Naver KnowledgeiN (지식iN) is Korea's dominant public Q&A community, the closest analog to Quora plus Stack Overflow for everyday questions. It is ideal for mining real Korean intent, FAQ topics, and how people phrase problems in their own words.
What sort options does the KnowledgeiN endpoint support?
sort accepts sim (relevance, the default), date (newest first), and point (by answer points). Sort by point to surface the most-endorsed answers first, which is useful when you want the highest-quality response for a question.
What fields come back from a KnowledgeiN search?
Each item includes the question title, link to the full thread, and a description that previews the answer. Title and description are HTML-tagged with <b> around matched terms so you can highlight the query in the preview.
