NAVER Social APIs

API

NAVER's social integration tools for login, sharing, and engagement

Overview

NAVER Social APIs offer RESTful endpoints for NAVER Login (user authentication), social sharing, and interactive plugins (Like, Comment). Using OAuth 2.0 for secure access, responses are in JSON format. Ideal for services targeting Korean users, key use cases include authenticating users across apps/websites, adding Share on NAVER buttons, and embedding plugins to boost engagement. Developers can access consented user profile data, with detailed documentation supporting web and mobile integration. Basic usage is free, while advanced features may require paid plans.
