🇯🇵Government & Public Sector in Japan

7 government & public sector providers in Japan, publishing 6 APIs.

7 providers 6 published APIs 6 indexed documents

Government & Public Sector in Japan — 7 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 6 indexed APIs.

6 of the 7 publish at least one machine-readable API; 1 publish nothing indexed at all. That split is the first thing worth reading here — a vertical can be well represented in a market and still have almost no programmable surface.

By Kin Score band: 7 emerging.

Leading by rating: BODIK ODCS, DATA GO JP, e-Gov Data Catalog, Gifu Prefecture Open Data, Tokyo Metropolitan Open Data, Yokohama City Open Data, and 1 more.

Country membership reads a tag or a stated headquarters. A provider lands in Japan when one of its own top-level tags names the country, or when its own description states a headquarters that names the country or one of its cities (roadmap#542, #719). A description that calls a company by its nationality, or names a city in a phrase that is not a headquarters statement, is not counted, so this cell is a floor, not a census.

This page is the intersection of two independently computed cohorts: Japan and Government & Public Sector. A provider appears here only when it is already a member of both. Japan membership is matched on tag, stated HQ, so this is a floor rather than a census — coverage gaps show up here as small numbers, not as absent pages.
