- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/axioradev/apis/axiora-api/docs/v1/investors/search/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Successful Response

- ListResponseInvestorSearchResult
  - `data` InvestorSearchResult[], required: Array of result objects.
    - `edinet_code` string, nullable: The investor's own EDINET code. Null when the investor has none, which is the case for a group resolved across several filers. Use filer_code to look the investor up.
    - `filer_code` string, nullable: Stable identifier for the investor. Pass it to /investors/{code}/positions. It may differ from edinet_code; both identifiers reach the same investor when their identity is resolved.
    - `name_jp` string, nullable
    - `name_en` string, nullable
    - `former_names` HolderFormerNameOut[]: Names this holder filed large-shareholding reports under other than name_jp (its latest report's name among them when name_jp is its official registered name), newest first, each bounded by the reports that carry it
      - `name_jp` string, required: A name the holder filed under before its current one
      - `first_base_date` string, date, nullable: Reporting-obligation date (報告義務発生日) of the first served report under this name
      - `last_base_date` string, date, nullable: Reporting-obligation date of the last served report under this name
