gBizINFO Japan Company Profile Scraper

Full company profiles for Japanese corporations from gBizINFO (Gビズインフォ), the open corporate data portal of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). One run turns a list of 13-digit corporate numbers into structured records with:

• name, kana, English name, head-office address
• capital, number of employees (with the data source, for example EDINET), industry, business summary, website
• 5 years of financial indicators from securities reports (EDINET): sales, ordinary income, net income, capital, net assets, total assets and more
• government subsidies and grants received
• public procurement contracts won (date, project, amount, ministry)
• certifications and notifications (DX認定, くるみん, えるぼし and so on)
• patent, design and trademark counts
• workplace data from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (average tenure, share of female workers and more)

gBizINFO content is published under rules compatible with CC BY 4.0, and commercial use is allowed with attribution.

What can you use it for?

• Market entry and partner search in Japan: screen companies by size, industry, financials and government work.
• B2G sales: see who wins public procurement contracts and subsidies in your field.
• Credit and supplier checks: combine financial history, certifications and workplace data.
• Data enrichment: add Japanese firmographics to your CRM by corporate number.

Data and privacy

• No personal data: representative names (代表者名) and major-shareholder names (大株主, which can be private persons) are deliberately not output.
• Source: gBizINFO (METI). Cite the source as in the attribution field when you publish the data and state if you edited it. This Actor is not provided or endorsed by METI.
• Requests are sequential and slow on purpose (about 2 per second).

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No, not for lookups by corporate number. Name search uses the official REST API v2 and needs a free token.

How fresh is the data? gBizINFO updates its sources daily or periodically (EDINET daily, MHLW workplace data daily, procurement and subsidies when ministries publish).
