Question 1

Is this real-time or the latest annual data?

Accepted Answer

Annual securities reports (有価証券報告書) — the latest filed fiscal year per company. Figures are as filed with Japan's FSA EDINET. No intraday or quarterly data. Each response includes the source document ID and submission date so every number is traceable to the original filing.

Question 2

Which companies and accounting standards are covered?

Accepted Answer

About 3,600 listed Japanese non-financial companies. Banks, insurers and securities firms are excluded because their statement structure differs. Accounting standard is auto-detected (IFRS / Japanese GAAP / US GAAP). Items that don't exist under a company's standard are returned as null with a reason — never approximated. Public disclosure data only, not investment advice.
