Naver News Search

Search Korean news articles using the Naver Search API.

Quick Start

Use the provided script to search news:

python scripts/search_news.py "검색어" --display 10 --sort date

Options:

• --display N: Number of results per page (1-100, default: 10)
• --start N: Start position for pagination (1-1000, default: 1)
• --sort sim|date: Sort by relevance (sim) or date (date, default: date)
• --after DATETIME: Only show news published after this time (ISO 8601 format, e.g., 2026-01-29T09:00:00+09:00)
• --min-results N: Minimum number of results to fetch (enables auto-pagination)
• --max-pages N: Maximum number of pages to try when auto-paginating (default: 5)
• --json: Output raw JSON instead of formatted text

Setup

Environment Variables

Required credentials from https://developers.naver.com/:

NAVER_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Configuration locations:

• Sandbox (default): Add to agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.env in OpenClaw config
• Host: Add to env.vars in OpenClaw config

Getting API Credentials

1. Visit https://developers.naver.com/
2. Register an application
3. Enable "검색" (Search) API
4. Copy Client ID and Client Secret
5. Add credentials to appropriate config section (see above)

Common Use Cases

Latest news on a topic

python scripts/search_news.py "AI 인공지능" --display 20 --sort date

Search with relevance ranking

python scripts/search_news.py "삼성전자" --sort sim

Filter by time (only recent news)

# News published after 9 AM today
python scripts/search_news.py "경제" --display 50 --sort sim --after "2026-01-29T09:00:00+09:00"

# News from the last hour (programmatic use)
python scripts/search_news.py "속보" --after "$(date -u -d '1 hour ago' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')"

Auto-pagination for guaranteed minimum results

# Fetch at least 30 results (automatically requests multiple pages if needed)
python scripts/search_news.py "AI" --sort sim --after "2026-01-29T09:00:00+09:00" --min-results 30 --display 50

# Limit to 3 pages maximum
python scripts/search_news.py "게임" --min-results 50 --max-pages 3

How auto-pagination works:

1. Fetches first page (e.g., 50 results)
2. Applies date filter (e.g., 10 results remain)
3. If below --min-results, automatically fetches next page
4. Stops when minimum is reached or --max-pages limit hit

Pagination for more results

# First 10 results
python scripts/search_news.py "경제" --display 10 --start 1

# Next 10 results
python scripts/search_news.py "경제" --display 10 --start 11

Using in Python Code

Import and use the search function directly:

from scripts.search_news import search_news

result = search_news(
    query="경제 뉴스",
    display=10,
    sort="date"
)

for item in result["items"]:
    print(item["title"])
    print(item["description"])
    print(item["link"])
