Use Cases

• Market Research: Analyze consumer reviews and place data for specific keywords or products
• Trend Analysis: Track popular topics and keywords over time
• Restaurant/Place Collection: Automatically extract place names, addresses, phone numbers, and GPS coordinates from blog reviews
• Competitor Analysis: Monitor online sentiment about competing brands
• Influencer Discovery: Find influential bloggers in specific niches
• Content Analysis: Analyze patterns of images, videos, and external links in posts

Limitations

• Naver Search API daily limit: 25,000 calls
• Max search results per keyword: 1,000. Naver's search API counts other blog platforms (tistory, etc.) toward its 1,000 results, which this actor filters out; when that leaves fewer Naver blog posts than maxResults, the rest are taken from Naver's blog search (Naver posts only) and ranked after the API's results
• Private cafe posts cannot be scraped. Members-only posts (listed from a cafe, or given as direct URLs) come back with title, author, date and counts only (no body); the run log and SUMMARY.restrictedCafePosts report how many. Set skipMembersOnlyPosts to get readable posts instead
• The date range applies to keyword searches and blog/cafe listings, not to individual post URLs. Cafe search results carry no date, so they are filtered after scraping and can number fewer than maxResults
• Sponsorship detection reads the post text only: a disclosure posted only as an image banner is not detected, so sponsored: false means no disclosure was found in the text, not that the post is organic
• Blog comments may not be available for some posts due to Naver's access restrictions
• Some content may be restricted due to Naver's access control policies
