JPX (Japan Exchange Group)

JPX (Japan Exchange Group) operates the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Osaka Exchange, and Tokyo Commodity Exchange, and sells Japanese market data through its JPX Market Innovation & Research arm. Its developer-facing product is the J-Quants API - a self-serve, subscription REST API (Free/Light/Standard/Premium plans, x-api-key auth, base https://api.jquants.com/v2) delivering historical equities OHLCV/minute/tick bars, indices, derivatives, financial statements, short-selling and margin data, EDINET filings, and TDnet disclosures, plus bulk CSV download, an MCP server, and a CLI - licensed to individual investors only. Institutional real-time data (FLEX Standard and FLEX MBO order-book feeds) and corporate historical data (J-Quants Pro via API/SFTP/Snowflake, J-Quants DataCube) are sales-gated services.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles JPX (Japan Exchange Group) the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 8 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — JPX (Japan Exchange Group) scores 51.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 40/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile JPX (Japan Exchange Group)

APIs 8

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
