Python client for Korean public real estate APIs

korea-real-estate

한국 공공 부동산 데이터 Python 클라이언트

Thin Python HTTP client for Korean government real estate and property APIs. Returns raw parsed dicts — no transformation, no models.

---

What It Is

This client wraps Korea's public real estate APIs into a single Python interface. It covers:

• Land & building transactions — sale and lease prices by region and month
• Permits & zoning — building permits, land-use classifications, zoning records
• Appraised & standard prices — government-assessed and publicly announced land values
• REITs — company listings, investment targets, fundraising, AMC records
• Onbid / KAMCO auctions — property listings, bid results, regional statistics
• Government property — national asset sales/lease, relocation property, reserve inventory
• Transit — most-used transit routes by city
• Address resolution — Korean road/jibun address lookup (도로명주소)
• Price index — REB real estate price index (한국부동산원)
• Regional datasets — municipal-level broker registries, tax records, land/permit records

All methods return the raw API response as a Python dict (XML responses are parsed via xmltodict).

Installation

pip install korea-real-estate

Python 3.11+ required.

API Keys

You need one key per data source, not per endpoint.

Source	Env Var	What It Covers
data.go.kr	PUBLIC_DATA_API_KEY	Land/building/commercial transactions, permits, zoning, prices, REITs, Onbid, KAMCO, regional data
NSDI	NSDI_API_KEY	Individual appraised land price
REB (한국부동산원)	REB_API_KEY	Real estate price index
Juso (도로명주소)	JUSO_API_KEY	Address resolution

To get a data.go.kr key: create an account, search for an API, click 활용신청, then find your key under 마이페이지 → 오픈API 활용현황. The key covers all data.go.kr endpoints.

.env:

PUBLIC_DATA_API_KEY=your_key_here
NSDI_API_KEY=your_key_here
REB_API_KEY=your_key_here
JUSO_API_KEY=your_key_here

Quick Start

from korea_realestate import KoreaRealEstateClient

client = KoreaRealEstateClient()

# Land sale transactions for one region and month
data = client.public_data.land_trade_history(region_code="42820", year_month="202501")

# Navigate the raw response
items = data["response"]["body"]["items"]["item"]

# Apartment lease records
data = client.public_data.apartment_rent_history(region_code="11230", year_month="202501")

# Address lookup
data = client.juso.address_lookup(keyword="강원도 고성군 대진리 123")
results = data["results"]["juso"]

# Real estate price index
data = client.reb.real_estate_price_index(
    region_code="42820",
    index_type="land",
    start_year_month="202401",
    end_year_month="202412",
)
