Korea Price Comparison (Danawa) - Lowest Price, Specs, Price Drops | Naver Shopping Alternative

Korea price comparison (가격비교) data from Danawa (다나와), Korea's #1 price-comparison site for electronics and appliances. This Danawa scraper returns the lowest price in Korea (다나와 최저가) across shops for any product keyword, plus the number of shops, rating, review count, maker and model, structured specs with English keys, English category names, and price changes vs your previous run. If you were looking for a Naver Shopping price scraper or Naver Shopping API alternative: Naver's shopping search API ended on 2026-07-31 and Naver Shopping pages disallow crawling, so Danawa's public search pages are the practical, robots.txt-respecting source for Korean price comparison.

Live-tested on Apify: YES (2026-10-29). 80 product rows with all fields filled from the public search page.

Why this actor

• A Naver Shopping alternative for prices: Korean lowest price, shop count and price history without touching Naver Shopping.
• Price-comparison data, not a single shop: lowestPriceKrw is the minimum across shopCount shops.
• Specs as data: Danawa's spec line (e.g. 수조용량: 4.0L / 연속사용: 8시간 / 소비전력: 680W) is parsed into specs (Korean keys) and specsEn (tankCapacity, continuousUseTime, powerConsumption and more).
• Price tracking: previousLowestPriceKrw and priceChangeKrw vs the last run. Schedule it daily for a price-drop feed.
• Respectful: honors Danawa's robots.txt Crawl-delay: 10 (1 page every 10 s, single request).

Output

Example (illustrative values), one product on a first run:

{
  "keyword": "가습기", "rank": 1, "productCode": "124298665", "productName": "조지루시 STAN EE-FAH50K",
  "maker": "조지루시", "makerRomanized": "Jojirusi", "brand": null, "modelName": "EE-FAH50K",

}

On later runs with trackHistory on, previousLowestPriceKrw holds the last run's price and priceChangeKrw the difference (negative = price drop). priceNote is set when Danawa shows a non-standard price type, such as 출시가 (launch price).

Pages used

• https://search.danawa.com/?query=...&page=...&sort=...: the public search page (allowed by robots.txt). Data is read from the Next.js server-component payload embedded in the HTML, with the schema.org ItemList as a fallback (names and URLs only).

Limitations

• 40 products per page, and slow by design (10 s per page because of the robots crawl-delay).
• No per-shop offer list and no reviews (the product detail page is out of scope for v0.1).
• Adult-only products are skipped.
• Spec values are kept in Korean. Only the keys are translated, from a static map.
• This is an unofficial integration and may break if Danawa changes its site. The run warns when the fallback parser was used.

API keys

None. This actor reads public pages only, takes no credentials and stores none.

Pricing (pay per event)

• product-result: $3.00 per 1,000 product results (includes English spec keys and price change vs your previous run).
• Actor start: Apify's synthetic apify-actor-start event, a fraction of a cent per run.
• Platform usage is included. You pay only the event prices above; the Apify compute of the run is not billed to you separately.
• Set Max total charge for a run to cap spend; the actor stops early when it is reached.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or a Danawa account? No. The actor reads Danawa's public search pages, with no login and no key.

How fresh is the data? Each run loads the search pages live, so prices are Danawa's lowest prices at the moment of the run. Nothing is cached except the last price per product, which is used for priceChangeKrw.

Can I schedule it daily? Yes, and that is the main use: with an Apify Schedule and trackHistory on, every run reports price changes since the previous run, which gives you a daily Korean price-drop feed.

What does a typical run cost? One page of 40 products costs about $0.12. 100 product results cost about $0.30. The example input above (2 keywords, 2 pages each, up to 160 products) costs at most about $0.48.

Is this legal, and where does the data come from? The data comes from Danawa's public search pages, which robots.txt allows, fetched at the crawl-delay Danawa asks for. No login, no personal data. It is not affiliated with Danawa or Naver; you are responsible for how you use the results.
