What can you do with the News Search API?
The News 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/news/search?query=%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90&display=10"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/naver/news/search",
params={
'query': '삼성전자',
'display': '10',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/naver/news/search?query=%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90&display=10",
{
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 items to return per page. Defaults to 10, cap 100; `display=101` returns 400. |
| start | No | 1-indexed offset for pagination. Defaults to 1, cap 1000; `start=1001` returns 400. |
| sort | No | Sort order. Accepted values: sim|date. Defaults to `sim` (relevance) when the corpus supports sort. Values outside this corpus's domain are rejected with a 400 before any upstream call. (sim | date) |
| since | No | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: `next_cursor` is not returned and `pagination.stopped_at` is `since`. Sending it sets the newest-first sort shown in this endpoint's sort parameter (any other sort value is a free 400). The page still costs what a page costs, so you pay for the pages you walk and no more. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| until | No | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |

Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.
Contact usHow do I search Naver News with an API?
Send a GET request to /v1/naver/news/search with your keyword in the query parameter. SocialCrawl returns aggregated Korean news items including title, original link, Naver link, description, and pubDate under data.items.
What is the pubDate format in Naver News results?
pubDate comes back in RFC1123 format (for example, Mon, 26 May 2026 09:00:00 +0900). Parse it with any standard date library to filter or sort by recency. Each item also carries both the publisher's original link and the news.naver.com link.
Can I get the newest Korean headlines first?
Yes. Set sort to date for newest-first ordering, or sim for relevance (the default). Combine date sorting with display and start pagination to ingest a steady feed of fresh Korean headlines for a keyword or brand.
Where does the Naver News data come from?
Naver News aggregates articles from licensed Korean publishers at news.naver.com. The API returns the publisher's original link plus the Naver-hosted link, so you can attribute and deep-link correctly in any monitoring or briefing pipeline.
How much does the Naver News API cost?
Each Naver News search costs 1 credit on the standard tier, regardless of result count. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, plenty to test keyword monitoring across Korean publishers before you commit.
