Scrape Yandex search results across 17 regional domains. Returns structured data for organic results, ads, knowledge graph, inline images, videos, and related searches.

What it does

Enter one or more search queries and the scraper returns full SERP data from Yandex, including organic results with positions, snippets, and thumbnails. Supports all major Yandex regional domains (Russia, Turkey, Germany, France, and 13 more), language settings, time filters, and pagination.

When a regional domain is blocked by SmartCaptcha (common on datacenter IPs), the scraper automatically falls back to a captcha-free domain while preserving regional targeting via Yandex's lr parameter.

Cost

This scraper uses Playwright (headless Chromium) to render Yandex search pages. A typical run with 2 queries and 3 pages each takes about 90 seconds and costs ~$0.03 in platform credits.

Limitations

• SmartCaptcha: Yandex blocks most regional domains from datacenter IPs. The scraper automatically falls back to captcha-free domains (yandex.com.tr, yandex.uz) with region targeting. Residential proxies bypass this entirely.
• Inline images/videos: Yandex serves dedicated image and video wizard blocks inconsistently across domains and queries. These fields may be empty for some searches.
• Results per page: While the input accepts 10-50, Yandex may not honor values above 10 on all domains.
• Rate limiting: The scraper includes random delays between pages (2-4s) and queries (3-7s) to avoid triggering additional captchas.
