Structured Japanese municipal grants & subsidies data
Normalizes grant and subsidy listings from 1,600+ Japanese municipalities into one searchable JSON API, each record linking back to the original government page. This search returns matching grants with issuer, prefecture, and eligibility. Currently free; an x402/USDC rail exists for future paid features.
