Daum Kakao Search Scraper

What does Daum Search Scraper do?

Daum Search Scraper extracts public search results from Daum Search (search.daum.net), Kakao’s Korean search engine. Paste a search URL and export rank, title, result URL, display URL, snippet, and collection (뉴스, 블로그, 웹문서).

No Daum or Kakao account and no coding. Run it on the Apify platform to schedule crawls, export JSON, CSV, or Excel, and pull results through the API.

Why scrape Daum Kakao search results?

Daum is a major discovery surface in South Korea, separate from Google and Naver. SEO teams, agencies, and market researchers use it to see how a query ranks on Kakao’s SERP.

• Korea SERP tracking — Store ranks for branded and non-branded Korean (and English) queries on Daum.
• Share-of-voice — Compare which domains appear for a keyword across 뉴스, 블로그, and 웹문서.
• Snippet research — Capture titles and source labels Daum actually shows.
• Local vs global — Check how Daum results differ from Google.com or Naver.
• Content gaps — Find pages that rank on Daum but not in your own list.
• Monitoring — Schedule the Actor and diff datasets over time.
• Reporting — Feed rank, URL, and snippet into Sheets, Looker, or a rank-tracking warehouse.

How to scrape Daum Search

1. Open Daum Search Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Add one or more start URLs. The default is https://search.daum.net/search?w=tot&q=seoul.
3. Set Maximum items (results per start URL). Use a small number for a test, then raise it for a full export.
4. Run the Actor and download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Copy the URL from Daum Search after you type a query. Integrated (w=tot) and web (w=fusion) result pages both work. Paste that URL into Start URLs. The Actor follows later pages until it reaches Maximum items.

What data can you extract from Daum Search?

Field	Description
position	Rank in the run for that start URL
title	Result title
url	Destination URL
displayUrl	Visible display URL
snippet	Source / collection label when Daum shows one
collection	뉴스, 블로그, 웹문서, or null
imageUrl	Result thumbnail when it is not a repeated site logo
query	Search query from the start URL
page	Result page number
searchUrl	Start URL that produced the row

How much does it cost to scrape Daum Search?

The Actor uses a lightweight HTTP crawl and does not use a proxy by default, so compute stays low. You pay for each result saved to the dataset (pay per result), plus a small start fee. A short test with the default maximum of 5 results is enough to confirm the fields before a larger export.

You can schedule runs, send results to Google Sheets or webhooks, and call the Actor through the Apify API. The same dataset is available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

Input

Start URLs, Maximum items (per start URL), and an optional proxy configuration. The default proxy setting is off. See the Input tab for the form.

Supported start URLs:

• Integrated search: https://search.daum.net/search?w=tot&q=seoul
• Web results: https://search.daum.net/search?w=fusion&q=seoul

maxItems applies per start URL. Two queries with a maximum of 20 can return up to 40 results.

Output

You can download the dataset extracted by Daum Search Scraper in JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Daum Search?

This Actor collects public search result cards shown on Daum Search. It does not log in and it does not collect mail, KakaoTalk, or account data. Use the data only when you have a legitimate reason, and get advice if you are unsure.

Do I need a Daum or Kakao account?

No. The Actor reads public search pages only.

Why are some snippets empty?

Daum does not always show a description on the integrated (w=tot) page. Empty snippet fields are expected for those rows.

Can I export more than one page?

Yes. Raise Maximum items. The Actor requests &p=2 (and further pages) when page 1 produced unique results and the limit is not reached. Integrated tot pages often pack many unique documents on page 1.

Where can I get help?

Open the Issues tab on the Actor page if a URL returns nothing or a field looks wrong.
