FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a Korean address to geographic coordinates?

Address to coordinate conversion is handled by querying the Kakao Local API with a target address string. This Skill sends the request and returns precise latitude and longitude coordinates for deterministic address resolution.

What's the best way to find the human-readable address for a set of coordinates in Korea?

Coordinate to address conversion is performed through reverse geocoding via the Kakao Local API. You provide the geographic coordinates, and the Skill returns the corresponding human-readable street address.

Can I search for nearby points of interest by keyword and filter by category or distance?

Keyword place search allows you to discover nearby points of interest using the Kakao Local API. You can filter results by category group, proximity distance, and apply sorting to refine your location discovery.

Do I need an API key to perform location search and reverse geocoding with Kakao Maps?

Location search requires the KAKAO_REST_API_KEY environment variable and the kakao-cli tool to access the Kakao Local API. You must configure both prerequisites before executing address lookup or coordinate conversion tasks.

What is the process for planning a trip using geocoding and place discovery?

Geocoding and place discovery start by converting your destination address to coordinates, then executing a keyword place search for nearby amenities. This workflow yields a mapped list of proximate points of interest for trip planning.
