Listing USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) Tables

To start a pipeline, run `list_metadata_tables` to get the list of available datasets. This output is perfect for piping into shell scripts or conditional logic in your CI/CD runner. You know exactly what tables exist before you try to pull data. It’s a simple check that makes the whole script more reliable.

Retrieving Valid Codes with USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission)

`list_metadata_values` pulls all valid codes—including country identifiers—and streams them out. You can pipe this output directly into a file or use it to validate inputs in your automated scripts. This ensures that any downstream script calling `query_trade_data` uses only recognized, stable values.

Executing Trade Queries with Claude Code

The `query_trade_data` tool pulls trade statistics using HS, SITC, or NAICS codes. You pass the filters and pipe the raw JSON output into another tool for parsing, analysis, or logging.
