Kakao Map Search Scraper (카카오맵 장소 검색)

Search Kakao Map (카카오맵) by keyword, as you do in the Kakao Map app, and get every matching Korean place: restaurants (맛집), cafes, clinics, academies, shops, hotels and more. For each place you get the name, category, phone number, homepage, road and lot address, postal code, GPS coordinates, rating, rating count, blog review count, amenities, payment options and photo.

Kakao Map shows only 500 places for one search. This Actor goes past that limit, so you can get thousands of places for one keyword — for example, all the cafes in Seongsu-dong (성수동 카페) or every 맛집 around Gangnam. No Kakao account, login, cookies or API key is needed.

Download the places as JSON, CSV or Excel, run the Actor from the API on a schedule, or ask an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to search Kakao Map for you.

What does Kakao Map Search Scraper do?

It searches Kakao Map for each keyword that you give it and saves one row for each place that Kakao Map finds:

• Business data: name, category (e.g. 커피전문점), full category path, phone number and homepage
• Location: road-name address (도로명), lot-number address (지번), postal code, floor, latitude and longitude
• Reputation: Kakao Map rating out of 5, rating count and blog review count
• Details: amenities (parking, Wi-Fi, delivery, takeout, reservation, pets, wheelchair access and more), keyword tags, payment options (카카오페이, 제로페이, local currency) and a "newly opened" flag
• Photo: the main photo of the place
• Link: the Kakao Map place page, ready for Kakao Map Reviews Scraper or Kakao Map Building Directory

A keyword with a place name in it, such as 강남 맛집, 판교 치과 or 제주 카페, searches that area the same way the Kakao Map app does. A keyword without a place name, such as 커피, searches all of South Korea.

Because it runs on the Apify platform, you also get API access, scheduling, integrations and run monitoring.

Why scrape Kakao Map search results?

Kakao Map (카카오맵) is one of Korea's two main map apps, and it lists millions of Korean businesses. The official Kakao Local API returns at most 45 places for one keyword search, and the Kakao Map website shows at most 500.

• B2B lead generation: build lists of clinics, academies, restaurants or salons in an area, with phone numbers and addresses.
• Market and location research: count the competitors in a neighborhood and compare their ratings and review counts.
• Franchise and site selection: map every store of a brand or a category before you open a new location.
• Local SEO and listing audits: check how your business and your competitors appear on Kakao Map.
• Datasets for maps and apps: get categorized Korean places with GPS coordinates for your own map, CRM or analysis.

How to scrape Kakao Map search results

1. Type your keywords into Search keywords, one on each line — for example 강남 맛집 or 판교 치과.
2. Set Max places per keyword. Use 0 to get all places.
3. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
4. Open the Output tab to see the places, or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
Search keywords (searchQueries)	Keywords, one on each line, as you type them in Kakao Map	— (required)
Max places per keyword (maxResultsPerQuery)	The maximum number of places for each keyword. 0 gets all	100

Example: the top 100 restaurants in Gangnam

{
    "searchQueries": ["강남 맛집"],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 100
}

Example: all the dentists in three areas

{
    "searchQueries": ["판교 치과", "분당 치과", "수지 치과"],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 0

How to use Kakao Map Search Scraper

You can run the Actor in Apify Console, from your own code through the Apify API, or from an AI assistant. Every example below searches Kakao Map and gives the same rows.

In Apify Console

1. Open the Actor, type 강남 맛집 into Search keywords and set Max places per keyword to 50.
2. Click Start. Watch the progress in the Log tab.
3. Open the Output tab when the run finishes, and click Export to download CSV, Excel or JSON.
4. Click Save as a new task to run the same search again with one click. Add a Schedule to the task to track new places every week or month.

With the Apify API (HTTP)

Run the Actor and get its results in one request. Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token from Settings → API & Integrations in Apify Console.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/hgservices~kakao-map-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries": ["강남 맛집"], "maxResultsPerQuery": 50}'

Add &format=csv or &format=xlsx to the URL to get CSV or Excel instead of JSON. This request waits up to 5 minutes. For larger runs, start the run with POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/hgservices~kakao-map-search-scraper/runs, and then read the items of the run's default dataset when it finishes.

