🇯🇵Weather & Geospatial in Japan

Weather & Geospatial in Japan — 7 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 64 indexed APIs.

4 of the 7 publish at least one machine-readable API; 3 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: 4 minimal, 1 developing, 1 thin, and 1 emerging.

Leading by rating: Agri Info Design, reversegeojp-com, JAXA, Arkedgespace, City Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Tourism (MLIT), JMA, and 1 more.

Country membership reads a tag, a stated headquarters or a stated nationality. A provider lands in Japan when one of its own top-level tags names the country, when its own description states a headquarters that names the country or one of its cities, or when it describes itself by nationality (“a French company”; roadmap#542, #719). Region words (“Latin American”), language uses (“French-speaking”) and a city named outside a headquarters statement are not counted, so this cell is a floor, not a census.
