# Naver Shopping Insight Category API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/naver/shopping-insight-category)

> 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. An unknown category id returns no data points and is not charged.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/naver/shopping-insight/category` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `category_code` | yes | Comma-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_date` | no | Window start, `YYYY-MM-DD`. Defaults to 12 months before `end_date`. Clamped up to 2016-01-01. |
| `end_date` | no | Window end, `YYYY-MM-DD`. Defaults to today. |
| `time_unit` | no | Aggregation bucket: `date`, `week`, or `month` (default `month`). (date \| week \| month) |
| `device` | no | Restrict to `pc` or `mo` (mobile). Omit for both. (pc \| mo) |
| `gender` | no | Restrict to `f` or `m`. Omit for both. (f \| m) |
| `ages` | no | Comma-separated age buckets: `10`, `20`, `30`, `40`, `50`, `60`. NOTE these differ from `search-trend`, which takes 0-11. |
| `breakdown` | no | Split a single category by `device`, `gender`, or `age` instead of comparing several categories. (device \| gender \| age) |
