Yandex Search Engine Results API

/search?engine=yandex API endpoint allows you to scrape the results from Yandex search engine via our SerpApi service. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.

API Parameters

Search Query

text

Required

Parameter defines the search query. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Yandex search.

Localization

yandex_domain

Optional

Parameter defines the Yandex domain to use. It defaults to yandex.com. Head to the Yandex domains for a full list of supported Yandex domains.

A default lr is used for each yandex_domain.
Example: 84(US) for yandex.com

A default lang parameter en(English) is used for yandex.com

lang

Optional

Parameter defines the language to use for the Yandex search. Head to the Yandex languages for a full list of supported Yandex languages.
It defaults to en when yandex_domain is yandex.com. If you want to disable this parameter, set its value to null("Unspecified").
You can also pass 2-letter country codes separated by commas, for example: ru,en to get results in multiple languages.

Geographic Location

lr

Optional

Parameter defines country or region ID to limit the search results to. Head to the Yandex locations for a full list of supported Yandex locations.

If parameter is not set - the matching location of selected yandex_domain is used, e.g. 84 for yandex.com.

rstr

Optional

Parameter enables additional filtering to select search results that include specified location (lr) in the text snippets/titles.

Pagination

p

Optional

Parameter defines page number. Pagination starts from 0.

Serpapi Parameters

engine

Required

Set parameter to yandex to use the Yandex API engine.

no_cache

Optional

Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Yandex results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.

async

Optional

Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.

zero_trace

Optional

Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.

api_key

Required

Parameter defines the SerpApi private key to use.

output

Optional

Parameter defines the final output you want. It can be set to json (default) to get a structured JSON of the results, or html to get the raw html retrieved.

API Results

JSON Results

JSON output includes structured data for organic results, knowledge graph, inline images and inline videos.

A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.

HTML Results

HTML output is useful to debug JSON results or support features not supported yet by SerpApi.
HTML output gives you the raw HTML results from Yandex.
