# 1gateway Korea Export Pulse

> 1gateway Korea Export Pulse is a paid API for AI agents from 1gateway.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.0045/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Returns a structured one-call snapshot of South Korea's latest export cycle, including headline YoY growth, semiconductor share, item/market leaders and laggards, 12 months of history, and integrated-circuit (HS 8542) detail.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 1gateway-korea-export-pulse-da68da1e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest South Korea export pulse — I need the headline YoY growth, semiconductor share, strongest and weakest item and market, and the 3-month average trend for my macro report.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, pre-aggregated South Korea export snapshot in a single call rather than querying raw Customs data or assembling multiple sources. Ideal for macro, FX, and chip-sector analysis workflows where both the headline and granular item/market breakdown are required together. Use the sibling 10-day endpoint if you only need the provisional intra-month flash; use the HS-code-specific sibling if you need multi-month history for a single product code.

## Known failure modes

- Korea Customs has not yet published data for the requested period — response may reflect prior release with provisional flag
- Data truncated mid-month if only the 10-day provisional release is available
- Network or payment (x402) failure returns non-200 status
- Stale cache if called immediately after a new Customs release before the API refreshes

## How this service works

Use when you need a one-call read on South Korea's export cycle for macro, FX or chip-sector analysis. Data: Korea Customs 10-day and monthly releases. Input: none. Output: JSON headline (latest exports and YoY, semiconductor share, strongest/weakest item and market, 3-month average YoY, momentum), latest release by item and market, 12 monthly export totals with YoY, and HS 8542 integrated-circuit trade for the latest month. Example: /v1/trade/pulse

## Output

A JSON object containing: (1) headline block with latest exports in USD, YoY %, semiconductor share %, strongest/weakest item and market with their YoY, 3-month average YoY, and a momentum label; (2) latest 10-day or monthly release broken down by item and market with YoY; (3) 12 monthly export totals with YoY; (4) HS 8542 integrated-circuit trade detail for the latest month; plus metadata fields for asOf period, next release date, units, attribution, and notes.
