}Yahoo API — 6 Dedicated Endpoints
Structured JSON responses with normalized data models. No HTML parsing. No proxy management. No Yahoo API key.
/v1/yahoo/search/v1/yahoo/images/v1/yahoo/videos/v1/yahoo/news/v1/yahoo/autocomplete/v1/yahoo/marketsEvery Field You Need, Ready to Use
All fields are normalized from Yahoo’s own result pages — no HTML for you to parse. Every result carries its position, so ranking data is a field read, and organic URLs arrive with Yahoo’s redirect wrapper already resolved.

Pass a market code like us or de and every endpoint returns the results Yahoo serves that region. The free /markets endpoint lists every supported code — here is a sample.
From API call to clean JSON in seconds
No proxy setup. No session management. No anti-bot configuration.
Send a request
Call any Yahoo endpoint with your API key — a keyword for web, image, video or news search, or a partial query for autocomplete. REST or SDK.
We handle the hard parts
ScrapeBadger routes the request through a residential exit with Chrome impersonation, detects blocks, and falls back to a real browser when needed.
Get structured JSON
Receive normalized JSON with positions, titles, resolved URLs, snippets, thumbnails and publish dates — ready to store, analyse, or pipe into your application.
What Developers Build with Yahoo Data
Scraping Yahoo gives you real search signals — who ranks where, what people are shown for a query in each market, and what the news cycle looks like right now.
Rank tracking
Track where your pages and your competitors’ rank in Yahoo web results per keyword and market — positions come back on every result, so building a rank tracker is a loop, not a parser.
SEO & SERP research
Study which titles and snippets Yahoo rewards for a query, and how the same query resolves differently across 35+ regional markets.
Keyword & suggestion mining
Expand seed keywords with the autocomplete endpoint at 1 credit per call — the same suggestions Yahoo shows real users, per market.
News & media monitoring
Poll Yahoo News for coverage of your brand, competitors or topics, with the publisher and publish time on every article.
AI training & RAG pipelines
Feed agents and retrieval pipelines with clean, ranked web results — title, URL and snippet per hit — without managing proxies or parsing HTML.
Brand & reputation monitoring
Watch what surfaces for your brand name across web, image, video and news verticals, and spot impersonators or negative coverage early.
Pay Per Request. Credits Never Expire.
You only pay for successful responses — failed requests are always free. PAYG credits never expire; volume subscription tiers reduce per-credit cost further.

Image Search /images | 5 credits | — | — |
Video Search /videos | 5 credits | — | — |
News Search /news | 5 credits | — | — |

Built for Reliability at Scale
ScrapeBadger's Yahoo Scraper API handles everything Yahoo throws at automated requests — so your pipeline keeps running.
Four verticals, one API
Web, images, videos and news share the same key, the same market parameter and the same clean JSON shape — cover every Yahoo surface without stitching together separate tools.
Redirect wrappers resolved
Yahoo routes organic clicks through its own r.search.yahoo.com tracker. Every result comes back with the real destination URL already unwrapped.
35+ markets with one parameter
Pass a market code like us, de or br and the request is served from that region’s Yahoo domain. The free /markets endpoint lists every supported code.
Autocomplete at 1 credit
Keyword expansion is the cheapest call in the API, so you can mine suggestion trees at scale before spending credits on full SERPs.
Related searches included
Every web search response includes the related searches Yahoo suggests, giving you the next layer of keyword ideas for free.
Pagination that behaves
offset steps through the SERP the way you expect, and images and videos take a count up to 100 — so deep collection is a simple loop.
Simple Integration. Any Language.
Get started in minutes with Python, Node.js, or plain HTTP requests.
The scrapebadger Node.js library wraps the Yahoo API with typed methods. Install with npm install scrapebadger, then start scraping Yahoo in a few lines of code.
import ScrapeBadger from 'scrapebadger'
const client = new ScrapeBadger({ apiKey: 'sb_live_...' })
// Page two of the SERP for one keyword in one market
const { results } = await client.yahoo.search({
query: 'web scraping',
market: 'us',
offset: 10,
})
for (const r of results) {
console.log(r.position, r.title, r.url)
}import ScrapeBadger from 'scrapebadger'
const client = new ScrapeBadger({ apiKey: 'sb_live_...' })
// Yahoo News coverage of a brand, UK market
const news = await client.yahoo.news({
query: 'anthropic',
market: 'uk',
})
for (const a of news.results) {
console.log(a.published_utc, a.source, a.title)
}Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about scraping Yahoo with the API — Python, Node.js, or REST.
Do I need a Yahoo API key?
No. You only need a ScrapeBadger API key. There is no Yahoo developer account, no BOSS Search subscription and no quota to apply for — Yahoo retired its public search API years ago.
Which Yahoo verticals are covered?
Web search, image search, video search, news search and autocomplete suggestions. A free /markets endpoint lists every supported market code.
Does this cover Yahoo Japan?
No. Yahoo Japan (yahoo.co.jp) is a separate company running its own search stack, and it is deliberately out of scope for this API. Every market here is served by Yahoo’s international properties.
Which countries are supported?
Over 35 markets, selected with a single lowercase country code like us, uk, de or br. Yahoo serves each from its own regional domain, and the /markets endpoint returns the full list, free of charge.
What happens if a request is blocked?
It returns a 422 and costs you nothing. Credits are only deducted for successful responses, so you never pay for a block or a retry.
Bigger volume? Save up to 64%
Per-request credit costs are listed above. For higher monthly volume, subscription tiers reduce the per-credit rate substantially. All Yahoo endpoints — web search, images, videos, news, autocomplete and markets — are included on every plan.
