Overview
Returns the GLEIF-curated direct family of an entity: its corporate parent and its direct subsidiaries, one level deep. This is the curated, direct-consolidation view of corporate structure, distinct from the raw, all-relationship-types graph at Owner Related. Family edges come from GLEIF Level 2 (theIS_DIRECTLY_CONSOLIDATED_BY relationship). Coverage is therefore limited to LEI-reporting companies: an absent edge does not mean the entity has no parent or subsidiaries, only that none is recorded in GLEIF. An entity not linked to any others, or a company profile with no GLEIF edges, returns { parent: null, children: [] } (a valid 200, not a 404).
“Family” is a group-level relationship: related companies in a corporate tree. It is never an identity claim:
Pfizer Inc (US) and Pfizer AG (CH) are distinct entities connected by family, not the same entity.Path Parameters
string
required
Entity ID (e.g.
ent_R3jK9mN2), including the derived ent_<owner-uuid> form.Response
string
Always
entity_family.object | null
object[]
Direct subsidiaries, sorted by name. Each carries
relationship: "direct_subsidiary" and source: "gleif".string
Always
gleif.string
A human-readable note that edges are GLEIF Level 2 and cover LEI-reporting companies only.
string
Unique request identifier for support.

-H "Authorization: Bearer sig_YOUR_KEY"
import { Signa } from "@signa-so/sdk";
const signa = new Signa({ api_key: process.env.SIGNA_API_KEY });
const family = await signa.entities.family("ent_R3jK9mN2");
console.log(family.parent?.name, family.children.length);
To list trademarks across the whole corporate group (parent + all descendants), use the
entity_group filter on Search Trademarks: GET /v1/trademarks?entity_group=ent_....Errors
| Status | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | unauthorized | Missing or invalid API key |
| 403 | forbidden | API key lacks the trademarks:read scope |
| 404 | not_found | Entity ID does not exist (or a derived id for a suppressed or merged-away owner) |
| 410 | entity_merged | The entity was fused into another; follow merged_into |
