webtoon_search
Search WEBTOON's public catalogue by keyword and return the matching series grouped into the site's own ORIGINALS and CANVAS sections, with each card's title_no, title, authors, genre path segment, absolute URL, thumbnail, WEBTOON's own view counter, UP badge, adult flag and normalised webtoon_type. Use this when you have a title or creator name but no title_no yet, then pass the returned title_no to webtoon_series for episode metadata; choose webtoon_genre, webtoon_originals or webtoon_rankings instead when browsing a whole genre, release day or chart rather than matching a word. scope selects the site's own tab: the default all is a preview of at most 12 cards per section, so page numbers above 1 are rejected there, while scope=originals or scope=canvas serve up to 30 cards per page and return an empty sections list past the last page. A zero-result answer is valid, not an error; search cards carry no genre label, so genre is the hyphenated href path segment (map it through webtoon_genres for webtoon_genre) and is empty for canvas cards.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | Optional 1-based results page, default 1. Only originals and canvas are pageable: each serves up to 30 cards per page, and a page past the end returns an empty result rather than an error. A page above 1 with scope=all is rejected because that combined view's own paging skips records. | |
| scope | No | Optional search scope, one of: all (default, the site's combined preview), originals or canvas. Use originals or canvas to page results; the combined view previews at most 12 cards per section and cannot be paged. | |
| keyword | Yes | Required keyword to search series titles and creators for. It is trimmed before use; a blank or whitespace-only keyword is rejected because WEBTOON answers that with its generic search landing page rather than results. |
