Local and cloud runs

apify run --purge --input-file qa-inputs/local-search.json
apify push
apify call <actor-id> --input-file qa-inputs/local-search.json

The Actor uses one consistent Korean desktop browser fingerprint per session, keeps cookies with that session, validates HTTP status/content type, stops at maxPages/maxItems, and distinguishes clean no-results pages from selector drift.

Frequently asked questions

Why use Naver? Naver is the most popular search engine in South Korea. It returns results that other search engines (like Google) may not have, especially for Korean-language content and the Korean market.

How do I get the results? Your results are saved in your Apify dashboard. You can download them in various formats (JSON, CSV, Excel) or access them via the API.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes! Apify supports scheduled runs. You can set up the tool to run automatically at any interval (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.) from your dashboard.

What if I get fewer results than I asked for? This can happen if the search engine doesn't have enough matching results for your search, or if some results are blocked. Try different keywords or relax your filters.
