Overview
Yandex Search API
Parses Yandex SERP via Yandex Cloud Search API v2 in synchronous and asynchronous modes, with region resolution, IAM token auth, and result caching as raw XML and parsed JSON. Use it when a user needs Yandex search results - single query, batch, or region-specific - rather than a generic web search.
What it does
Parses Yandex search-engine results pages through the Yandex Cloud Search API v2, in both synchronous (one query, immediate results) and asynchronous (batch submit-and-poll) modes, with automatic result caching. Setup requires a Yandex Cloud service account: a folder ID in config.json, a service-account key file, and a verified IAM token via iam_token_get.sh (cached and auto-refreshed). Before any search it enforces a region-resolution step - looking up a named city or region to an ID via search_region.sh, and explicitly stopping to ask the user rather than guessing when the region is ambiguous, such as Moscow city versus Moscow region.
bash scripts/search_region.sh --name "Kazan"
Synchronous search (web_search_sync.sh) takes a single query or a file of queries, with parameters for region ID, results-per-page (1-100), page number, search type (RU/TR/COM/KK/BE/UZ), and family-safe filtering; asynchronous search (web_search_async.sh) submits a batch, polls at a configurable interval up to a max wait, and can resume after a timeout with --resume without duplicating completed work. Each result carries a position, title, URL, snippet (up to 300 characters), and domain, cached as both raw XML and parsed JSON keyed by a hash. A regions_tree.sh script lists common region IDs directly (Russia 225, Moscow 213, Saint Petersburg 2, Yekaterinburg 54, Novosibirsk 65, Kazan 43) for quick lookup without a name search.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when a user needs Yandex SERP results - a single query, a batch, or region-specific results - rather than a generic web search. It always resolves the search region first, asking the user to clarify when it's ambiguous rather than guessing, and reads the sync/async mode from config rather than asking each time.
Inputs and outputs
Input: one or more search queries, a target region (by name or ID), and result-count/pagination parameters. Output: ranked search results (position, title, URL, snippet, domain) as parsed JSON and raw XML, cached by query hash for reuse.
Integrations
Runs on the Yandex Cloud Search API v2, authenticating via a service-account key exchanged for an IAM token. Pricing bills sync and async requests per request, with a free tier available (current limits documented at Yandex Cloud's pricing page).
Who it's for
Developers or agents that need programmatic Yandex search results - single queries, large batches, or region-targeted SERPs - with results cached and citable.
On macOS, setup may also require installing OpenSSL via Homebrew before the IAM token script will run.
