Naver Local Search API
Scrape Naver Local Search data with one API call. Searches map.naver.com places — Korean business / point-of-interest catalog. Returns places under `data.items[]` with `title`, `link`, `category`, `description`, `telephone`, `address` (legal-district), `roadAddress` (street), `mapx` / `mapy` (KATEC coordinates). Note: this corpus behaves differently from the others. `display` is capped at 5 and Naver SILENTLY CLAMPS anything higher rather than erroring, and `start` is ignored entirely, so **`local` cannot be paginated**: every page returns the same first 5 places.

What can you do with the Local Search API?
The Local Search endpoint gives you structured Naver data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/naver/local/search?query=%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AD+%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/naver/local/search",
params={
'query': '강남역 카페',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/naver/local/search?query=%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AD+%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Free-text search term (UTF-8). Required. |
| display | No | Number of places to return. This corpus caps at 5 and **defaults to 1**, so omitting it returns a single place. Values above 5 are silently clamped by Naver rather than rejected. |
| sort | No | Sort order. Accepted values: random|comment (display max 5, start max 1). Defaults to `sim` (relevance) when the corpus supports sort. Values outside this corpus's domain are rejected with a 400 before any upstream call. (random | comment) |
