Yandex Search Scraper

What Yandex Search Scraper can do

• Organic results by default. Ads, the knowledge panel and inline image or video strips are left out of the organic rows, so positions are genuine organic ranks. Three opt-in switches (includeAds, includeKnowledgeGraph, includeInlineMedia, all off) return those blocks as separate rows with kind set, never numbered. Yandex serves those blocks only for some queries, regions and exits, so a run can return none of them; the knowledge panel is best effort.
• Continuous position tracking. Every result carries its query, 1-based SERP page, and a running 1-based position across the whole query walk, not just the current page. When you set startPage above 1, page stays the real SERP page but position counts from 1 at the first page you fetched, so it is the rank inside your window rather than the absolute rank.
• Three verticals from one input. Pick web, images, or videos with searchType. Media rows add their own thumbnail, duration, view count, and embed fields.
• Pagination that knows when to stop. The walk keeps requesting pages until maxPages is reached or a page returns no new organic results.
• A hard run-wide cap. maxItems bounds total emitted results across every query, so run size and cost stay predictable. It defaults to 100000, the maximum, which is effectively uncapped; set a lower value to cap a run. A run that stops at the cap skips EXPIRED detection in incremental mode.
• Built for monitoring. Incremental mode returns only new and changed results on repeated runs, and resumeFromRunId skips results an earlier run already collected (see the resume notes below for its limits).

Ways to use this data

• SEO and rank tracking: monitor organic positions for target keywords over time, using incremental mode to see only what moved.
• Competitor and SERP research: see which domains and pages currently rank for a query, with breadcrumbs and snippets included.
• Content and media discovery: pull the current top videos or images for a topic, with thumbnails, durations, and view counts.
• Brand monitoring: track how a brand or product name surfaces in Yandex search results.
• Data science and NLP datasets: build structured, position-tagged corpora of titles and snippets for downstream analysis.
