How we review

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 queries with no built-in limit
  • Data comes from scraping the results page, not from Yandex's official API

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

What it does

The skill wraps a third-party Apify actor, johnvc/Scrape-Yandex: one query returns the full Yandex SERP as structured JSON, organic results with position, title, link, displayed link and snippet, plus optional ads, a knowledge graph and inline images and videos. You can target a Yandex domain, language and any of over 123,000 lr region IDs. Billing runs through an Apify account, per page per run. A companion skill for image search installs separately.

Who it is for. For SEO specialists and market researchers who need the Yandex SERP as data without going through official Search API access.

Good fit when

  • You need a one-off ranking check without setting up a Yandex Cloud key
  • You want ads, a knowledge graph or inline media alongside organic results
  • Paying through Apify is fine, without a separate arrangement with Yandex

Not a fit when

  • You need the official Yandex Search API v2 with an SLA guarantee: this uses a third-party scraper
  • You need bulk collection across many keywords: the author has a separate per-result skill for that

Limitations

The skill depends on a third-party paid Apify actor rather than Yandex's official API; changes to the results page markup or blocks can affect the actor without notice. An Apify account and an APIFY_TOKEN are required. Billing is a small per-run fee plus a per-page fee, so cost grows with the number of queries.

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

FAQ

Do I need an official Yandex key?

No, the skill uses a third-party Apify actor instead of the official Search API; no Yandex key is needed, but an Apify token is.

What does it cost?

A small per-run fee plus a per-page fee; exact numbers are in references/gotchas.md inside the skill.
