Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • Usage is billed through a third-party Apify account and grows with the number of pages requested

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill calls the Apify actor johnvc/Scrape-Yandex in its images-vertical mode. One text query returns structured results: the original full-size image URL, the source page, a thumbnail and the domain, with filters by type, color, orientation, file format, exact size, site and recency. It is built for collecting image datasets and sourcing pictures from Russian-language sites. A companion skill for regular Yandex web search installs separately the same way.

Who it is for. For those collecting image datasets or sourcing full-size pictures from Russian-language sites without an official Yandex key.

Good fit when

  • You need full-size image URLs, not just thumbnails
  • You need filtering by color, orientation, exact size or a specific site
  • You are collecting an image dataset from Russian-language sources

Not a fit when

  • You need reverse image search by picture rather than by text: the author has a separate Reverse Image Search actor for that
  • You need the official Yandex Search API guarantees, not a third-party scraper

Example request

Find 20 square high-resolution images of a winter forest from Russian-language sites

Limitations

It runs through a third-party paid Apify actor, not the official Yandex Images API. An Apify account and an APIFY_TOKEN are required. Billing is a small per-run fee plus a per-page fee.

How to disable. Delete the apify-yandex-image-search-api folder from your agent's skills directory.

FAQ

Does it only return thumbnails?

No, every result includes the original full-size image URL, not just a preview.

Do I need a Yandex key?

No, the skill goes through a third-party Apify actor; no Yandex key is needed, but an Apify token is.

# Yandex Image Search API: Full-Size Image URLs as JSON

A Yandex image search API built on the Yandex Images vertical. One text query returns structured image results: the original full-size image URL, the page hosting it, a thumbnail, and the source, with filters for type, color, orientation, file type, exact dimensions, site, and recency.

- They are collecting an image dataset for research, ML, or content work.