With the JavaScript client

Install the client with npm install apify-client, then run:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('hgservices/kakao-map-search-scraper').call({
    searchQueries: ['강남 맛집', '성수동 카페'],
    maxResultsPerQuery: 200,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const place of items) {
    console.log(place.query, place.name, place.category, place.phone, place.address, place.rating);
}

With the Python client

Install the client with pip install apify-client (version 3.0 or later), then run:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("hgservices/kakao-map-search-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "searchQueries": ["판교 치과", "분당 치과"],
        "maxResultsPerQuery": 0,
    }
)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The run was not found.")

for place in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(place["name"], place["phone"], place["address"], place["rating"], place["ratingCount"])

With Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants (MCP)

Connect your AI assistant to the Apify MCP server. The assistant can then run this Actor for you and answer from the places. To give the assistant this Actor as a tool, use this server URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=hgservices/kakao-map-search-scraper

• Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop): open Settings → Connectors, click Add custom connector and paste the URL.
• Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=hgservices/kakao-map-search-scraper".
• Apify CLI: run apify mcp install claude-code --tools hgservices/kakao-map-search-scraper (also works for cursor, vscode and codex).
• ChatGPT: in Settings → Apps & Connectors, turn on developer mode, create a connector and paste the URL.
• Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients: add the URL as a remote (HTTP) MCP server. The Apify MCP configurator writes the configuration for your client.

Sign in with your Apify account when asked. Then ask in plain language, for example:

• "Find the 50 best-rated cafes in Seongsu-dong on Kakao Map and list them with their phone numbers."
• "How many dentists does Kakao Map list in Pangyo, and which have more than 100 blog reviews?"
• "Get the pharmacies near Gangnam station from Kakao Map as a table with addresses and phone numbers."

With integrations

Send the results to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make, n8n, Airbyte or any webhook from the Actor's Integrations tab. For example, put a fresh list of the clinics in your area into a Google Sheet every month.

Tips

• Add a place name to search one area. 강남 맛집 searches around Gangnam, as in the Kakao Map app. Kakao Map also includes the places near the edge of the area, so you can see some rows from the next district.
• Use more specific keywords for better lead lists. 판교 소아과 gives a more exact list than 판교 병원.
• Use many keywords in one run. Each keyword gets its own rows, and the query field tells them apart. A place that two keywords find appears once for each keyword.
• Get the reviews. Give the url values to Kakao Map Reviews Scraper to get the Kakao Map reviews and blog reviews of each place.
• Give a large run more memory. The default is 1,024 MB. More memory makes a run with thousands of places faster.
• Translate or analyze the data. Names and addresses are in Korean. Connect the Actor to an AI assistant through MCP to translate, summarize or classify the places.

Limits

• More than 500 places come in map order. Kakao Map ranks only the first 500 places of a search. To get more, the Actor searches the map area by area. Then rank is the order in which the Actor found the places, not Kakao Map's ranking. Up to 500 places, rank is Kakao Map's own order.
• A very dense spot can hide some places. When more than 500 places of one keyword share a spot of about 100 × 100 metres, Kakao Map shows only 500 of them, and the run log tells you.
• Very broad keywords are very large. 커피 alone matches more than 150,000 places across Korea. Use Max places per keyword to control the size of the run.
• Ratings need reviews. rating is null until a place has Kakao Map ratings.

Related Actors

• Kakao Map Reviews Scraper gets the Kakao Map reviews and blog reviews of the places that this Actor finds.
• Kakao Map Building Directory lists every business inside a building, shopping mall or office tower, floor by floor.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Do I need a Kakao account, an API key or cookies? No. The Actor reads only what Kakao Map shows to any visitor. It never logs in, so your account is never at risk.

Do I need a proxy? No. You do not need to set up a proxy.

Can I get more than 500 places for one keyword? Yes. Set Max places per keyword to 0 or to a number above 500. In a test run, the Actor got all 2,106 cafes that Kakao Map counts for 성수동 카페, where the Kakao Map website stops at 500.

How fast is it? In a test run with the default 1,024 MB of memory, the Actor got all 2,106 places for 성수동 카페 in less than 7 minutes.

Which places does it find? Any place that the Kakao Map app finds for the same keyword: restaurants, cafes, bars, hospitals and clinics, pharmacies, beauty salons, academies, hotels, shops, offices and more.

Is it legal to scrape Kakao Map? The Actor collects only business information that Kakao Map shows publicly without a login. You are responsible for using the data in line with Kakao's terms of service and with laws such as Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the GDPR. Scrape only what you have a legitimate reason to use.
