Apps for Exporters

ITA encourages developers to use the trade data in its APIs to build applications. These data sets are particularly valuable because they originate from authoritative, federal government sources. Developers should build applications that benefit businesses who export their products and services overseas. They can also enhance their existing applications by mashing ITA’s data with other trade-related data.

We are particularly interested in applications that help businesses:

• Learn about exporting
• Get ready to export
• Expand their existing exporting business.

ITA Trade Widgets

ITA has created several widgets that take advantage of the APIs’ search capabilities so you don’t have to. Visit the ITA Trade Widgets page for code that you can immediately add to your Web page or mobile app.
