Korea Game Rating Lookup (GRAC)

Korea Game Rating Lookup gives you South Korea's official game age-rating records as clean English JSON. Search by game title, company, rating number or date and get the rating (ALL / 12+ / 15+ / 18+ / Refused / Revoked), platform, genre, content descriptors and cancellation status. The source data is published only in Korean by the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC). This Actor translates it and keeps the original Korean next to every English value.

• 📋 33,000+ rating decisions from GRAC and the Game Content Rating Board (GCRB)
• 🔄 Refreshed daily from the official GRAC Open API
• 💸 Pay only for records delivered. No results, errors or invalid input cost nothing.
• 🤖 Built for AI agents and automations: flat, predictable JSON and one record per rating decision

This is an unofficial tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by GRAC, GCRB or any Korean government body.

What can you use Korea Game Rating Lookup for?

• Launching a game in Korea: check how comparable titles were rated, which content descriptors triggered 15+ or 18+, and whether any were refused.
• Localization and compliance teams: confirm the Korean rating, rating number and rating body of a title before store submission or marketing.
• Market research and investment analysis: track rating volume by platform, genre or company over time, for example every console title rated in the last quarter.
• Monitoring: schedule a daily run filtered by company or date to catch new ratings, refusals and revocations.
• AI agents: answer "Is this game rated in Korea, and what rating did it get?" with one call.

Sample output

Each rating decision is one record. English fields are always paired with the original Korean (ko) so nothing is lost in translation.

{
  "ratingNumber": "GC-CC-NP-220401-011",
  "ratedDate": "2022-04-01",
  "titleKo": "Overwatch (오버워치)",
  "company": "주식회사 넥슨코리아",
  "ratingBody": "GCRB",
  "rating": { "code": "15+", "ko": "15세이용가" },
  "genre": { "en": "FPS/TPS", "ko": "FPS/TPS" },
  "platform": { "en": "PC/Online", "ko": "PC/온라인 게임" },
  "contentDescriptors": [{ "en": "Violence", "ko": "폭력성" }],
  "summaryKo": "기존 오버워치 세계관을 이어서 분쟁의 세계를 무대로 영웅들이 팀을 구성하여 전투하는 액션 슈팅 게임",
  "isCancelled": false,
  "cancelledDate": null,
  "source": "GRAC Open API (grac.or.kr)",
  "fetchedAt": "2026-09-27T08:01:17+00:00"
}

When a rating is later revoked, GRAC publishes a second record with the same rating number, the revocation date and rating.code: "REVOKED". Both records are returned, so you see the full history:

{
  "ratingNumber": "CC-NP-221124-001",
  "ratedDate": "2025-01-16",
  "titleKo": "AA 맞고(AA Matgo)",
  "rating": { "code": "REVOKED", "ko": "등급취소" },
  "isCancelled": true,
  "cancelledDate": "2025-01-16"
}

You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them via the Apify API.

How to search

All filters are optional and combined with AND. Results are sorted newest first.

Input	Example	Notes
gameTitle	"Overwatch", "젤다의 전설"	Partial match. Ignores case and spaces ("엘든링" finds "엘든 링"). Use the title as registered in Korea. Many titles include both Korean and English.
company	"닌텐도", "넥슨"	Partial match on the applicant name, usually in Korean
ratingNumber	"GC-CC-NP-220401-011"	Exact match
dateFrom, dateTo	"2026-01-01"	Decision date range, inclusive
maxResults	100 (default)	Maximum records returned. You are charged only for what is delivered.
includeCancelled	true (default)	Set to false to hide cancelled ratings

Example input, every console and PC rating for a company in 2025:

{
  "company": "닌텐도",
  "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2025-12-31",
  "maxResults": 500
}

Tip: if an English title returns nothing, try the Korean title or a distinctive part of it. Korean registrations often use the Korean title first.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per event pricing, with no platform usage fee on top:

Event	Price	When
Rating record	$0.003 per record	For each record delivered to your dataset
Lookup fee	$0.01 per run	Once per run, only if at least one record was delivered

Examples:

• Check one game (3 records): 3 × $0.003 + $0.01 = $0.019
• Every rating from one company in a year (200 records): $0.61
• No matching records: $0

You are not charged anything when:

• the search returns no results,
• the input is invalid,
• the data source is temporarily unavailable.

Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops at that limit.

Coverage: what is and isn't included

Please read this before relying on "no result" as an answer.

• ✅ PC, console and arcade games are well covered. This includes most major releases distributed in Korea by publishers or local distributors.
• ✅ 18+ (adults-only) mobile games are included. These must be rated by GRAC directly.
• ⚠️ Most other mobile games are NOT included. Since 2017, app stores such as Google Play and ONE store act as self-classification operators and issue ratings through IARC. Those ratings are not published in GRAC's data. For example, Genshin Impact (mobile), Brawl Stars and Blue Archive have no GRAC record.
• ⚠️ Some PC and console titles may also be missing if they were rated through a self-classification operator.

No result does not mean a game is unavailable or unrated in Korea. When nothing matches, the run ends with a notice explaining this, and you are not charged.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? The full GRAC dataset is re-synced once a day. The fetchedAt field shows when each record was synced. If a daily sync fails, the previous day's data is kept.

Why do I see two records for the same rating number? The first is the original rating. The second is a later revocation (REVOKED) with its own date. Set includeCancelled: false to hide cancelled ratings.

Why are some fields null? Refused ratings (REFUSED) are published without a rating number, genre or platform. Summaries are optional in the source.

Are the English labels official? No. Rating codes, genres, platforms and content descriptors are translated with a fixed mapping. The Korean original is always included next to them.

Can AI agents use this Actor? Yes. It runs as a standard batch Actor with limited permissions, and output is predictable JSON. Agents can call it through the Apify API or Apify MCP server.

Is this legal to use? The data is official public information. GRAC publishes it through its Open API, which is registered on Korea's Public Data Portal (data.go.kr) with no restriction on commercial use. The Actor collects no personal data beyond the applicant company names that GRAC itself publishes.
