search_places_by_category
List places in a Kakao category (e.g. all cafes within 500m of a coordinate). Useful when you don't have a keyword but want every cafe / restaurant / convenience store nearby. Requires either (x, y, radius) or `rect`.
geocode_address
Takes a Korean address (jibun or road-name form) and returns the matching coordinates plus normalized address fields.
reverse_geocode
Look up the street address (jibun + road-name) for a WGS84 coordinate.
lookup_region_by_coord
Returns both legal (법정동) and administrative (행정동) district names for a coordinate. Useful for 'which dong/gu/si does this point belong to'.
transform_coordinates
Translate (x, y) from one Korean coordinate system to another (WGS84, TM, KTM, UTM, BESSEL, WKTM, WUTM, CONGNAMUL, WCONGNAMUL).
