Do I need Python or any coding skills?

No. Hand the install message to your agent and it handles the repo, the scripts and the setup. You only supply an API key and then ask questions in plain language.

Why is a GitHub link enough to install it?

The repo ships a SKILL.md written for AI agents: which endpoint to call and how to shape each request. Modern agents can read a repo directly, so once they've read it, they know how to use the API.

My agent can't install it or the calls fail — what now?

First check that it can reach the internet and open the GitHub link, then confirm your key is set as the TRADEWIND_API_KEY environment variable. If it still fails, ask the agent to re-read SKILL.md and the references folder, or check the field names in the docs.

Where should I keep my API key?

In a local environment variable (TRADEWIND_API_KEY). Don't commit it, paste it in group chats or screenshot it. If you think it leaked, generate a new one in the console.

How is it billed — can I accidentally spend a lot?

You pay per valid result — no subscription, no minimum, and new accounts get free trial credits. Run a small batch first, confirm the results, then scale up.

Which agents and workflow platforms are supported?

OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, WorkBuddy, Accio Work, Coze, n8n, Dify and 50+ others. If it can read a web page or make an HTTP request, it can use TradeWind.

AGENT SKILL

One message, and your AI can use global B2B data

No downloads, no Python, no code. Paste the message below (with the GitHub link) into your agent — it reads the docs, installs the skill itself, and then finds leads, pulls customs records and verifies emails for you.

Two steps to get started

Get your API key

Sign in to the TradeWind console, create an API key and copy it. The full key is shown only once — keep it somewhere safe and never post or screenshot it.

Create a key in the console

Send the message to your agent

Paste the text below into OpenClaw / Claude Code / Cursor and swap in your own key. Your agent will open the repo, read SKILL.md and finish the setup on its own.

Install message (copy as-is)

Read the repo https://github.com/liyichen7887/tradewind-global-trade-company-people-search and follow its SKILL.md to install and configure the TradeWind skill for me. My API key is: tw_live_YOUR_KEY. When you're done, run one small test (per_page=3) on company search and confirm it returns results.

How it works on each platform

OpenClaw / Claude Code / Cursor / Codex

Just paste the install message — the agent reads the repo and wires up your key by itself.

Tencent WorkBuddy / Alibaba Accio Work

Paste the same message in any chat that supports external skills. If the platform can't open links, copy the contents of SKILL.md into its knowledge base instead.

Coze / n8n / Dify workflows

No skill install needed: add an HTTP node with base URL https://app.trade-wind.co and header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY, then copy a request body from the docs.

Once it's installed, just ask

“Find German auto-parts buyers with 50-500 employees and get me decision-maker emails”

“Pull this company's export customs records for the past year — which countries do they ship to?”

“Verify emails for this list of 200 contacts and drop the invalid ones”

“Research pet-supply importers in Southeast Asia and give me 20 companies with contacts”

“Create an AI prospecting task for US automotive parts manufacturers”

“Who runs marketing at this company on LinkedIn, and what's their email?”

Good to know

You pay per valid result — no result, no charge. 1 USD = 40 credits.
Start small: have the agent run per_page=3 first, check the fields, then scale up.
Empty results are normal — loosen the industry or region filters, or try different keywords.
Keep your key private. Never commit it or share a screenshot; rotate it in the console if it leaks.
