Nikkei Japanese Business News Dataset — Four Times a Day

Nikkei is Japan's leading business newspaper, and this file captures every article on nikkei.com, four times a day — 14 columns covering headline, Japanese article text, publication time to the second, permalink, Nikkei's article ID and images.

It is Japan's corporate and market record as it happens: 45 articles in about four hours in the supplied sample — results from Sundrug and MatsukiyoCocokara, SK Hynix's record buyback, the yen after intervention, and the UAE halting trade with Iran.

This data is available for download immediately after purchase

The file already exists, because this pipeline runs four times a day whether you buy it or not. Most vendors start collecting after you order — which is why they quote a lead time. Here the most recent file is in your account within minutes of payment, with an API key issued at the same time.

What you get, in plain terms

Four things. The Japanese-language source global investors rely on for Japan, captured every six hours.

Earnings and market data as published

Company results, commodity closes and daily lending-fee tables arrive as articles, the same afternoon the market moves.

Japanese text, UTF-8

Titles and bodies in Japanese as published — a median of 611 characters, up to 4,385 — ready for Japanese NLP or translation.

Nikkei's own article ID

article_id is Nikkei's permanent identifier, such as “DGXZQOUC0641R006082026000000”, so rows join to any other Nikkei reference.

However you want it

Direct download, REST API, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Snowflake or SFTP. The API key comes with the dataset.

Fields included in this dataset

All 14 columns, in the exact order they appear in the file — taken straight from the sample, not from a brochure. The free sample ships with a data dictionary giving an example value for each one.

Sample rows from the real file

Real rows from the sample file, not an illustration. The supplied sample has 45 articles with all 14 columns.

Sample is free, no signup and no card. Check the fields before you buy — files are not refundable once delivered.

Coverage

Captured four times a day across nikkei.com. One row is one article, identified by Nikkei's article_id and permalink, with the publication time to the second.

We can extend this dataset beyond the standard 14 columns — an English translation and TSE ticker tags are the most requested additions.

“Japanese results hit Nikkei before the English wires. Four times a day in Japanese, with the timestamp, is exactly what our Japan desk needed.”

What people use this dataset for

Media monitoring and PR

Track every mention of your company, executives and competitors the day it is published.

Investment and risk teams

Feed timestamped headlines and article text into event studies, sentiment and alerting models.

Market and policy intelligence

Follow a sector, a country or a regulator through the outlet its decision-makers read.

Data and AI teams

Build search, retrieval and evaluation sets on clean, structured article text with full provenance.

No procurement cycle. Card payment, invoice on the spot. Most buyers are querying data the same afternoon.
Maintenance is ours. When Nikkei changes its layout, the file you receive does not change shape.
Analysis-ready. Loads straight into Excel, Power BI, Tableau, BigQuery or a pandas notebook.
Cancel whenever. The feed runs to the end of the period you paid for, then stops. No notice, no fee.

About Nikkei news data

Nikkei — Nihon Keizai Shimbun — is Japan's leading business daily and owner of the Nikkei stock index. Its Japanese-language site is the primary source for Japanese corporate news, often hours ahead of English-language coverage.

Four hours of Nikkei

Namura Shipbuilding building a large dock in Saga, the first new one in Japan since 2017; the euro recovering against the yen after coordinated intervention; SK Hynix planning a ¥4.5 trillion buyback; construction stocks at a year-to-date low; results from Chugin Financial, Sundrug and a record profit at MatsukiyoCocokara; and the UAE suspending trade and financial links with Iran.

Market data in article form

Some of Nikkei's most useful items are structured briefs: the daily reverse lending-fee table, commodity closes at 15:45 with gold and crude, and counts of falling stocks on the Prime market. They arrive as articles in the same file, timestamped to the second.

Two things to plan for

author_name is empty on every row because Nikkei does not print bylines online, and media_title repeats the headline on 43 of 45 rows. Column names are lower-case with underscores, so map them if you combine sources. Member-only stories carry the text Nikkei shows publicly.

Is collecting this data legal?

We collect only publicly accessible pages, respect robots.txt and platform terms, and align with GDPR and CCPA — the only personal data in the file is the public byline a publisher prints. Article text remains the publisher's copyright: the standard licence covers internal analysis such as monitoring, research and signal extraction, not republishing. Each row carries its permalink and publication time as documented provenance, so your legal team can review the source before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — titles and bodies arrive in Japanese as published, UTF-8 encoded. An English translation is available on a custom feed.
Nikkei does not show bylines on its online articles, so the column is empty on every sampled row. It is kept so the file shares one schema with our other news feeds.
The source is re-captured every six hours and each run adds the articles published since the last one. You get four incremental files a day — or one rolling file through the API — so new articles reach you within hours, not the next morning.
Immediately. The pipeline runs on its schedule whether you buy it or not, so the current file is in your account within minutes, with an API key. Most vendors start collecting after you order, which is why they quote a lead time.
Yes. Real rows with every field and a data dictionary, no signup and no card. Check the fields against your own requirement before you buy — it takes five minutes and prevents almost every problem we see.
Excel and CSV are included, UTF-8 encoded so Japanese, Turkish, Spanish and other non-English text survives intact. JSON and Parquet are available on request at no extra cost — JSON is usually the better fit for long text.
Yes, and the key comes with the dataset at no extra charge. It is unmetered for the data you have bought, with a fair-use rate limit documented in the API reference.
Yes. Every row carries its permalink, and the section is part of it — markets, politics, industry and so on. Tell us which sections or keywords you need and we will price a narrower file.
Data files are not refundable once delivered, which is why the sample matters. One exception: if a delivered file does not match the field list on this page, that is our error and we fix it or refund that month.
Any time from your account. The feed keeps running until the end of the period you have paid for, then stops. No notice period and no cancellation fee.
We email you 30 days before any field is added, renamed or removed, and we never remove one inside a period you have already paid for.
The last 30 days are included. Beyond that we hold Nikkei articles from February 2025 onwards. Ask and we will confirm exactly what exists for the topics you care about.
Internal use across your whole organisation with unlimited seats. Article text stays the publisher's copyright, so republishing it, reselling the data or training a model you sell needs separate rights — tell us what you have in mind.
Of course, though nothing on this page requires it. If you would rather have a call before buying, use the contact form and ask for the datasets team.
