Naver Cloud Platform Map’s API

The Naver Maps Open API will be discontinued as of April 15, 2019.

To keep using the service, you need to get a new key issued from the Naver Cloud Platform. No other work is required—you just need to swap the key. As in the example below, all you have to do is change the GET parameter in the URL.
