on flow LLC (Headquarters: Machida City, Tokyo; Representative Partner: Hirofumi Yamamoto), which operates the internet connection review and comparison service "Minna no Kaisen Kuchikomi (Minkuchi)" (https://review.minsoku.net/), has begun offering the "Internet Connection Review Data API" starting April 23, 2026. This API allows users to retrieve approved review data posted on the site.

We will provide over 5,500 internet connection reviews free of charge, targeting telecom-related web media operators and telecom service providers. Real user feedback, approved through a strict screening process, can be utilized for various business improvements.

Background and Challenges

Fixed-line connections have long contract periods and high switching costs, leading consumers to carefully consider reviews before signing a contract. A survey we conducted in December 2025 targeting 300 people nationwide also revealed a strong demand for information based on actual experiences.

On the other hand, while telecom operators have a need to understand the multifaceted evaluations of their own and competing services, the available public data is limited.

Since its launch in December 2024, "Minna no Kaisen Kuchikomi" has published over 5,500 reviews that have passed our proprietary screening process. We have decided to provide this data as an API so that it can be used for business improvements and article production.

- Response formats support both JSON (easy to handle programmatically) and CSV (suitable for Excel, with Japanese headers, and garbled text countermeasures applied).
- Filtering search is possible by line name, line type, prefecture, overall rating, posting date and time, etc.
