Naver Scraper - Places, Blogs, News & Cafe Leads

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NAVER Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. "Naver" is referenced only to describe the publicly available website this Actor collects data from.

Turn Naver, South Korea's dominant search portal, into clean structured data: Korean local business leads with phone numbers and addresses, plus blog, news and cafe search results with the full article body, not just a snippet.

No browser, no login, no cookies. This actor runs on plain HTTP against Naver's own server-rendered pages, so runs finish in seconds and cost a fraction of a browser-based scraper.

Honest scope - what this actor does NOT do

We would rather tell you up front than have you discover it on your first run.

• Naver Shopping is not included. search.shopping.naver.com answers automated requests with HTTP 418 on every lane we tested, so shopping is not offered rather than shipped broken.
• Only two Naver Place lanes are offered (general and beauty). Naver's other Place verticals (/cafe/list, /hospital, /attraction, /accommodation, /place) either 404 or render zero businesses server-side. general covers every business type anyway - the query picks the category, e.g. 강남 카페, 부산 치과, 홍대 헬스장.
• Opening hours are not returned. Naver loads them through a later request and leaves the field null in the page payload, measured across 122 live businesses. Rather than ship a permanently empty column, we removed it. Blog tags and news thumbnails were dropped for the same reason.
• Naver Place ignores ?page=. Page 2 returns the identical businesses. Depth therefore comes from sweeping the regions list (each region is a different map anchor and a different result set), not from paging - which is why regions exists.

Reliability

Naver rate-limits by IP. This actor rotates a pool of independently-primed Korean residential proxy sessions, one egress IP each, and validates the payload rather than the status code - a 200 that came back without the expected data is treated as a throttle, rotated and retried.

• A transient block never throws. The run ends Succeeded with a status message and, on pay-per-event, you are billed nothing for zero results.
• Every run carries a wall-clock budget from ACTOR_TIMEOUT_AT and stops cleanly before the platform can kill it, so a run can never end TIMED-OUT. Proven: an unbounded run under a 120 s timeout finished Succeeded in 64 s with 36 complete records and a status message.
• Empty or malformed input runs a small real sample instead of failing.

Input

{
  "mode": "places",
  "placeType": "general",
  "queries": ["강남 카페"],

}

Field	Description

queries	Search terms, Korean or English
placeType	general (any business type) or beauty
regions	Places only - sweep these regions for depth
includeDetails	Adds full article text / business detail fields
maxItems	0 = unlimited (still stops safely before the timeout)
sortBy	relevance or recent

How much does it cost to scrape Naver?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• Business lead - One Korean local business with phone, full address, coordinates, rating, review counts and lead score. Includes menus, amenities and visitor review text where the business publishes them.

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

This actor works as a tool for AI agents through Apify's MCP server, so an assistant can look up Korean businesses or Korean-language coverage on demand.

Agent-ready: autonomous discovery and payment

This Actor is pay-per-event with limited permissions, which makes it eligible for Apify's agentic payments. AI agents can discover, run, and pay for this Actor autonomously - with no Apify account - using USDC on Base via x402 or Skyfire.

• MCP-native: callable as a tool from any MCP-compatible assistant.
• Deterministic pricing: you are charged per result, so an agent can budget a task precisely.
• No empty-result charges: a run that returns nothing costs nothing.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/naver-scraper').call({
    "mode": "places",
    "placeType": "general",
    "queries": [
        "강남 카페"
    ],
    "includeDetails": true,
    "maxItems": 20
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
