What UN Comtrade (BYOK) is for

UN Comtrade (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own UN Comtrade data through the UN Comtrade API with a key you supply (UN Comtrade API subscription key). Read-only: 6 tools (get_trade_data, get_trade_balance, get_bilateral_data, get_data_availability, get_metadata, get_live_update). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to comtradeapi.un.org. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by UN Comtrade. UN Comtrade and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "What were Australia's total exports in 2023 according to UN Comtrade?"
• "What was Australia's trade balance with the world in 2023?"
• "How do Australian exports to China compare with China's reported imports from Australia in 2023?"
• "Which countries have published annual HS goods data for 2023?"
• "What notes accompany Australia's 2023 annual goods data in UN Comtrade?"
• "What did UN Comtrade publish most recently?"

What it does

• get_trade_data: Get final trade records (value, quantity, weight) by reporter, partner, commodity and flow for given periods; the free key plan may cap records.
• get_trade_balance: Get the trade balance (exports minus imports) for a reporter, partner and commodity over given periods.
• get_bilateral_data: Compare what a reporter says it traded with a partner against the partner's mirror report, for one flow and commodity.
• get_data_availability: Show which reporters and periods have published data for a product type, frequency and classification, optionally by publication date.
• get_metadata: Get publication notes for a reporter and period: data sets, publication dates and remarks.
• get_live_update: List the most recent data publications on UN Comtrade (which reporters and periods were just released).

BYOK key

You bring your own UN Comtrade UN Comtrade API subscription key (https://comtradedeveloper.un.org). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to comtradeapi.un.org over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://uncomtrade.org/docs/un-comtrade-api/ (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the UN Comtrade API (comtradeapi.un.org) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://uncomtrade.org/docs/un-comtrade-api/. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by UN Comtrade. UN Comtrade and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your UN Comtrade account.

UN Comtrade (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What UN Comtrade (BYOK) is. UN Comtrade (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own UN Comtrade data: Read international merchandise and services trade statistics, data availability and metadata from UN Comtrade with your own subscription key. You bring your own UN Comtrade UN Comtrade API subscription key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one UN Comtrade call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to comtradeapi.un.org, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If UN Comtrade rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What UN Comtrade receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under UN Comtrade's own terms and privacy policy. UN Comtrade acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer UN Comtrade gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your UN Comtrade data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. UN Comtrade (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at UN Comtrade at any time to end all access.

Children. UN Comtrade (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under UN Comtrade's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
