## 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 News Scraper

Scrapes news search results from Naver. Extracts article titles, snippets, sources, publication dates, images, and source URLs. Supports pagination, category filtering, optional redirect resolution, and Korean date parsing.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor converts news and article results into clean JSON records that can be downloaded, queried through the Apify API, or sent to downstream workflows.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 48-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

### Use cases

- News monitoring
- Publisher and topic research
- Article-feed enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | `"인공지능"` | The news search query (Korean queries recommended) |
| `startUrls` | array | No | `[]` | Pre-built Naver news search URLs. Takes precedence over 'query'. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of articles to scrape |
| `maxPages` | integer | No | `5` | Maximum number of pagination pages to follow |
| `resolveRedirects` | boolean | No | `true` | Follow Naver news article redirect URLs to get the real article URL |
| `market` | string | No | `"ko-KR"` | Locale tag for the search (e.g. ko-KR) |
| `category` | string | No | `""` | News category filter (e.g. '정치', '경제', '사회', 'IT/과학') |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":true}` | Proxy configuration for the scraper |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "인공지능",
  "maxItems": 30,
  "maxPages": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  },
  "resolveRedirects": true,
  "market": "ko-KR"
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per news article result. The following are the most useful fields; availability can vary by result type and source response.
