Example prompt: What's the current price divergence between Korean exchanges and global markets for BTC — give me the Kimchi premium and a quick AI summary of what's going on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, lightweight snapshot of the Kimchi premium (Korean vs global crypto price divergence) for a single token with a brief AI summary. Prefer this over the deep tier (/api/v1/global-vs-korea-divergence-deep) when you don't need Korean news signals or a structured multi-section AI breakdown and want to save cost ($0.05 vs $0.10).

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported symbol returns error — only specific symbols like BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP etc. are supported
- Exchange data unavailable if Korean exchange API is down or rate-limited
- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment of $0.05 is not included or invalid
- Stale data possible if cache is not refreshed in time

## How this service works

Global vs Korea divergence (light tier) — CoinGecko global price + Korean exchange + 1-2 sentence AI summary. For deeper analysis with Korean news signals and structured AI breakdown, use /api/v1/global-vs-korea-divergence-deep ($0.10).

## Output

Returns the global CoinGecko price for the specified token, the current Korean exchange price, the calculated divergence/premium percentage, and a 1-2 sentence AI-generated summary interpreting the divergence signal.
