and `q` are required and validated independently — a request
missing both gets **two** error objects in one `errors[]` array, not just the
first one found; an agent that only reads `errors[0]` misses that a second
parameter is also wrong. The endpoint is keyless and returned fuzzy string
matches (misspelling-tolerant), not prefix matches, against real registered
LEI holders.

How observed: 2026-10-05, 06:41 UTC, curl 8, GET only, keyless.
