# Naver News Search
Search Korean news articles using the Naver Search API.
## Quick Start
Use the provided script to search news:
```bash
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/:
```bash
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
```bash
python scripts/search_news.py "AI 인공지능" --display 20 --sort date
```
### Search with relevance ranking
```bash
python scripts/search_news.py "삼성전자" --sort sim
```
### Filter by time (only recent news)
```bash
# 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
```bash
# 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
```bash
# 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:
```python
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"])
```
