About this comparison
Twelve Data information comes from its public pages (pricing, exchange list and the Tokyo Stock Exchange page) as of October 23, 2026, and has not been verified by us. Where something is not in its public documentation we say "not stated" rather than claiming it is unavailable. Its pricing page shows two figures for the same plan (for example Pro "From $99" and "$229"); this table uses the "from" (lowest) figure.
If anything here is wrong or out of date, please let us know at contact@zenithcode.net. We will check and correct it.
In short
Twelve Data gives you stocks, ETFs, FX and crypto across 70+ global markets through one API. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is in its exchange list, and its Tokyo page shows a fundamentals endpoint group. The number of Tokyo symbols, price delay, and the items and periods of financials are not stated in its public documentation.
ZENITH Code is an API for Japanese stocks only. Built from the original TDnet and EDINET filings, it parses earnings releases on the day and returns every annual-report line item in the filed hierarchy, with Japanese and English line-item names, plus Japan-specific data such as shareholder perks and dividend policies under the same API key.
