## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the exact statutory text of a specific article from a named Korean law, especially for compliance research, due diligence, or legal analysis involving Korean financial, corporate, or regulatory statutes. It is particularly useful for agents that need to cite or interpret Korean law without maintaining their own legal database, and when pay-per-call USDC micropayment pricing is preferred over a subscription account.

## Known failure modes

- Article number not found in the specified law — returns error or empty text
- Law name not recognized or misspelled — may return no results
- Malformed query parameters (missing 'law' or 'no') — returns 400-level error
- Payment failure via x402/USDC — request blocked before processing
- Law database may not include all statutes or may lag behind recent legislative amendments

## How this service works

Pay-per-call Korean company due diligence, company ID crosswalk, sanctions screening with Korean name variants, Upbit/Bithumb risk events, HWP to Markdown, business status, business-day calendar, address normalisation, law, rates, filings and more. No account or API key: pay each call in USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the law name in Korean, the article identifier (e.g. 제178조), and the full Korean-language text of the requested statutory article.
