When to use the Naver Shopping Insight Category API

Use it for Korean shopping demand trends by category. It partly covers the gap left by Naver retiring its Shopping search corpus, though it gives trends, not product listings or prices.

From the API reference

Returns a relative click-share time series for up to 3 Naver Shopping categories under data.results[].data[] as {period, ratio} pairs. Set breakdown to split one category by device, gender, or age instead of comparing categories. Partly fills the gap left by Naver retiring its Shopping SEARCH corpus on 2026-07-31: this gives demand and click TRENDS for a category, though not individual product listings or prices, which no Naver API offers any more. ratio is a relative index within the requested window, not an absolute count. Shopping Insight history starts 2017-08-01 (later than search-trend's 2016-01-01); an earlier start_date is clamped up to it. An unknown category id returns no data points and is not charged.

Naver API

What can you do with the Shopping Insight Category API?

The Shopping Insight Category endpoint gives you structured Naver data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

# GET /v1/naver/shopping-insight/category: 5 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
category_codeYesComma-separated Naver Shopping category ids, up to 3 (e.g. `50000000` for 패션의류). Required. When `breakdown` is set, only the first id is used. Naver publishes no category-list API, so see the platform guide for the id table.
start_dateNoWindow start, `YYYY-MM-DD`. Defaults to 12 months before `end_date`. Clamped up to 2017-08-01, the earliest Shopping Insight data Naver holds.
end_dateNoWindow end, `YYYY-MM-DD`. Defaults to today.
time_unitNoAggregation bucket: `date`, `week`, or `month` (default `month`). (date | week | month)
deviceNoRestrict to `pc` or `mo` (mobile). Omit for both. (pc | mo)
genderNoRestrict to `f` or `m`. Omit for both. (f | m)
agesNoComma-separated age buckets: `10`, `20`, `30`, `40`, `50`, `60`. NOTE these differ from `search-trend`, which takes 1-11.
breakdownNoSplit a single category by `device`, `gender`, or `age` instead of comparing several categories. (device | gender | age)
