Korea Official Statistics (KOSIS) — English-normalized time series
Pull any table from KOSIS (Statistics Korea's official portal) — no Korean account needed — and get
analysis-ready rows: English labels, ISO periods (2024-08, 2024-Q3, 2024-H2), numeric values with
thousand separators removed, explicit value_status (ok / missing / unparseable — missing is never
turned into 0), and a per-row attribution block.
Input
| field | example |
|---|---|
apiKey | optional — leave empty to use built-in access, or use your own key from https://kosis.kr/openapi/ (secret, never logged) |
orgId / tblId | 101 / table id from the kosis.kr table URL |
periodType | Y H Q M D |
startPeriod / endPeriod | 202001 / 202412 |
itemId, classL1 | default ALL |
maxRecords | default 1000, max 50,000 (output says truncated when cut) |
Output row
table_id, table_name_ko, category_code, category_name_en/ko, item_id, item_name_en/ko, unit_en/ko, frequency, period, period_status, period_raw, value, value_status, value_raw, english_complete, attribution{…}Terms
KOSIS allows commercial use of its statistics with attribution, but forbids reselling them without
processing (https://kosis.kr/serviceInfo/useGuide.do). This actor transforms every row into a new schema and
attaches the source, organization, table, last-changed date, retrieval date and URL (KOSIS terms, Art. 7) — keep the
attribution field when you republish. International and North-Korea statistics are non-commercial only;
tables whose name marks them as such are refused (name-based check — verify your table if unsure).
Your API key
KOSIS terms allow commercial use (Art. 8) and forbid transferring an API key (Art. 5). The actor's built-in key stays a secret environment variable and is never exposed to users; you may also supply your own key.
Pricing
Pay per result (one dataset row = one result event).
