## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Naver Map Scraper - Korean Local Business Data

**Google Maps barely covers South Korea. Naver does.** If you need Korean business data - leads, competitors, locations - Naver Place is where it actually lives, and this actor pulls it out by simple keyword search.

Type `강남 카페` (Gangnam cafes), get every cafe in the district with **phone numbers, addresses, review counts, ratings and coordinates** in a clean spreadsheet. No login, no Naver account, no Korean required.

***

### What you get per business

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| name | 트키 도산 |
| category | 카페,디저트 (cafe, dessert) |
| roadAddress | 도산대로45길 10-2 |
| **phone** | 0507-1370-2654 |
| visitorReviewCount | 692 |
| blogCafeReviewCount | 942 |
| saveCount | 62,000 |
| visitorReviewScore | 4.42 |
| businessHours | opening hours when published |
| hasBooking / bookingUrl | Naver Booking link |
| latitude / longitude | 37.5230970 / 127.0359807 |
| naverUrl | direct link to the place page |

\~25 fields per record. Export as **JSON, CSV or Excel** in one click, or pull straight from the API.

### What people use it for

**Lead generation** - Build a call list of every pilates studio in Pangyo, every clinic in Busan, every cafe in Gangnam. Phone numbers included, so your sales team can start dialing the same day.

**Market entry research** - Before you launch in Korea, see exactly how many competitors operate in a district, how many reviews they have, and how they cluster on the map. `강남 카페` alone returns 9,228 businesses.

**Competitive monitoring** - Track review counts and ratings over time by re-running the same keywords weekly.

**Location intelligence** - Every record ships with latitude/longitude, ready for mapping, heatmaps and territory planning.

**AI and analytics pipelines** - Feed structured Korean local data into your own product, dashboard or model.

### How to use it

1. Enter one or more **search queries**, exactly as you would type them into Naver Map
2. Set **max results per query** (up to 1,000)
3. Run it. Results land in the dataset - download or hit the API

**Keyword tips**

- The winning pattern is `[district] + [category]`: `강남 카페`, `판교 필라테스`, `부산 치과`
- Korean keywords return noticeably more complete results than English. Not a Korean speaker? Paste your keyword into any translator first - `Gangnam` is `강남`, `dentist` is `치과`
- To cover a whole city, run several district-level queries in a single input

### Why this actor

- **Deep results, not just page one** - collects hundreds of businesses per keyword, not the 20 you see on the first screen
- **Clean, typed output** - review counts as numbers, one phone field, a direct Naver link on every record
- **Works across every category** - restaurants, cafes, clinics, gyms, salons, studios, shops
- **Polite by default** - built-in request delay and retries, public data only, no login or cookies

### FAQ

**Do I need a Naver account?** No. The actor reads public search results only - no login, no cookies.

**Do I have to speak Korean?** No. Translate your keyword once and you are set. All output fields are in English keys; business names and addresses come back in Korean, exactly as Naver lists them.

**How many results can I get?** Up to 1,000 per keyword. Popular keywords have far more businesses available on Naver - split by district to go deeper.

**Can I run it on a schedule?** Yes. Use Apify Schedules to re-run weekly and track how review counts move.

**Is scraping this data legal?** The actor collects only publicly listed business information - the same details any visitor sees on map.naver.com - at a polite request rate. You are responsible for how you use the data, including compliance with applicable laws and Naver's terms.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
