# Naver Place Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/naver/place-search)

> Returns the Naver Map place list for a keyword, as a person at one point sees it: organic places first in Naver's own order, each with `place.ext.rank` (1-based), then the paid 플레이스 광고 slots with `place.ext.is_ad: true` and `place.ext.ad_rank`. Each place carries its id (chains into GET /v1/naver/place and /v1/naver/place/reviews), name, category, address, phone, coordinates, distance from the point in metres, open status, visitor and blog review counts, and booking link. Naver ranks by distance from the person searching: send `lat` and `lng` for the point, or the search is made from Gangnam Station. Ad slots are returned only with `ads=true`. If the main list cannot be read, the call is answered from a second Naver list: the first 30 places, without distance, open status or ad slots.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/naver/place/search` costs 4 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
