Customs Analysis Area
Query trade area distribution data from customs data using the UpKuaJing Open Platform API.
Overview
This skill provides trade area distribution data for a specified HS code, broken down by country/region. Given an HS code, country type (exporter/importer), and recent months, it returns trade counts, amounts, buyer/seller counts for each country.
Running Scripts
Environment Setup
- Check Python:
python --version - Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Script directory: scripts/*.py
Run example: python scripts/*.py
Important: Always use direct script invocation like python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py. Do NOT use shell compound commands like cd scripts && python customs_analysis_area.py
Area Distribution Query (customs_analysis_area.py)
- Return granularity: One record per country/region
- Use cases: Analyze which countries trade a specific product, understand geographic trade distribution, compare exporter vs importer countries
- Examples:
- "Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries"
- "Which countries import product 04021000 the most?"
- Parameters: See Area API
API Key and Top-up
This skill requires an API key. The API key is stored in the ~/.upkuajing/.env file:
cat ~/.upkuajing/.env
Example file content:
UPKUAJING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
API Key Not Set
First check if the ~/.upkuajing/.env file has UPKUAJING_API_KEY;
If UPKUAJING_API_KEY is not set, prompt the user to choose:
- User has one: User provides it (manually add to ~/.upkuajing/.env file)
- User doesn't have one: You can apply using the interface (
auth.py --new_key), the new key will be automatically saved to ~/.upkuajing/.env Wait for user selection;
Account Top-up
When API response indicates insufficient balance, explain and guide user to top up:
- Create top-up order (
auth.py --new_rec_order) - Based on order response, send payment page URL to user, guide user to open URL and pay, user confirms after successful payment;
Get Account Information
Use this script to get account information for UPKUAJING_API_KEY: auth.py --account_info
API Key and UpKuaJing Account
- Newly applied API key: Register and login at UpKuaJing Open Platform, then bind account
Fees
All API calls incur fees, different interfaces have different billing methods.
Latest pricing: Users can visit Detailed Price Description
Or use: python scripts/auth.py --price_info (returns complete pricing for all interfaces)
Query Billing Rules
Billed by number of calls, each call returns one page of area distribution data:
- Each API call incurs a fee
- Before execution:
- Inform user that this query will incur a fee
- Stop, wait for explicit user confirmation in a separate message, then execute script
Fee Confirmation Principle
Any operation that incurs fees must first inform and wait for explicit user confirmation. Do not execute in the same message as the notification.
Workflow
Decision Guide
| User Intent | Use API | |-------------|---------| | "Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries" | Area Distribution Query | | "Which countries import product 04021000 the most?" | Area Distribution Query | | "Analyze geographic trade distribution for a product" | Area Distribution Query |
Usage Examples
Query Area Distribution
User request: "Show area distribution for HS code 04021000 in exporting countries over 12 months"
python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryType":1,"recentMonths":12}'
Query importing countries for a specific country:
python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryCode":"CN","countryType":2,"recentMonths":12}'
Query the next page:
python scripts/customs_analysis_area.py --params '{"hscode":"04021000","countryType":1,"recentMonths":12,"cursor":"eyJpZCI6MX0="}'
Error Handling
- API key invalid/non-existent: Check
UPKUAJING_API_KEYin~/.upkuajing/.envfile - Insufficient balance: Guide user to top up
- Invalid parameters: Must first check the corresponding API documentation in references/ directory, get correct parameter names and formats from documentation, do not guess
API Documentation Reference
- Area Distribution: Check references/customs-analysis-area-api.md
Best Practices
-
Check API documentation:
- Before executing queries, must first check the corresponding API reference documentation
- Check references/customs-analysis-area-api.md
- Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation
-
Country type:
countryType=1means exporting countries (suppliers)countryType=2means importing countries (buyers)
-
Cross-skill usage:
- First use customs-analysis-hscode-search and customs-analysis-hscode-detail to find and understand HS codes
- Use customs-analysis-trends for monthly trends, then this skill for geographic breakdown
- Combine with customs-analysis-trade-percent to see which companies dominate trade in each country
Notes

- Prohibit outputting technical parameter format: Do not display code-style parameters in responses, convert to natural language
- Do not estimate or guess per-call fees — use
python scripts/auth.py --price_infoto get accurate pricing information - Do not guess parameter names, get accurate parameter names and formats from documentation
