## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Kakao Map Search Scraper

Fetch a selected Kakao Map result page by keyword, optionally anchored to a
WGS84 map center.

### What does this Actor do?

The Actor searches Kakao Map for a Korean keyword and returns the selected
result page. When both `x` and `y` are provided, the center is applied to that
page so generic queries return
results ordered around that location.

The center anchors result ordering; it is not a radius or strict geographic
boundary.

### What data does it return?

- Rank, Kakao place ID, name, and category
- Lot and road addresses, phone, and coordinates
- Thumbnail, review count, rating count, and average rating
- Franchise, delivery, takeout, parking, reservation, Wi-Fi, and pet signals
  when present
- Applied WGS84 center and the WCONGNAMUL coordinates sent to Kakao Map

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "스타벅스",
  "x": 126.978,
  "y": 37.5665,
  "page": 2,
  "limit": 15,
  "sort": 0
}
````

| Field | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | Yes | - | Korean local-search query. |
| `x` | No | - | WGS84 longitude, from -180 to 180. Must be supplied together with `y`. Numeric strings remain accepted by the HTTP runtime for compatibility. |
| `y` | No | - | WGS84 latitude, from -90 to 90. Must be supplied together with `x`. Numeric strings remain accepted by the HTTP runtime for compatibility. |
| `page` | No | `1` | Kakao Map source page to fetch, from 1 to 10. |
| `limit` | No | `15` | Results returned from the selected source page, from 1 to 15. |
| `sort` | No | `0` | Kakao sort mode accepted by the search endpoint. |
| `failOnError` | No | `true` | Fail the run on an HTTP, JSON, response-schema, or coordinate error. Set `false` only to store an error row. |

### Center-coordinate contract

Kakao Map's public web client sends map centers to the search endpoint as
`center=<WCONGNAMUL x>,<WCONGNAMUL y>`. This Actor accepts `x`/`y` as WGS84
longitude and latitude and reproduces the public web client's
`LatLng.toCoords()` conversion locally.

- No Kakao REST API key or official DAPI request is used.
- Supplying only one coordinate fails instead of silently running an
  unanchored search.
- The converted `center` parameter is sent on the selected page.
- There is no coordinate-source or search-source fallback.

### Output example

```json
{
  "rank": 1,
  "placeId": "27557389",
  "name": "스타벅스 한국프레스센터점",
  "roadAddress": "서울 중구 세종대로 124",
  "reviewCount": 320,
  "ratingAverage": 4.1,
  "total": 30,
  "query": "스타벅스",
  "centerApplied": true,
  "inputX": 126.978,
  "inputY": 37.5665,
  "centerX": 495141,
  "centerY": 1129713,
  "inputCoordinateSystem": "WGS84",
  "centerCoordinateSystem": "WCONGNAMUL",
  "success": true,
  "httpStatus": 200
}
```

### Reliability and network

- Source: Kakao Map's internal `mapsearch/map.daum` web endpoint
- Proxy: Apify Residential proxy fixed to South Korea
- Fallback: none; malformed JSON or a missing `place` array fails the run

### Pricing and limits

- Price: **$0.002 per fetched source page** (**$2 per 1,000 pages**)
- Billing event: one successfully fetched Kakao Map result page
- Maximum: one selected page and 15 places per run
- Actor compute and the KR Residential proxy are included in the event price.
- A page can contain fewer than 15 places.

### Troubleshooting

- No results: make the query more specific.
- Unexpected region: supply both WGS84 `x` (longitude) and `y` (latitude).
- Need one place's reviews and hours: use
  [Kakao Map Place Detail](https://apify.com/battery/kakaomap-place-detail).
