Naver Map Places Scraper

Extract public Naver Map business listings for Korea-focused local SEO, lead generation, market research, and territory planning.

What does Naver Map Places Scraper do?

Naver Map Places Scraper turns Naver Map search results into structured dataset rows.

Use it to collect public place and business data from Korean local searches, including:

• Business names
• Categories
• Addresses and road addresses
• Phone numbers when available
• Website links when available
• Naver place URLs
• Coordinates
• Review counts
• Business status hints
• Image URLs and short descriptions when available

The actor is designed for search-result extraction, so each saved row represents one public Naver Map place returned for your query.

Who is it for?

This actor is useful for teams that need Korea-specific local business data.

• Local SEO agencies prospecting Korean businesses
• Sales teams building lead lists by city or district
• Market researchers comparing neighborhoods or categories
• Expansion teams checking local competition before opening a branch
• Data teams enriching internal business directories
• Agencies monitoring listings for clients on Naver Map

Why use this scraper?

Naver is a key local discovery platform in South Korea.

Manual research on Naver Map is slow when you need repeatable exports, comparisons, or scheduled monitoring.

This actor helps you:

• Run repeatable local searches
• Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via API
• Schedule recurring checks in Apify
• Connect data to CRMs, spreadsheets, dashboards, and enrichment workflows
• Keep one consistent output structure across many Korean search terms

How much does it cost to scrape Naver Map places?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

• A small start charge is applied once per run.
• A per-place charge is applied only for saved dataset rows.
• Smaller test runs are inexpensive because you can limit results per query.
• You can control cost by lowering maxResultsPerQuery and using focused queries.

Start with 10 to 25 places per query, review the output, then scale up only after the data matches your workflow.

Input overview

Provide one or more Naver Map search terms.

The most important fields are:

• queries — search terms such as 카페, 강남 맛집, 부산 호텔, or 서울 병원
• location — optional city, district, or neighborhood appended to each query
• maxResultsPerQuery — maximum number of places saved for each query
• proxyConfiguration — optional Apify Proxy settings if your environment is challenged

Example input

{
  "queries": ["카페", "강남 맛집"],
  "location": "서울",
  "maxResultsPerQuery": 25,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Search examples

Try focused searches first.

• 카페 with location 서울
• 강남 맛집
• 부산 호텔
• 홍대 미용실
• 서울 병원
• 제주 렌터카
• 인천 치과
• 대구 네일샵

Korean keywords usually provide the broadest coverage.

English keywords can work for some categories, but Korean search terms are recommended for local completeness.

Output data

Each dataset item is one Naver Map place.

The actor returns public fields exposed in search results. Some fields may be null because not every listing publishes the same information.

How to run on Apify

1. Open Naver Map Places Scraper on Apify.
2. Enter one or more search terms in queries.
3. Add a location hint if you want district-level results.
4. Set maxResultsPerQuery to a small value for the first run.
5. Start the actor.
6. Review the dataset sample.
7. Export results or connect them to your downstream workflow.

Tips for better results

• Use Korean keywords for better local coverage.
• Add district names for more precise intent.
• Prefer several focused searches over one broad search.
• Keep first runs small while checking output quality.
• Search by business type plus area, such as 치과 강남 or 호텔 부산.
• Review null fields before assuming a listing has no data; Naver may simply not expose that field in search results.

Limits

The actor currently saves up to 70 visible places per query.

Very broad terms may have more total results on Naver Map, but this limit keeps runs predictable and affordable.

If you need wider coverage, run multiple focused searches by district, neighborhood, or category.

Proxy settings

Start without proxy for the lowest cost.

If Naver returns an anti-bot challenge from your environment, enable Apify Proxy and keep test inputs small.

Recommended workflow:

• First run: proxy disabled, 10 results per query
• If challenged: enable Apify Proxy
• If scaling: increase result limits gradually after confirming output quality

Troubleshooting

No results?

• Try a Korean keyword.
• Add a clearer location.
• Lower the result limit and test a simpler query.

Anti-bot challenge?

• Reduce run size.
• Enable Apify Proxy.
• Retry with more focused Korean search terms.

Missing website or phone?

• Some Naver Map listings do not publish those fields.
• Use naverUrl to inspect the listing manually when a field is critical.

Unexpected location?

• Add a district or neighborhood to the location field.
• Put the location directly in the query, such as 강남 카페.

FAQ

Can it scrape reviews?

The actor returns review counts and related result metadata. It does not return full review text in the current version.

Can it scrape all of Korea at once?

Use multiple targeted queries by city, district, or category. One broad query is usually less useful than several focused searches.

Does it require login?

No. The actor is designed for public Naver Map search results.

Why are some fields null?

Naver Map listings do not all expose the same fields in search results. Null means the field was not available for that result.

Can I use English search terms?

Yes, but Korean terms are recommended for broader local coverage.

Related scrapers

Use this actor with other fetch_cat Apify actors for broader business-data workflows.

Related workflow ideas:

• Combine map data with search-result monitoring.
• Enrich local leads with website or contact checks.
• Compare Naver Map coverage against other public local directories.
• Schedule multiple local scrapers and merge exports in a warehouse.

Support

If a run does not return the data you expected, include the input JSON, run ID, and a short description of the target location or category when requesting help.

Small reproducible examples are the fastest way to diagnose query, location, or anti-bot issues.
