comtrade: Access and Analyse UN Comtrade International Trade Data

Download and analyse international merchandise and services trade data from the United Nations Comtrade database https://comtradeplus.un.org/. Retrieve bilateral trade flows, compute trade analytics (revealed comparative advantage, trade concentration, trade balance), and convert between commodity classifications (Harmonised System 'HS', Standard International Trade Classification 'SITC', Broad Economic Categories 'BEC'). Covers 200+ reporter countries, 60+ years of goods trade data (1962-present), and services trade via Extended Balance of Payments Services ('EBOPS'). Works without registration for basic queries. A free Application Programming Interface ('API') key from https://comtradedeveloper.un.org/ unlocks full access.
