## 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 Search Scraper

Scrapes Yandex Search for a query and returns ranked web results with titles, links, snippets, rich-result fields, advertising flags, and search context when available.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor creates one dataset item per Yandex web result, preserving page, position, localization, and source-displayed metadata.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 40-field dataset schema.
- Optional rich-result, presentation, author, pricing, and date fields are populated only when Yandex exposes them.

### Use cases

- Search and competitor research
- Ranking and visibility monitoring
- Dataset and workflow 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 search query to look up on Yandex Search. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of search results to scrape. |
| `country` | string | No | `""` | Country code for localized results (e.g. 'us', 'ru', 'de'). |
| `language` | string | No | `"en"` | Search language code (e.g. 'en', 'ru', 'de'). |
| `lr` | string | No | `""` | Yandex region code. E.g. '213' for Moscow, '84' for USA, '100763' for London. |
| `timeRange` | string | No | `""` | Yandex `within` filter: `1`, `7`, or `30`; empty means no time filter. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | — | Proxy settings for the scraper. Residential proxies are recommended for reliable results. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "artificial intelligence",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "country": "ru",
  "language": "ru",
  "lr": "213",

    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per search result. Rich-result, author, price, rating, date, thumbnail, and sitelink fields are optional.
