Lookup, validation and change detection for Japan’s invoice-issuer and corporate-number registers.
We ingest and normalise what the National Tax Agency publishes. The published data itself is free to obtain — what Daichodo sells is an API that answers whatever the government site is doing, the accumulated history of every diff, and a notification at the moment something changes.
