Yandex Scraper for Rankings, Ads and Answers in Every Region

Yandex picks the blocks on every results page per query and reranks by city, so this Yandex scraper records each region, device, ad slot and answer block instead of one national top ten.

Your Own Yandex SERP API, Run by ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt runs the Yandex job end to end. We capture the full results page and parse it, so ads and quick answers arrive as typed rows next to organic ranks. Keyword lists can carry Yandex search operators such as site:, rhost: or date: when a narrower slice is needed. Anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the service. We extract Yandex data into one schema per keyword, region code, device and capture time, served from an endpoint you call or dropped on a schedule.

A sample extract comes first, so fields and coverage are agreed before the full run. Delivery is CSV, JSON or XLSX, to S3, SFTP or your warehouse.

What a Yandex Search Scraper Captures on Each Page

A Yandex search scraper is judged on the blocks around the links as much as on the links. This is what each part of the page carries.

  • Organic results. Position, title with the query words highlighted, destination URL, favicon, the site address printed as a breadcrumb path for inner pages, the snippet, and a publication date where Yandex shows one. Snippets are rewritten per query, and one that reads Links to this page contain means the words appear only in anchors pointing at the page. Yandex normally shows no more than two documents from one site.
  • Sitelinks and address snippets. Sitelinks appear only for pages in the top five. An address snippet with street and phone needs a top 30 position and a Yandex Business profile.
  • Yandex Direct ads. The premium placement block above the results, remaining impressions in the middle or at the bottom, dynamic placements that Yandex is testing inside the organic list for users in Russia, up to two product gallery carousels on a desktop page, a search banner on the right, and paid spots in the first four places of the organization list on ya.ru. Each ad carries a mark, and counting the paid slots above the first organic card turns a position into a visibility figure.
  • Quick answers and wizards. Text, image or phone number answers above or beside the results, related questions inside the list, and topic formats for flights, hotels, recipes, films, vacancies and investments. For searchers in Russia some quick answers are written by YandexGPT.
  • AI and object answers. A generated answer with source links above the results, Alice AI on the Russian search and Yandex AI on yandex.com, plus object answers, the entity cards Yandex compiles from several sources.
  • Commerce blocks. Prices in shops, Popular products and unified product cards, an OK price badge where Yandex compared the same model across shops in the searcher's region, and a Buy in 1 click button.
  • Page furniture. Related searches under the list, vertical tabs, confirmation marks for government sites, regulated financial firms and verified social profiles, and the pager, which counts pages from zero in its p parameter.

Our Yandex Search API and Yandex Wordstat API: Fields and Pricing

Our Yandex Search API and Yandex Wordstat API: Fields and Pricing

The ScrapeIt Yandex Search API returns the rows described above - keyword, region code, device, block type, position and capture time, with titles, URLs, snippets, Yandex Direct ads, quick answers and object answers - as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. Access is by a Yandex Search API key we issue, and Yandex Search API docs for every field come with the dataset.

The Yandex Wordstat API on our side returns how often each phrase is typed by month, week or day and by region, so rank series can be weighted by real search volume.

Is the Yandex Search API free to try? The project assessment is free, and a sample extract can be ordered before the full run. Yandex Search API pricing then follows your plan: plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

How Yandex Search Results Are Assembled, Region by Region

A Yandex scraper works against a search engine that makes two decisions for every query: which documents rank, and which blocks the page gets around them. Yandex runs its international search on yandex.com with an English interface and its Russian search on ya.ru and yandex.ru, and links sister sites at yandex.com.tr, yandex.kz, yandex.by and yandex.uz. That split gives six search types: Russian, Turkish, international, Kazakh, Belarusian and Uzbek.

The ranking is Yandex's own. Every change to the algorithm is judged on two in-house metrics: Proxima, a page quality score built on assessor ratings and other signals, and Proficit, a usefulness score built on how people interact with the results. Proficit also sets the layout. The set and order of blocks on a page are chosen to maximize its predicted value, so two neighboring queries can come back with different skeletons, and Yandex states that results are never reordered by hand.

Geography is the second axis. The lr parameter carries a numeric region ID, and even the search box on the home page submits a hidden lr field. For location-dependent queries such as taxi or buy iphone, Yandex takes a site's assigned region into account, so one keyword can return different organic results in Moscow (213) and Novosibirsk (65). Yandex search data without the region code attached is missing its most important column.

Why a Yandex Rank Tracker Needs Captured Pages

Yandex Webmaster is free and useful, and its limits are the reason agencies buy a Yandex rank tracker. It covers only sites you have added and verified, counts impressions and clicks only down to position 50, builds its popular-query view from the top three thousand queries of the last three months, and reports position as a daily average. It never shows a competitor, and it never shows the page.

The page is where Yandex moves. Because blocks are arranged per query to maximize Proficit, a keyword can hold its organic position while a product gallery, a quick answer or a generated answer pushes the first organic card below the fold. Desktop and mobile run different ranking formulas and even report different result counts, and location-dependent queries reshuffle by region. A captured page per keyword, region code and device is the only record of that, and a stored series is the only way to date a change.

Demand is the third input. Wordstat, the Yandex keyword statistics service, shows how often each phrase is typed by month, week or day and by region, so rank series can be weighted by real volume and Yandex keyword research stops relying on guesses. Its figures can lag by up to a month, so a fresh launch shows on the results page first. Rows describe pages, ads and blocks; names or contact details of private people are not part of the extract.

Yandex Scraping With ScrapeIt, Scoped Before Code

ScrapeIt is a managed data collection agency. We design the collectors, host them, patch them when Yandex reshapes a block, and hand your team files that load without cleanup. There is no parser for you to maintain and no proxy pool to rent.

Scoping comes before code. We price the job by the regions, devices and blocks you actually report on.

FAQ

Do you offer a Yandex API for search results?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Yandex API returns organic positions, titles, URLs and snippets, Yandex Direct ads, quick answers and object answers as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed on the schedule you set. The same data also comes as CSV or XLSX files or straight into your database.

Do you offer a Yandex Wordstat API?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Yandex Wordstat API returns Yandex search statistics from Wordstat: counts and share of all queries by month or week back to January 2018 and by day for the last 60 days, a regional split with an affinity index, and top and similar phrases for the last 30 days. It comes as JSON from an endpoint we host, or as CSV or XLSX files, refreshed on the schedule you set.

Which Yandex regions and search types can you target?

Any region in the tree Yandex publishes. The lr parameter takes numeric region codes for countries, federal subjects and cities: 225 Russia, 1 Moscow and Moscow Region, 213 Moscow, 2 Saint Petersburg, 43 Kazan, 65 Novosibirsk, 159 Kazakhstan, 149 Belarus. Desktop and mobile run as separate jobs because Yandex ranks them with different formulas.

How often can a Yandex rank tracker feed be refreshed?

Daily is the usual cadence for a keyword list, hourly for a short watchlist around a launch or a sale. Every row carries keyword, region code, device, block type, position and capture time, and a one-off Yandex rank checker export uses the same shape.

Is it legal to scrape Yandex search results?

Yes. We collect only publicly available Yandex search data - everything a visitor sees on the Yandex SERP, from organic positions, titles, URLs and snippets to Yandex Direct ads, quick answers and object answers - and we collect it legally. No personal data goes into the rows.
