Changelog

Shipped features and improvements, newest first.

2026-08-10

  • Extended: typed top-10 shareholder registers now reach back to fiscal 2018 across the full listed universe (about 131,000 new holder rows from 13,113 historical annual reports), so decade-long register history and year-over-year holder changes are queryable for nearly every company.
  • Every new row was verified against its source filing; values that could not be verified are stored as NULL, never guessed.

2026-07-20

  • New: get_briefing teaches your AI the record's coverage windows and query rules in one call.
  • New: get_shareholder_register (top-10 register with year-over-year changes) and get_filings (a company's own filings, by type).
  • New in SQL: the register tables, a canonical holder view, and the JPX event calendar.
  • Merged: get_balance_sheet into get_financials, which now includes the latest balance sheet.
  • Renamed: get_shareholders to get_large_holders, get_ownership_timeline to get_large_holder_timeline.
  • Fixed: 5%+ holder lists show one row per holder across name-width variants; joint rows state the group total.
  • Fixed: oversized responses shrink to fit and set a truncated flag.
  • Docs: tools grouped into four families, service limits stated, worked example added.

2026-07-14

  • Related-party data covers all 36,599 annual reports; unparseable amounts stay null with the original text preserved.
