## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Yandex Maps Scraper

Scrapes Yandex Maps for places and business listings. Extracts name, address, phone, coordinates, rating, reviews, opening hours, website, and more.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor creates one dataset item per Yandex Maps place or local-business result, with contact, location, rating, hours, and image fields when present.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 23-field dataset schema.
- Optional contact, location, hours, pricing, and image fields are populated only when Yandex exposes them.

### Use cases

- Local lead research
- Location and category monitoring
- Business-directory enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | — | The place or business type to search for on Yandex Maps (e.g. `cafes in Moscow` or `hotels in London`). |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of place results to scrape. |
| `language` | string | No | `"en"` | Interface language code (e.g. 'en', 'ru'). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | — | Proxy settings for the scraper. Residential proxies are recommended for reliable results. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "restaurants in Moscow",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "language": "en",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per place or local-business result. Phone, website, coordinates, hours, pricing, and review totals are optional because map cards expose different detail levels.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | integer | Position |
| `name` | string | Name |
| `category` | string | Category |
| `address` | string | Address |
| `rating` | number | Rating |
| `reviewCount` | integer | Review Count |
| `phone` | string | Phone |
| `website` | string | Website |
| `type` | string | Type |
| `searchQuery` | string | Search Query |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Scraped At |
| `latitude` | number | Latitude |
| `longitude` | number | Longitude |
| `openingHours` | string | Opening Hours |
| `isOpenNow` | boolean | Is Open Now |
| `priceLevel` | string | Price Level |

<details>
<summary>All 23 declared dataset fields</summary>
