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
A JSON object containing three romanization system outputs (McCune-Reischauer 'mr', Revised Romanization 'rr', Yale 'yale') plus an array of common real-world spelling variants used in passports, legal documents, and international contexts.
Example use cases
KYC name matching across spellings
“I need to check if '이민준' appears on our watchlist — can you give me all the different English romanizations and spelling variants so I can search across all of them?”
Sanctions screening for Korean individuals
“We're screening a counterparty named 박지수 — please romanize that name into McCune-Reischauer, Revised Romanization, and list any alternate Latin spellings they might use on international documents.”
Business card transliteration for Korean executive
“Our Korean partner's name is 최수영 — what are all the standard English romanizations of that name, like RR and McCune-Reischauer, so I can put the right spelling on their English business card?”
