Korea does not search on Google, it searches on Naver, and a Naver results page looks nothing like a Google SERP. The Naver Search API returns web, news, image, video, and shopping results from Naver as clean JSON rows, each tagged with its result_type, query, vertical, and position. Send a query in Korean or English, pick a vertical, and get back what Naver actually displayed, no developer registration or Korean-language signup flow.

It is built for market researchers sizing Korean demand, SEO teams tracking rankings for brands that sell into Korea, and AI-agent builders who need grounded Korean search instead of translated guesses. Pricing is pay per result with no monthly minimum, and maxResultsPerQuery caps the spend on every query.

Example Tasks and Use Cases

• Get Naver web search results - the base recipe, Naver web organic results as flat JSON rows with positions.

• Export Naver search results to CSV - the same run pointed straight at a spreadsheet for analysts.

• Search Naver news by keyword - the news vertical with press, date, and snippet per story.

• Monitor Samsung coverage with Naver news search - Korean brand and PR monitoring aimed at one company.

• Search Naver images by keyword - image results with their own dimension fields.

• Search Naver from Claude via MCP for Korean research - live Korean search as a tool call inside Claude.

Works with MCP

The Actor runs over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients can call it as a tool. Ask something like "what is trending in Korean news coverage of Samsung this week" and it returns structured rows with sources, no scraping code required.
