Available in Classic and VPC
We provide Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs) so that you can effectively use the services and solutions provided by NAVER Cloud Platform. Depending on the action, you can enter parameter values and use registration, modification, deletion, and query features, and you can also utilize them to automate services and operational tools. In general, they can be broadly categorized into basic APIs, compatible APIs, and integration APIs in the form of API URLs that respond in XML and JSON formats.
Various APIs provided by NAVER Cloud Platform
The following describes the three types of API provided by NAVER Cloud Platform.
- Basic APIs: NAVER Cloud Platform APIs (Ncloud APIs) that can utilize some services of NAVER Cloud Platform, meaning all APIs except for compatible APIs and integration APIs.
- Compatible APIs: NAVER Cloud Platform APIs that are compatible with third-party APIs. Examples include the Ncloud Storage API and Object Storage API, which are compatible with AWS S3, and the Archive Storage API, which is compatible with OpenStack Swift.
- Integration APIs: APIs that allow you to easily utilize NAVER's artificial intelligence services and application services with simplified calls. Examples include CLOVA, Papago, and Maps APIs.

Before reading the API guide, you can quickly resolve your questions by reading the answers to frequently asked questions. If you haven't found the answer to your question in the FAQ below, then search the API guide for what you would like to know.
Q. How should I use APIs?
A. Check the access key and secret key of the created authentication key and add them to the header value used when calling the API. For more information, see the API Guide.
Q. Where can I find the created API authentication key?
A. The API authentication key can be found in Manage account > Manage authentication key in the My Page menu that appears after logging in to the NAVER Cloud Platform portal. For more information on how to use Manage authentication key, see Ncloud API.
Q. How can I check related operations that use a specific API data type?
A. Enter the related operation in the search box provided in the API guide and check the search results.
Q. Will I be charged if I call another user's API?
A. The user who registered the API will be charged, not the user who calls the API.
Q. I can't find a service category called AI·NAVER API in the NAVER Cloud Platform portal.
A. The NAVER Cloud Platform portal only categorizes NAVER's artificial intelligence services and application services into AI Services and Application Services according to the nature of the service for user understanding. On the other hand, the console is categorized into three categories for ease of use: AI Services, Application Services, and AI·NAVER API.
Q. If I get an error when requesting an Open API, what is the cause?
A. It may be an API Gateway authentication error or an error in the service. If it is an API Gateway authentication error, see the API Gateway's API Guide to make sure there are no issues with signature creation, request headers, or server time synchronization. If the error is not an API Gateway authentication error, see the API guide for that service. If you have checked all the causes and the Open API error still occurs, please contact us by clicking the Support > Support center > Contact us menu on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal.
