Naver API skill

Read public Naver results as clean JSON. This Naver API skill covers the four searches that matter on Korea's dominant portal: blog posts, cafe articles, local businesses and shopping listings. If you are researching the Korean market, Google data will not represent it — Naver is where the audience and the content actually are.

This skill wraps 4 live Naver endpoints from the ScraperSocial API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.

When to use this skill

• You are researching the Korean market and need sources Google does not index well.
• You are tracking a brand's presence in Naver blogs or cafe communities.
• You need Korean local business listings or shopping prices.

Do not use this skill when

• You expect Google-equivalent coverage in English. Results are Korean-language and Korean-market; query accordingly.
• You need Naver's own account or ad data. Not covered; Naver publishes its own developer APIs for that.

Setup

export SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY=sk_live_...   # https://scrapersocial.com/app/keys

Signing up at scrapersocial.com/signup includes 100 free credits, no card required.

Permissions and scope

These scripts do exactly three things and nothing else: read one environment variable (SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY), send HTTPS requests to https://api.scrapersocial.com (the host is a constant in the code, not configurable), and print JSON. They run as node scripts/<name>.js with no other shell use, no file writes and no persistence. call_endpoint.js accepts only the 4 documented /v1/naver/ paths in the table below and refuses anything else before a request is made.

Scripts

Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh. --limit is clamped to 50: above that the API returns an async job instead of data.

Example

node skills/naver-api/scripts/blog_search.js "서울 카페"

Every response uses the same envelope:

{ "data": {}, "meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." }, "request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b" }

meta appears on paginated endpoints only. Keep request_id — support traces calls with it.

Endpoints

Costs shown per item for paginated endpoints, per call otherwise. Failed calls are not charged.

FAQ

What can I search on Naver?

Four endpoints, 2 credits per result each: blog_search.js, cafearticle_search.js, local_search.js and shop_search.js.

Should I query in Korean?

Yes. Naver indexes Korean-language content, and Korean queries return substantially better results.

What is a cafe article?

Naver Cafe is a large community forum platform. cafearticle_search.js searches posts inside those communities — often the most candid source on a brand in Korea.

Is this an official Naver API?

No. ScraperSocial is independent and not affiliated with Naver. It returns publicly available data only.
