IoT & Connected Devices in Japan & Korea

18 iot & connected devices providers across Japan & Korea, publishing 29 APIs.

18 providers 29 published APIs 145 indexed documents

IoT & Connected Devices across Japan & Korea — 18 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 29 indexed APIs.

7 of the 18 publish at least one machine-readable API; 11 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: 9 minimal, 3 thin, 3 emerging, 2 developing, and 1 strong.

Leading by rating: Soracom, Hyundai, Agri Info Design, Samsung, Samsung SmartThings, Toyota, and 12 more.

Region membership is derived from three explicit signals — a provider tag, a provider-name pattern, or a stated headquarters in the provider’s own description. This is a map of stated headquarters, not of markets served.

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