J-Quants offers tiered market data access; XBRL parsing needed for deep analysis

The J-Quants product from Japan Exchange Group offers tiered access to Japanese market data, with a generous free plan suitable for basic company screening and price history retrieval. However, for agents requiring detailed financial statements like balance sheets, profit and loss statements, or dividend data, a premium subscription is necessary. For agents needing granular, element-level XBRL data from filings, a separate solution that parses EDINET XBRL and TDnet disclosures is required, offering a more detailed view than J-Quants provides.
