import getpass

    os.environ["NAVER_CLIENT_ID"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your Naver Client ID:\n")

if not os.environ.get("NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET"):

Use within an agent​

The Naver Search tool can be integrated into LangChain agents for more complex tasks. Below we demonstrate how to set up an agent that can search Naver for current information.

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini")

system_prompt = """
You are a helpful assistant that can search the web for information.
"""
from langchain_naver_community.tool import NaverNewsSearch
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent

tools = [NaverNewsSearch()]

agent_executor = create_react_agent(
    llm,
    tools,
    prompt=system_prompt,
)
API Reference:create_react_agent

Now we can run the agent with a query.

query = "What is the weather in Seoul?"
result = agent_executor.invoke({"messages": [("human", query)]})
result["messages"][-1].content
