You have a key.
Here is exactly what to do with it.

No code required to get your first result. This page covers your three keys, the live playground, and the 21 embeddable widgets — in the order you will use them.

Under 5 minutes to your first live result

No code required in the playground

US, Mexico, Canada covered on every key

Step 0

Your three keys, in plain terms

When you sign up, your account gets three key types. Each one has a different job. Start with the test key. The other two come into play when you go live.

Start hereTest Key

Sandbox exploration

tri_test_…

Full access to all 47 endpoints across the USMCA corridor (US, MX, CA). Returns real intelligence. Limited to 100 credits per month. Use this in the playground today — no risk.

Live Key

Production access

tri_live_…

Full access, counts against your paid plan. Generate this in the developer portal when your developer is ready to go live. Hand this key to them, not the test key.

Website embedding

tri_widget_live_…

Locked to the domains you control. Safe to include in a public webpage because it only works on your approved sites and only calls widget endpoints.

What to do next

Three steps. The first two are yours.

You do not need a developer to complete steps 1 and 2. Step 3 is the handoff.

You do this

Open the API Playground

Go to triangle-trade-intel.site/api-playground. Paste your test key into the API Key field at the top.

⚡

The form appears as soon as you paste your key. Every endpoint has a pre-filled sample already in the form. You can run it as-is to see a real result, or replace the sample values with your own product information.

What you see after pasting your key. Category tabs appear at the top. Select an endpoint from the dropdown, click Fill Sample Data, then Send Request. The response appears on the right.

You do this

Run a call that is relevant to your business

Use the category tabs at the top of the playground to filter to what matters to you. For USMCA corridor work, start with the USMCA Qualification Check.

Suggested first call: Select USMCA / FTA from the category tabs. Choose USMCA Qualification Check. Hit Fill Sample, swap in a product you actually ship, and click Send Request. The result shows a pass or fail, the Regional Value Content percentage, and the legal reasoning behind it.

📎

Every result includes the source citation and the date the rate was verified. This is the audit trail that a CBP officer would ask for. It is included automatically — not something you have to build.

Your developer does this

Generate a Live key and hand it over

When you are ready to go live, go to your developer portal and create a Live key. Share that key and the Developer Guide with your developer. Each widget is one block of code. Most integrations take less than a day.

Where to go: triangle-trade-intel.site/developer. Click + API Key, select Live environment. Your live key starts with tri_live_

47 Endpoints, all included

Where to start in the playground

All 47 endpoints are available on every plan, in every market, with your test key today. The ones below are the best starting points for most logistics and supply chain teams.

USMCA Qualification Check0.5 credits

Pass in a product's component breakdown. Returns a pass or fail, Regional Value Content percentage, and the legal basis. Good first call for logistics teams.

Full Duty Stack0.5 credits

Base MFN rate plus every active surcharge stacked per shipment. Includes Section 301 (lists and forced labor), Section 232, and AD/CVD. One call, one total.

HS Classification1 credits

Enter a product description. Returns the 8-digit HS code with GRI-based reasoning and Federal Register citations to support a CBP audit.

Mexico Sourcing ROI0.5 credits

Calculate the annual duty savings of shifting from China to Mexico. Shows the full duty stack for each route side by side.

Corridor Comparison (US, MX, CA)0.5 credits

Compare total duty costs across the USMCA corridor in one call: US, Mexico, and Canada.

Health Checkfree

Confirm your key is active and your connection is live. Zero credits, no parameters required. A good first Send Request to verify setup.

7 Embeddable Widgets

Pre-built tools you can test right now

Widgets are pre-built tools that look like part of your website. Your developer adds one block of code and the widget appears. You can see exactly what each widget looks like before any development work — using the same test key.

Browse all 21 embeddable widgets in the API Catalog — scroll to the Embeddable Widgets section. Each widget entry shows the endpoint path and what it does. Contact your account manager to get a widget key (tri_widget_live_) to begin embedding.

Widget Testing page showing the Tariff Rate Lookup widget live preview with embed code on the right

The Tariff Rate Lookup widget in test mode. The left panel shows exactly what the widget looks like on your page. The right panel has the embed code your developer needs, ready to copy. Switching between Light and Dark themes updates the preview instantly.

When you are ready to embed a widget on a real page, your developer will use a Widget key (starts with tri_widget_live_), not the live key. Widget keys are locked to your approved domains, making them safe to include in a public webpage.
