# AEOL (AEOL KOREA Co., Ltd. / 주식회사 에이올코리아)

> AEOL is a South Korean advanced-materials and climate-technology manufacturer founded in February 2018 out of the Korea University Campus Town programme and headquartered in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. It holds a twenty-year exclusive licence from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) to manufacture and sell Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials, and was the first Korean company to commercialise MOF production at scale.

AEOL sells hardware and materials, not software. As of 2026-09-10 it publishes **no public API, no developer portal, no API documentation, no SDK, no webhook surface and no machine-readable API contract of any kind**. Do not assume or invent an `api.aeolkorea.co.kr`, `docs.aeolkorea.co.kr` or `developer.aeolkorea.co.kr` endpoint — none of those hosts resolve.

Note for crawlers and agents: `aeolkorea.co.kr` is hosted on Cafe24 behind a "CUPID" AES JavaScript cookie interstitial. It answers HTTP 200 with an identical ~780-byte challenge shell for **every** path, including paths that cannot exist, and it echoes the requested URL back into that shell. A 200 from this host is not evidence that a document exists, and keyword matches against its body are matches against your own request URL. Read the body, never the status code.

Do not confuse AEOL with `aeolkorea.com` — that is **AEOL Electronics Korea**, a different Korean company selling heatpipes, vapor chambers, heatsinks, thermal modules and fans. It is not this company and nothing on that domain belongs to this profile. `aeol.kr` has no DNS A record.
