## 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.
 Apify terms: https://docs.apify.com/legal/general-terms-
and-conditions — Privacy policy: https://docs.apify.com/legal/privacy-policy
