RobotInsight / Developer access

API for agents

Robots, components and the companies building them.

Source-backed Korean industry reporting, with reviewed structured fields for agent workflows.

Find Korean actuator suppliers with new announcements this week.

This week means Monday through today in Asia/Seoul. These dates filter article publication, not when an event happened.

2026-10-12 → 2026-10-16 · Asia/Seoul

Open free JSON ↗Expand to the last 30 days

No wallet needed. The preview only requests depth=index and never signs a payment. A zero-match week is a valid result within the reviewed coverage.

Run the free query to see matching titles and dates, or open the JSON link directly.

A fixed, deliberately public article. It is not the latest query result. Parameters cannot select other articles.

Pay for the articles returned

USDC, six decimal places. Dollar notation below denotes USDC amounts. Base and Polygon are advertised rails; the client example selects Base.

Current query pricing, generated from server configuration
Depth	Included	Per article
index	Titles, dates, IDs and discovery tags	$0.000
brief	Index + summary, KPIs and reviewed bilingual brief	$0.020
full	Brief + article body, sources and complete reviewed intelligence	$0.100

Paid query = $0.010 + per-article fee × articles returned

One brief article: $0.030. Five brief articles: $0.110. One full article: $0.110.
Index and empty results are free. Cursor continuations waive the base fee. Default: five articles. Maximum: 100 per page.
Query purchases apply to one response. They do not create an article day pass.
The separate article-body endpoint costs $0.500 for a 24-hour site-wide article-body pass. It returns X-Day-Pass for bearer reuse across this site’s article-body endpoints; intelligence queries remain separate.

From a free preview to a bounded payment

Start with curl

curl -sS 'https://robotinsight.kr/api/intel?depth=index&limit=10&component=actuator&entityCountry=KR&eventType=product_announcement%2Ccontract&since=2026-10-12&until=2026-10-16'

Node client, Base USDC

Node.js 22 or newer. Install the pinned versions, download the client and review its source before running.

npm init -y
npm install --save-exact @x402/core@2.28.0 @x402/evm@2.28.0 viem@2.57.7
curl -fsS https://robotinsight.kr/examples/paid-client.mjs -o paid-client.mjs

# Set EVM_PRIVATE_KEY in your local environment. Never put it in browser code.
API_URL='https://robotinsight.kr/api/intel?depth=brief&limit=1' MAX_USDC=0.15 node paid-client.mjs

The client reads EVM_PRIVATE_KEY from your local environment. MAX_USDC caps the quoted price before signing. It retries the identical URL once and decodes PAYMENT-RESPONSE.

If a paid request times out, stop. Do not create another authorization automatically. Inspect wallet transfers and any receipt or request ID, then contact the publication to resolve delivery before retrying.

The default 402 body is v1; PAYMENT-REQUIRED always carries a base64 v2 challenge. Request a v2 body with X-402-Version: 2, Accept: application/vnd.x402+json; version=2, x402Version=2, or a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.

Settlement responses use PAYMENT-RESPONSE and legacy X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE with identical values. Free responses and verification failures have no receipt. A returned settlement failure retains its failure receipt.

Browser access: GET and OPTIONS, Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, credentials omitted. Payment and bearer headers are allowed; payment response headers and X-Day-Pass are exposed. Never put a wallet key in browser code.

Coverage you can inspect

30 / 425 articles have reviewed structured intelligence. Reviewed publication range: 2026-10-02 → 2026-10-15. Latest enrichment update: 2026-10-15T08:26:44Z.

Corpus newest article: 2026-10-15. Publication and enrichment follow editorial review; there is no fixed update SLA. Match freshness is returned separately from corpus freshness.

Articles remain Korean. Documentation and selected reviewed summaries are bilingual. Missing enrichment is unknown, not evidence that no event occurred.

entity · component · eventType · entityCountry: Structured filters search reviewed records only. Different filters combine with AND; comma-separated values combine with OR. They must match the same event and participant. Component matching requires a supplier or developer; a Korean customer does not make a foreign supplier Korean.
q · category · since · until · cursor · region: Existing keyword, category and pagination behavior is preserved. since/until filter inclusive article publication dates. Preview and paid depths use identical selection and ordering.
claimBasis · status · evidenceIds: Every reviewed event, relationship and metric has supporting evidence. Company statements, public-agency announcements, reporting and editorial inference remain distinct. Inference is excluded from structured matches. A confirmed company-claimed relationship is not an independent audit. Plans and forecasts stay qualified.
schemaVersion: 1.0: Independent of the payment version. Additive optional fields may be introduced within 1.x; incompatible changes require a new major version. Amounts are decimal strings in original units and currency. Unknown dates, countries and tickers are null.
