Show newly incorporated Japanese companies on your site with a shortcode.

== Description ==

Adds the `[jp_new_companies]` shortcode. It lists companies newly registered in Japan (name, entity type in English, address, date), from the official corporate number registry.

Examples:

* `[jp_new_companies]` — latest 20 companies
* `[jp_new_companies prefecture="13" limit="50"]` — Tokyo, up to 50 (JIS prefecture code)

= Requires an external service =

This plugin sends requests to the Apify API (https://api.apify.com) to run the "Japan New Company Monitor" Actor (https://apify.com/jp_registry_data/japan-new-company-monitor). **You need your own Apify account and API token.** The Actor is billed per result by Apify (see the Actor page); the plugin caches results for 24 hours and limits each list to 100 rows.

Data sent to Apify: your API token and the shortcode filters (prefecture, limit). No visitor data is sent.
