To create an application, you must agree to the AI·NAVER API terms of service in the NAVER Cloud Platform console. The AI·NAVER API terms of service contain the rights and obligations of the user, usage restrictions and pricing information, and special terms and conditions, so you must check them before using Maps.

To agree to the AI·NAVER API's terms of service to use Maps:

1. Access the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
2. Click Region & Platform in the upper-right corner of the console interface.
3. Select the region and platform you are using, and click [Apply].

Register application

You must register the application after agreeing to the API terms of service. An application is required for the use of Maps API. Once you register an application, a unique client ID and a client secret value are created per application. You must apply the authentication key to the Maps API to receive authentication for using NAVER Maps.

To register an application:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to > Services > AI·NAVER API > AI·NAVER API.
2. Click the Application menu.

     • Up to 10 web service URLs that begin with http:// can be entered.
     • No difference between http and https. Enter excluding www. Example: http://naver.com
     • Enter the main domain only even if there are subdomains.
     • If information of the service URL differs from the web used, the authentication may fail.
     • For hybrid apps, enter location.href object outputs. Example: file://local URL
   • Android app package name
     • For Android applications only, up to 10 can be entered.
     • If the entered package name differs from the package name of the app in use, the authentication may fail.
   • iOS Bundle ID
     • For iOS applications only, up to 10 can be entered.
     • If the registered bundle ID differs from the information of the app used, the authentication may fail.
   Note

   • When selecting Web Dynamic Map, a web service URL should be entered. If not entered, the application registration will not be completed.
   • When selecting Mobile Dynamic Map, an Android app package name or iOS Bundle ID must be entered. Some restrictions may apply on using the SDK if it is not provided.
   • When selecting Static Map, a web service URL should be entered. Some restrictions may apply on using the API if it is not provided.
   • The client ID and secret value issued for 1 application may be applied to multiple environments including Android, iOS, web, and Windows App. However, the API usage is added up by each client ID.
