Call limits
Q. What is the call limit of the NAVER Search API?
A. The API call limit in the NAVER Search category is integrated and managed comprehensively, with a maximum limit of 775,000 calls per month. The call limit is managed on a monthly basis, not a daily basis.
Q. What is the call limit of Data Lab (search keyword trends and shopping insights)?
A. The call limit for search keyword trends and shopping insights is 50,000 calls per month each. We recommend checking your expected usage before use.
Q. What is the rate limit (maximum requests per second)?
A. A maximum of 50 RPS applies per API key. The total platform limit by API type is 1,000 RPS for NAVER Search and 500 RPS for Data Lab (search keyword trends and shopping insights). If you exceed the limit, 429 Too many requests is returned. If the RPS limit is exceeded, a 429 error is returned; once the RPS falls below the limit and 1 second passes, normal communication resumes.
Q. What happens if the monthly call limit is fully reached?
A. Calls are automatically blocked once the monthly limit is reached. An email notification is sent whenever usage reaches 50%, 80%, and 100% before calls are blocked.
Q. Can the call limit be increased?
A. The call limit cannot be increased during the temporary free trial period.
Q. If the same API key is shared across multiple services, are the call limits combined?
A. Yes, call volumes are combined based on the same API key.
Data Lab (search keyword trends and shopping insights)
Q. Do I need to apply separately or have a separate key issued for search keyword trends and shopping insights?
A. You can select both APIs within a single application and call them using a single API key. However, because the 2 APIs have different endpoints and request parameters, you must implement the call codes separately; the monthly call limits (50,000 calls each) are also calculated separately for each API.
Q. How many keywords can be compared at once when viewing search keyword trends?
A. You can query up to 5 groups per request and up to 5 keywords per group.
Q. What is the available data period for querying in Data Lab?
A. You can query data from January 1, 2016 onward.
