## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

Kakao Map Place Info resolves a known place ID and name into structured
location, category, region, contact, coordinate, and ranking metadata. It is a
focused lookup for Kakao Map data pipelines.

### What does Kakao Map Place Info do?

Enter a Kakao place ID and the place name used to locate it in public
[Kakao Map](https://map.kakao.com/) results. The Actor matches the place and
returns its profile metadata, including the region and category values needed
for Kakao Map Area Ranking.

Use Place Detail instead when your main goal is review summaries, recent
comments, and business hours.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `placeId` | Yes | Kakao place ID, also known as `confirmId`. |
| `placeName` | Yes | Place name used to locate the ID in search results. |
| `failOnError` | No | Stop the run instead of returning an error record. |

```json
{
  "placeId": "12345678",
  "placeName": "Example Restaurant"
}
```

### Output example

```json
{
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "placeId": "12345678",
    "regionId": "I10232100",
    "placeName": "Example Restaurant",
    "category": "Korean restaurant",
    "categoryParam": "category_food",
    "roadAddress": "Seoul, Gangnam-gu",
    "lat": 37.5,
    "lon": 127.0,
    "phone": "02-000-0000",
    "reviewCount": 320,
    "ratingAverage": 4.6
  }
}
```

The result is available in the default dataset and the `OUTPUT` key-value-store
record.

### Pricing

Pricing is based on each place lookup. Actor compute and Korean residential
network usage are included in the displayed price.

### Limitations

- Both the place ID and place name are required for the public search match.
- The lookup fails when the ID is not present in the search response for the
  supplied name.
- Optional contact, image, or rating fields can be empty.

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "placeId": "245883768",

## MCP server setup

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
