Structured JSON responses with normalized data models. No HTML parsing. No proxy management. No Yandex API key.

Yandex is a Russian and international search engine. The domain parameter selects the market — Turkey (tr) is the default, since yandex.com.tr is the only Yandex domain that reliably clears anti-bot at scale.
domain parameter.What Developers Build with Yandex Data
A second search engine, a different ranking algorithm, and a reverse image search capability few APIs expose at all.
Second-source SERP data
Cross-check Google rankings against a completely different search engine — Yandex’s ranking algorithm surfaces a different result set worth tracking on its own.
Reverse image investigation
Find where an image originated, who else is hosting it, and which pages reuse it — useful for brand protection, plagiarism checks and OSINT.
Brand & content monitoring
Track brand mentions, counterfeit listings and unauthorized image reuse across a search engine most Western monitoring tools ignore.
Multi-region SEO tracking
Pull organic rankings and ads across six Yandex markets — Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the international index — from one API.
Training data & research
Collect structured search and image results for ranking research, dataset construction and comparative search-engine analysis.
Image sourcing pipelines
Search images by keyword or find visually similar alternatives to an existing image for content and catalogue-matching pipelines.
From API call to clean JSON in seconds
No proxy setup. No session management. No anti-bot configuration.
Send a request
Call any Yandex endpoint with your API key — a query for search, or an image URL for reverse image search. REST or SDK.
We handle the hard parts
ScrapeBadger routes the request through the right exit for the selected market, detects blocks, and retries automatically.
Get structured JSON
Receive normalized JSON with organic results, ads, sitelinks, related searches, or reverse-image sites and similarity matches.
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/search | 7 credits | — | — |
Reverse Image Search /images/reverse | 10 credits | — | — |

Built for Reliability at Scale
ScrapeBadger's Yandex Scraper API handles everything Yandex throws at automated requests — so your pipeline keeps running.
Reverse image search, not just text
Pass any public image URL and get back the sites hosting it, visually similar images, descriptive tags and other available sizes — a capability most search APIs don’t offer at all.
Turkey market by default
yandex.com.tr is the only Yandex domain that reliably clears anti-bot at scale, so it’s the default — switch to com, ru, by, kz or uz with a single parameter when you need another market.
Ads kept separate from organic
Sponsored results are returned in their own field, never mixed into organic_results, so your ranking data stays clean without post-processing.
Sitelinks and related searches included
Organic results carry sitelinks where Yandex shows them, and every search response includes the related searches Yandex suggests at the bottom of the page.
No Yandex account or API key
Only a ScrapeBadger API key is required. No Yandex Webmaster account, no XML search API quota, no upstream approval process.
Pay only for success
A blocked or failed request returns an error and costs nothing. Credits are only deducted when a response is delivered.
Simple Integration. Any Language.

import ScrapeBadger from 'scrapebadger'
const client = new ScrapeBadger({ apiKey: 'sb_live_...' })
// Organic results, ads and related searches
const res = await client.yandex.search({
query: 'web scraping api',
domain: 'tr',
})
for (const r of res.organic_results) {
console.log(r.position, r.title, r.url)
}
console.log(res.related_searches)import ScrapeBadger from 'scrapebadger'
const client = new ScrapeBadger({ apiKey: 'sb_live_...' })
// Find where an image is hosted + visually similar matches
const res = await client.yandex.reverseImageSearch({
imageUrl: 'https://example.com/photo.jpg',
})
console.log(res.result_count, res.is_empty)
for (const site of res.sites) {
console.log(site.title, site.url, site.domain)
}
console.log(res.similar_images.length, 'similar images')
console.log(res.tags.map((t) => t.text))Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about scraping Yandex with the API — Python, Node.js, or REST.
What is Yandex, and why scrape it?
Yandex is a Russian and international search engine — the dominant engine in Russia and widely used across Turkey, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Its ranking algorithm and index differ meaningfully from Google’s, making it a useful second data source for SEO, monitoring and research.
What makes reverse image search useful here?
Pass a public image URL to /images/reverse and get back the sites hosting that image, visually similar images, descriptive tags Yandex has assigned, and other available sizes. It is a differentiated capability for brand protection, OSINT and plagiarism checks that few scraping APIs expose.
Why is the default market Turkey (tr) instead of the main yandex.ru?
yandex.com.tr is the only Yandex domain that reliably clears anti-bot protection at scale. You can still query com, ru, by, kz or uz explicitly via the domain parameter — results just come back less reliably on the higher-risk domains.
Do I need a Yandex account or API key?
No. You only need a ScrapeBadger API key. There is no Yandex Webmaster account, XML search API quota or upstream approval involved.
What happens if a request is blocked?
It returns an error response and costs you nothing. Credits are only deducted for successful responses, so blocks and retries are always free.
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 Yandex endpoints — web search, image search and reverse image search — are included on every plan.
