Key changes include structured address parsing, activity codes correctly mapped to `code`, clearer shareholder and representative categorisation, and a new `totalCapital` summary. ### Key points * **Lite Profile**: Structured `address` parsing (`type`, `rawAddressLines`, `streetNumber`, `streetName`, `municipality`, `region`, `isoCode`), new `registrationDate`, structured `aliases`, and normalised `registrationAuthority` * **Enhanced Profile**: New `totalCapital`, `englishName`, `registrationDate`, structured `aliases`, and address `type` / `isoCode`. Activities are now mapped to `code`, shareholder corporations are typed `"Corporation"` where defined at the registry, and representatives are now correctly split into `individuals` and `corporations`. ## Lite profile changes The Lite Profile response has been improved with structured address parsing and a new registration date. **Before:** ```json theme={null} { "data": { "address": { "identifier": "02aAjgVQb8Wdxoj4YJx7YvESmNRupl6OUvdsIHZd_SI", "fullAddress": "東京都板橋区蓮沼町７５番１号" }, "companyNumber": "4011401004725", "companyName": "株式会社トプコン", "englishName": "Topcon Corporation", "foundationDate": { "original": "1932-09-01", "normalized": "1932-09-01" }, "legalStatus": { "original": "営業中", "normalized": "Active" }, "registrationAuthority": "Houjin Bangou, National Tax Agency", "aliases": [ { "name": "とぷこん" } ] } } ``` **After:** ```json theme={null} { "data": { "address": { "identifier": "JP-L7P3bjpXCRgzw3lTNBGw9pdHTaC0k_dhJz_kc1RkWfE", "type": "Registered Address", "fullAddress": "75-1 Hasunuma-cho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo", "rawAddressLines": [ "75-1 Hasunuma-cho", "Itabashi-ku", "Tokyo" ], "streetNumber": "75-1", "streetName": "Hasunuma-cho", "municipality": "Itabashi-ku", "region": "Tokyo", "country": "Japan", "isoCode": "JP" }, "companyNumber": "4011401004725", "companyName": "株式会社トプコン", "englishName": "Topcon Corporation", "foundationDate": { "original": "1932-09-01", "normalized": "1932-09-01" }, "registrationDate": { "original": "1932-09-01", "normalized": "1932-09-01" }, "legalStatus": { "original": "Active", "normalized": "Active" }, "registrationAuthority": "National Tax Agency Japan", "aliases": [ { "name": "トプコン", "type": "Kana" } ] } } ``` ### Key changes #### Address The `address` object now includes structured fields: | Field | Status | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | `type` | New — `"Registered Address"` | | `rawAddressLines` | New — array of original address components | | `streetNumber` | New | | `streetName` | New | | `municipality` | New | | `region` | New | | `isoCode` | New — `"JP"` | | `fullAddress` | Improved formatting | #### Other improvements * **`registrationDate`**: New — now populated with the company's registration date * **`aliases`**: Now contains structured objects with a `type` (e.g., `"Kana"`) ## Enhanced profile changes The Enhanced Profile has been substantially enriched with a capital summary, clearer representative categorisation, structured aliases, and improved activity and shareholder data. **Before:** ```json theme={null} { "data": { "activities": [ { "description": "110", "type": "Primary" } ], "addresses": [ { "identifier": "FfIZAeSTSzw-xlJSEHspUIY2cE290wvEufxLl6lPcdY", "fullAddress": "東京都板橋区蓮沼町７５番１号", "country": "Japan" } ], "capital": [ { "totalNominalValue": 16891000000.0, "shareholdings": [ { "percentage": "2.21", "shareholders": { "corporations": [ { "type": "Other", "name": "JPモルガン証券株式会社" } ] } }, { "percentage": "14.12", "shareholders": { "corporations": [ { "type": "Other", "name": "日本マスタートラスト信託銀行株式会社(信託口)" } ] } } ] } ], "representatives": { "corporations": [ { "registeredAddress": {}, "type": "Corporation", "name": "代表取締役社長 CEO　江藤 隆志" } ] }, "identifiers": { "primaryRegistrationNumber": "4011401004725" }, "companyName": "株式会社トプコン", "registrationAuthority": "Houjin Bangou, National Tax Agency", "foundationDate": { "original": "1932-09-01", "normalized": "1932-09-01" }, "status": { "original": "営業中", "normalized": "Active" }, "links": { "document": "********", "data": "********" } } } ``` **After:** ```json theme={null} { "data": { "activities": [ { "code": "110" } ], "addresses": [ { "identifier": "JP-v5i5MHfm9ImQTwseqpc-wpqZF3egHRvSI6OzKiclSlM", "type": "Registered Address", "fullAddress": "75-1 Hasunuma-cho, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo", "country": "Japan", "isoCode": "JP" } ], "capital": [ { "totalNominalValue": 16891000000, "shareholdings": [ { "percentage": "2.21", "shareholders": { "corporations": [ { "type": "Corporation", "name": "J.P.
