TSR + TDB Japan Bankruptcy News Aggregator

Aggregates daily bankruptcy and corporate-distress news from Tokyo Shoko Research (TSR) and Teikoku Databank (TDB) — Japan's two dominant commercial credit bureaus. Surfaces insolvency events 3–5 days ahead of the official Kanpou gazette with debt amounts, industry codes, causes, and court filings.

What it does

The actor pulls from two independent sources in a single run:

  • TSR (tsr-net.co.jp) — discovers article URLs from a sitemap, then fetches each detail page. Extracts company name, prefecture, industry, insolvency procedure, debt tag, TSR code, and corporate number (法人番号) from structured HTML tags.
  • TDB (tdb.co.jp) — parses the window.__remixContext JSON blob embedded in the listing page. The blob contains up to 100 fully structured posts inline — no pagination needed. Extracts address, industry, procedure type, debt amount, court name, trustee, and representative name.

Both sources are filtered to the maxItems limit. Set sources to ["tsr"] or ["tdb"] to restrict to one source.

Input

Parameter Type Default Description
maxItems integer 50 Maximum records to return (0 = unlimited)
sources array [] Which sources to include (tsr, tdb). Leave empty for both.

Usage examples

Scrape both sources, limit 50 records:

{
  "maxItems": 50,
  "sources": []
}

TDB only, 10 records:

{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "sources": ["tdb"]
}

TSR only, unlimited:

{
  "maxItems": 0,
  "sources": ["tsr"]
}

Notes

  • TSR debt amount tags on listing pages (e.g. "負債10億円以上") are coarse ranges; the precise figure is parsed from the article body where available.
  • TDB provides up to 100 recent posts per run. TSR sitemap covers several thousand articles; use maxItems to cap TSR coverage.
  • Both sites serve server-rendered HTML with no login or bot challenge. No proxy is required.
  • Debt amounts are normalised to integer JPY, handling full-width Japanese digits and 億/万 unit combinations.
