What data does this API return?
Japanese corporate information linked to the corporate number — name, address, financials, subsidies and certifications.
Can this API be called directly from a browser?
Not easily — key/registration-based authentication requires a server-side call and is not suitable for frontend code visible to visitors (which is why there is no live "Try it" button here).
