The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Japan Company Lookup & KYB Report Look up any of Japan's **5.78 million registered corporations** against the official National Tax Agency (国税庁) corporate-number registry — by 13-digit corporate number (法人番号) or by company name, in Japanese or English. ### What you get **Full KYB report** (default) — everything for counterparty due diligence in one run: - the authoritative registry record (name, address, postal code, corporate kind, English renderings) - corporate-number check-digit validation - lifecycle **status** (`active` / `closed`), with closure cause and successor corporate number after mergers - **name readings** — official カナ plus a romaji transliteration - **risk flags** — `REGISTRY_CLOSED`, `HAS_SUCCESSOR`, `RECENTLY_REGISTERED`, `RECENT_REGISTRY_CHANGE`, `INCOMPLETE_ADDRESS` - a one-line English summary and the dataset vintage (`data_as_of`) **Lookup mode** (`fullReport: false`) — the raw registry record by number, or name-to-number matching with a 0-1 confidence score. ### Example input ```json { "companyName": "トヨタ自動車株式会社", "prefecture": "愛知県", "fullReport": true } ```` ### Use cases Supplier onboarding & KYB, invoice fraud screening, sales-lead enrichment for the Japanese market, CRM deduplication (名寄せ), compliance checks before payments.

Powered by the [agentic-jp.com](https://agentic-jp.com) Japan Data APIs. # Actor input Schema ## `corporateNumber` (type: `string`): 13-digit Japanese corporate number. Provide this OR a company name. ## `companyName` (type: `string`): Trade name in Japanese or English (e.g. トヨタ自動車株式会社). Used when the corporate number is unknown — resolved against the registry with a confidence score. ## `prefecture` (type: `string`): Optional prefecture (e.g. 東京都 or Tokyo) to narrow name matching. ## `fullReport` (type: `boolean`): When on, returns the complete due-diligence report: lifecycle status, kana + romaji name readings, machine-actionable risk flags, English summary, and dataset vintage. When off, returns the raw registry record (cheaper). ## Actor input object example ```json { "corporateNumber": "7000012050002", "fullReport": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "corporateNumber": "7000012050002" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("mameta/japan-company-kyb").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
