Where EDINET DB is strong
Where the other service is the better fit. Depending on your use case, choosing it may be the sensible option.
- thumb_upPublic company pages (it states 3,808 listed and 898 delisted companies) make it usable as a company database for people to read. ZENITH Code is an API and has no per-company pages. To browse Japanese stocks company by company, you can also use Stock Club (https://stock-club.net), run by the same company.
- thumb_upFeatures ZENITH Code does not have: section search across IR documents (PDF), earnings-call Q&A search and a financial-health score (0–100).
- thumb_upIt allows publishing in your own apps and services from its individual plans (from ¥2,480) with attribution. Displaying data in your service with ZENITH Code requires the Business plan.
- thumb_upBecause calls are not weighted, it gives more volume at the same price when you mostly fetch what ZENITH Code weights at 10 tokens, such as every line item, XBRL facts or annual-report text.
What ZENITH Code offers
- check_circleDaily stock prices, market cap, PER, PBR and dividend yield recalculated at each close (exchange data), and market-wide aggregates such as gainers, losers, turnover rankings and new highs and lows.
- check_circleEarnings summaries are reflected around 16:30 (JST) on the release day. After the annual report is filed the values are replaced with final figures, and provenance shows which document each value comes from.
- check_circleFull line-item hierarchies, XBRL facts, dividend, split and dividend-change events, shareholder benefits and dividend policies, and economic data (FRED); Pro and above also get all-symbol bulk downloads.
- check_circleEach of the 72 MCP tools maps to one REST endpoint at the same token cost. Organization use and display in your service start at a flat Business ¥43,780 (incl. tax).
Commercial use and display rights
EDINET DB states that data retrieved through its API may be published in your own apps and services on every individual plan, with attribution. Sharing a key among several people, internal systems or AI agents requires a Business or Enterprise contract, and bulk redistribution or storing the data in third-party databases needs a separate agreement.
With ZENITH Code, your own research and your own AI agents are allowed on every plan; display in your service and sharing within an organization require the Business plan or higher. Stock prices themselves and TDnet documents themselves are exchange data and cannot be shown to third parties on any plan.
