## FAQ

### How do I access the Naver Blog API?

Send a GET request to /v1/naver/blog/search with your search term in the required query parameter. SocialCrawl returns matching blog.naver.com posts including title, link, description, blogger name, blogger link, and postdate — all under data.items.

### What fields does the Naver Blog endpoint return?

Each item includes title, link, description, bloggername, bloggerlink, and postdate in YYYYMMDD format. The title and description fields come HTML-tagged with <b> around the matched query terms, so you can render highlights directly.

### Can I sort and paginate Naver blog results?

Yes. Set sort to sim (relevance, the default) or date (newest first). Use display to set page size and start as the offset to page through results. This lets you walk a keyword's full blog history beyond the first page.

### Why search Naver Blog instead of a general blog API?

Naver Blog is Korea's dominant long-form blogging platform, so it holds Korean product reviews, travel logs, and recipes that Western engines miss. Searching it directly is the most reliable way to pull authentic Korean-language blog content at scale.

### How much does a Naver Blog API call cost?

Each Naver Blog search costs 1 credit on the standard tier, no matter how many posts come back. New accounts start with 100 free credits and no credit card, so you can run roughly 100 blog searches before paying anything.
