📊 Japan TDnet — Tokyo Stock Exchange Timely Disclosure Tracker

Real-time same-day issuer disclosures from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. TDnet (適時開示情報伝達システム / Timely Disclosure Network) is the official conduit through which every TSE Prime, Standard, and Growth listed company is mandated under Securities Listing Regulations Rule 402 to publish tender offers, earnings revisions, M&A announcements, dividend changes, share buybacks, and governance reports — within minutes of board approval.

This actor turns TDnet's server-rendered HTML feed into clean structured JSON: 4-digit securities code, Japanese company name, disclosure timestamp, classified disclosure type (tender offer / earnings / M&A / governance / dividend / buyback), and the PDF link to the source document. Built for event-driven Japan-focused funds, M&A arb desks, sell-side analysts, and corporate-governance research teams who need TDnet as a same-day machine-readable feed — not a manual portal.

🎯 Use cases

Event-driven Japan equity trading

Run a 06:00 JST daily sweep filtered to disclosure_type=tender_offer to catch every TOB (公開買付け) announcement before the market opens. M&A arb desks at Citadel, Millennium, and Tokio-based long/short shops use this exact pattern.

M&A monitoring + activist watchlists

Filter on M&A to catch every 合併 (merger), 株式交換 (share exchange), and 株式譲渡 (share transfer) disclosure. Cross-reference against your watchlist of activist targets to spot defensive corporate actions early.

Corporate governance research

Filter on governance to capture every 株主総会 (AGM/EGM) notice, コーポレートガバナンス報告書 (CG report) update, and 役員人事 (director appointment). Powers ESG funds, proxy advisors, and stewardship teams covering Japan.

Retail / individual investor disclosure tracking

Filter by ticker_filter to follow a single issuer's TDnet feed in machine-readable form — every disclosure, every day, classified and PDF-linked. Drop straight into a Slack alert via n8n or Zapier.

MCP / agent integration

This actor exposes a deterministic schema and a single high-leverage tool (fetch_tdnet_disclosures) — wire it into any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, your in-house Japan research stack) and your assistant can answer questions like "any tender-offer announcements on Toyota suppliers this week?" with structured live data instead of guesswork.

⚖️ Legal & data source notes

• Data source: TDnet (適時開示情報伝達システム), operated by Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (a JPX subsidiary). TDnet is the official conduit mandated under TSE Securities Listing Regulations Rule 402 — issuer announcements are public by statutory design.
• No PII: TDnet disclosures are issuer-level corporate announcements; no natural-person personal data is extracted.
• Polite-bot identification: every request carries User-Agent: NexGenDataBot/1.0 (+https://thenextgennexus.com/bot; contact: hello@thenextgennexus.com) and honors TDnet's Cache-Control: no-cache header. Pacing is capped at ~1 request every 3 seconds with throttled per-date sweeps to stay well within TSE's stated open-data norms.
• Retention window: TDnet keeps the most recent ~31 days of disclosures online; older dates may return 404. For deeper historical coverage, pair with EDINET (filing-day) which retains 5+ years — see Related Actors below.
• Same-day vs filing-day: TDnet = same-day issuer announcement (event-trader feed); EDINET = filing-day full regulatory text (compliance / fundamentals feed). They cover overlapping but distinct moments in the disclosure lifecycle.

❓ FAQ

Q: How is this different from EDINET? A: EDINET (Electronic Disclosure for Investors' NETwork) is Japan's filing-day regulatory portal — full audited filings (有価証券報告書, 四半期報告書) submitted to the FSA. TDnet is the same-day issuer announcement portal — operated by TSE itself, where companies post material-event news (tender offers, earnings, dividends, M&A) within minutes of board approval. Event-driven traders need TDnet; compliance / fundamentals research needs EDINET. Most institutional Japan desks use both.

Q: Why is the securities code different on TDnet (5 digits) vs Yahoo Finance Japan / Bloomberg (4 digits)? A: TDnet uses TSE's internal 5-digit code (the standard 4-digit ticker plus a trailing 0). The actor strips that trailing zero so securities_code matches what you'd put into Bloomberg as 7203 JT Equity or Yahoo Japan as 7203.T. The original 5-digit code is preserved in securities_code_internal_5digit for round-trip integrity.

Q: Why does disclosure_title_english_if_known come back null on most rows? A: TDnet only publishes Japanese titles by default. A small subset of large-cap issuers (typically PCT-active multinationals like Toyota or Sony) post bilingual disclosures with both titles. For automated translation, pipe disclosure_title through DeepL or Google Cloud Translation — both handle TDnet's domain vocabulary well.

Q: How is disclosure_type classified? A: A Japanese-keyword regex matches the title against ~80 known disclosure-type keywords (公開買付け → tender_offer, 決算短信 → earnings, 合併 → M&A, 株主総会 → governance, 配当 → dividend, 自己株式取得 → buyback). Multi-class titles take the highest-priority match (tender_offer > M&A > earnings > governance > dividend > buyback > material_event > other).

Q: Why are weekends + Japanese exchange holidays returning zero rows? A: TDnet only operates on TSE business days. The actor follows that calendar naturally — passing a weekend range exits cleanly with 0 results (no error, no crash, no charge beyond apify-actor-start).

Pair these public NexGenData actors with the TDnet feed for a complete Japan + APAC disclosure stack:

• Japan EDINET Insider Filings — Japan's filing-day regulatory feed (有価証券報告書, 四半期報告書, 大量保有報告書). Pair with TDnet for full lifecycle coverage: TDnet = same-day announcement; EDINET = filing-day full text.
• TSE Japan Stock Screener — TSE Prime/Standard/Growth listed-company screener (price, market cap, sector). Cross-reference TDnet disclosures against your screened watchlist.
• SGX Company Announcements — Singapore Exchange's equivalent timely disclosure feed. Run both together for Japan + Singapore cross-listed coverage (Olam, Yangzijiang, etc.).
• SEC Form 8-K Material Events Scraper — US-equivalent same-day material-event disclosures. For ADR-listed Japanese issuers (Sony, Honda, Toyota), TDnet 8-K cross-reference catches translation drift early.
