KOSIS statistical tables matching a keyword, with the ids needed to pull their data.

Tool description as the model sees it

AUTHORITATIVE for finding the right South Korean statistics table by keyword — PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “find a KOSIS table about household income”, “Korean statistics on semiconductor exports”. Full-text searches the KOSIS (Statistics Korea) table catalogue by name and returns matching tables with their orgId, tblId, producing organisation, survey name and period coverage — the ids you then feed to kosis_stat_data. Requires an API key (free at https://kosis.kr/openapi/).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`searchNm`	string	yes	Search term. Korean matches best (e.g. “인구”), but English terms hit English table names too.
`orgId`	string	no	Optional producing organisation id to restrict the search, e.g. “101”.
`startCount`	number	no	Zero-based offset into the match list, for paging. Default 0.
`resultCount`	number	no	Maximum matches to return, 1-100. Default 20.
`_apiKey`	string	no
