Introduction

Yandex Maps is the leading map and local business directory in Russia and many CIS countries, with millions of cafes, shops, clinics, hotels, and service businesses, each with contacts, opening hours, ratings, and customer reviews.

This Yandex Maps scraper collects the same public information you see in your browser and turns it into a ready-to-use dataset. You can run it once, schedule it to run daily, or connect it to your own tools as a Yandex Maps API alternative.

How to scrape Yandex Maps step by step

1. Paste one or more Yandex Maps URLs into Start URLs, or type what you are looking for into Search queries (for example "coffee in Berlin").
2. Set Maximum number of places to how many places you want per URL or per query.
3. Optionally set Maximum reviews per place to include reviews.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the Output tab.

Input

• Start URLs: Yandex Maps URLs to scrape. Supported pages: search results (such as https://yandex.com/maps/213/moscow/search/cafe/), category pages, and single place pages (https://yandex.com/maps/org/...). Any Yandex domain works, for example yandex.com, yandex.ru, or yandex.com.tr. Filters you apply on the website (rating, open now, cuisine, price, and more) are kept in the results.
• Search queries: what to search for, one per line. Include the city or area in the query, for example "dentist Moscow" or "coffee in Berlin". Each query is scraped separately.
• Maximum number of places: how many places to collect for each start URL or search query. Use 0 for no limit.
• Maximum reviews per place: how many reviews to include for each place, most relevant first. 0 skips reviews.
• Minimum rating: only places rated at least this high (applies to search queries).
• Open now: only places that are open at the time of the run (applies to search queries).
• Open 24 hours: only places open around the clock (applies to search queries).

You can use start URLs, search queries, or both in the same run.

Input Examples

Scrape a Yandex Maps search page:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://yandex.com/maps/213/moscow/search/cafe/" }],
  "maxResults": 5
}

Search by keywords with the default filters and no reviews:

{
  "searchQueries": ["coffee in Berlin"],
  "maxResults": 5,
  "maxReviews": 0,
  "minRating": "any",
  "openNow": false,
  "open24h": false
}

Notes

• Yandex Maps shows up to about 300 places per search. For more results, split a broad search into smaller ones (by district, category, or city).
• Text such as categories, features, and opening hours follows the language of the Yandex domain you use; search queries run on yandex.com in English.
• A place that appears in several of your searches is saved only once per run.
• Places without ratings return rating as null. Phone numbers, websites, photos, and features are empty when the business has not added them.
• Only Yandex Maps search, category, and place URLs are supported. Other URLs are skipped.
