start This parameter controls the offset of the organic results. This parameter defaults to 1 (except for the web).
(e.g. The formula for all searches except the web is start = (page number * 10) - 9
e.g. Page number 3 (3 * 10) - 9 = 21)
The formula for the web will be start = (page number * 15) - 29
e.g. Page number 3 (3 * 15) - 29 = 16.

page The page parameter does the start parameter math for you! Just define the page number you want. Pagination starts from 1.

num Parameter defines the maximum number of results to return. 50 (default) returns 50 results. The maximum number of results to return is 100.
The parameter can only be used with Naver Images API.
