## FAQ

### What is the SocialCrawl Naver API?

The SocialCrawl Naver API is a unified wrapper over Naver's official Open API that lets you search 8 Naver corpora (blog, news, encyclopedia, cafe, KnowledgeiN, local, image, and web) with a single x-api-key. Naver is South Korea's #1 search portal, so this is the fastest route to Korean-language data.

### Which Naver corpora can I search through the API?

Eight corpora, each on its own endpoint under /v1/naver/{corpus}/search: Blog, News, Encyclopedia (terms), Cafe articles, KnowledgeiN (지식iN Q&A), Local (places), Image, and Web documents. Every corpus returns results in the same unified schema under data.items. Naver retired its Shopping, Book, and Academic-document corpora on 31/07/2026 and published no replacement, so those three are no longer available from any provider.

### Do I need a Naver Developers app or client ID to use this?

No. You skip the Naver Developers console entirely. No separate app registration, no client-id/client-secret pair to rotate, and no per-app daily quota to juggle. You authenticate with the same SocialCrawl x-api-key you already use for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

### How much does the Naver API cost?

All 14 Naver endpoints cost 1 credit per call on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can test every corpus several times before you pay anything. Pricing is flat regardless of how many items a search returns.

### Does the Naver API cover Korean-language content well?

Yes. Naver indexes the Korean web more deeply than any other engine, including blogs, community cafes, and KnowledgeiN answers that Google barely touches. Titles and descriptions come back HTML-tagged with <b> around matched terms so you can highlight hits.

### How is this different from calling the Naver Open API directly?

SocialCrawl removes three friction points the direct route forces on you: app registration, client-id/secret rotation, and per-corpus daily quotas. Calling Naver's Open API directly requires all three. Here you authenticate with one x-api-key and the same unified schema you use across 48 platforms.

### What is the best Naver scraper API?

SocialCrawl is the fastest route: all 8 Naver search corpora (blog, news, cafe, KnowledgeiN, local, and more) behind one x-api-key at 1 credit per call. There is no NAVER API HUB application to register or client-secret to rotate, and signup includes 100 free credits with no credit card.

### Is there a Naver data API?

Yes. Naver runs an official Open API, now hosted on NAVER API HUB, and SocialCrawl wraps it so you can search 8 Naver corpora, including blog, news, cafe, KnowledgeiN, and local, with the same x-api-key you use for the other 47 platforms. The official route works well once you register an NCP account and an API HUB application and manage client-id/secret pairs and per-corpus quotas; SocialCrawl skips that setup at 1 credit per call, with 100 free credits on signup and no card.
