-Issues that fall into none of the categories
  • The scale category indicates the TOPIX size-based index category.
  • We do not provide the effective date of a change to this field itself. However, the Date (information effective date) in the response is the applicable date, so you can retrieve the scale category as of any point in time by specifying date.

About TOPIX Small 1

  • The scale categories TOPIX Small 1 and TOPIX Small 2 have existed since before 2018 (a scale category and an index are different concepts).
  • The scale category code in this API is determined using index codes rather than the scale category itself. Specifically, constituents of the TOPIX Small 500 index are set to TOPIX Small 1, and the other TOPIX Small constituents are set to TOPIX Small 2 (the constituents of the TOPIX Small 500 index are identical to the issues classified as TOPIX Small 1 by scale category).
  • Because calculation of the TOPIX Small 500 index started with a base date of August 31, 2018, no constituent data exists for dates before that. Therefore, for dates before August 31, 2018, issues that belong to TOPIX Small 1 by scale category are returned as TOPIX Small 2. TOPIX Small 1 for that period cannot be retrieved from this API.
