Naver Trends News

Monitor Naver (Korea) news trends and headlines. Built for PR, comms, media-monitoring teams and AI agents.

⏰ Run this as a Korea news watch (recommended)

Every monitoring actor is a subscription, not a one-shot lookup. Schedule a weekly sweep and catch new coverage as it lands:

{
  "mode": "news",
  "queries": ["삼성전자", "비트코인"],
  "sort": "date",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Weekly cron (0 8 * * 1) turns this into an always-on Korea news watch.

📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per item.

mode: "news" — one record per article:

• title — headline
• press — publisher (e.g. 연합뉴스, SBS)
• published_at — ISO 8601 UTC, normalised from Naver's Korean relative/absolute time
• published_raw — the original Naver time token (e.g. 9시간 전)
• url — the publisher's own article URL
• naver_url — the n.news.naver.com mirror permalink, where Naver exposes one
• snippet — result snippet
• query — the keyword this article matched
• scraped_at — collection timestamp

mode: "trends" — one record per DataLab Shopping-Insight keyword:

• keyword, rank, category, category_id, period, source

Pricing (Pay-Per-Event):

• Actor start: $0.005
• Per dataset item: $0.025 — about 40 items per $1

A 20-item two-keyword pull = $0.005 + (20 × $0.025) = $0.505. No monthly minimum, no seats, no overage bills.

If Naver refuses or challenges the request, the run fails with a status message naming the cause — you are not billed for a blocked run. If Naver answers and genuinely has no results for your keyword, the run succeeds with 0 items and says so, and nothing is charged.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and run Naver (Korea) news-trend monitoring on demand.

Sample agent prompt:

Pull today's Naver news for 삼성전자, sorted by recency, and summarise the top themes.

Agentic payments (x402): Supports agentic payment via x402 — agents can call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

No login, no Korean phone number, and no Naver Developers API key are required — the actor works entirely off Naver's public news search and DataLab Shopping-Insight endpoints.
