Full-text search the official Japanese (JP) Diet proceedings archive (国会会議録, sourced from the National Diet Library), filterable by date range, house, committee, and speaker. Returns meeting metadata and matching snippets. Dynamic pricing: a base fee plus a small per-result fee. Use to find when and where a topic was debated.

Search current Japanese (JP) National Diet members by name (kanji, kana, or romaji), party, or constituency. Returns matching members with their canonical ids for use with GET /members/:id. Use to resolve a politician name to a record.

List the possible readings of a Japanese (JP) name — person, company, or place — each with a probability, since names like 山崎 (やまざき / やまさき) are ambiguous without context. Returns hiragana, katakana, and romaji per candidate. Use for CRM name-matching, furigana fields, and call-list preparation.

Reconcile a company name (+ optional address) against the official Japanese (JP) corporate registry — the 名寄せ / KYC endpoint. Returns ranked candidate 法人番号 with a 0-1 confidence score, handling 株式会社 / (株) / ㈱ spelling variation and matching Japanese or English names. A dissolved corporation is never reported as `verified` even on an exact name match — check `best.corporation.status`. Use it to confirm a vendor, customer, or invoice counterparty.

Classify Japanese (JP) text into person_name / company_name / place_name / general / mixed.

Convert kanji-mixed Japanese (JP) text to hiragana, katakana, or romaji (Hepburn/Nippon/Passport), with a per-token breakdown of surface form, reading, and part-of-speech. Backed by the kuromoji morphological analyzer. Use to generate ruby readings, build search indexes, or preprocess text for speech synthesis.

Normalize a Japanese (JP) address into clean prefecture / city / town / chome-banchi components. Fixes fullwidth/halfwidth digits, old-form kanji, and chome-banchi notation variants, and resolves the 7-digit postal code. Returns a 0-1 confidence score so agents can flag low-quality input. Use to deduplicate, validate, or canonicalize addresses before storage or comparison.

Fuzzy-search Japanese (JP) train stations by name — accepts kanji, kana, or romaji and tolerates the 駅/station suffix. Returns matching stations with their operators and lines. Use to resolve a station name to a canonical record.

Dataset metadata for this Japanese (JP) corporate-number API — how many corporations are loaded and which prefectures are covered.

Real-time delay and operational status for a Japanese (JP) train station — per-line status (normal / delayed / suspended), estimated delay minutes, and cause — plus a one-line summary in English and Japanese. Sourced live from ODPT. Use to answer 'is my train delayed' for a station.

Get the Japanese (JP) weather forecast for a region — today's conditions, near-term outlook, and a 7-day weekly forecast with temperatures and precipitation probability. Sourced live from 気象庁 (Japan Meteorological Agency / JMA). Accepts a JMA office code or a Japanese/English region name.

Look up one Japanese (JP) company by its 13-digit corporate number (法人番号) — official trade name (Japanese and registered English), registered address, postal code, corporation kind, and lifecycle status. `status` is "active" or "closed"; a closed record carries the closure cause/date and the successor's 法人番号 after a merger. Sourced from the 国税庁 (National Tax Agency) corporate-number public dataset. The leading check digit is validated before lookup.

Classify a Japanese (JP) calendar date as a public holiday, weekend, or business day. Backed by the official 内閣府 (Cabinet Office) holiday record.

Look up Japanese (JP) address candidates for a 7-digit postal code (郵便番号), backed by the official Japan Post KEN_ALL dataset. One postal code can map to several towns; all candidates are returned with kana readings. Use for address autofill and postal-code validation.
