Yandex Market Scraper (Парсер Яндекс Маркета)

Pulls product listings off Yandex Market (market.yandex.ru), Russia's biggest price-comparison marketplace. Give it a search term or paste a Market URL and you get back one row per product: name, current price, crossed-out old price, discount, seller, rating, rating count, stock, delivery estimate, brand, key specs, image and a clean product link.

No API key, no Yandex account, no browser. It is a plain HTTP scraper, which is why it is cheap.

What you get

One row per product. A real row from a live run for фен (hair dryer):

About the three price fields

Yandex Market shows up to three numbers for the same offer, and mixing them up is the usual way a price monitor goes wrong. This scraper keeps them apart:

Field	What it is
price	The big number on the result card. This is the price Yandex Market itself publishes in the page's schema.org data — checked across three product pages, 40 of 40 ld+json prices matched this field exactly. It assumes payment with a Yandex Pay card.
priceWithoutCard	What the same offer costs without the Yandex Pay card discount. null when there is no difference.
oldPrice	The crossed-out list price. discountPercent is computed from oldPrice against price.

Input

Field	What it does
searchQueries	Search terms, one per line. Russian gives the fullest catalogue (фен, ноутбук, кроссовки); Latin brand and model names work too (iphone 15, dyson).
startUrls	Yandex Market search pages or catalogue listings, e.g. https://market.yandex.ru/catalog--noutbuki/54544/list. Filters already in the URL are preserved.
maxItems	Hard cap on unique products, 1–5000. Default 50.
sortBy	relevance, priceAsc, priceDesc, rating.
minPrice / maxPrice	Price bounds in roubles.
minRating	Drop products rated below this (and products with no rating).

Leaving the input empty returns a single labelled _sample: true row and charges nothing.

Speed and limits, measured

• ~16 products per request. Page 1 of a search returns 8; pages 2 and deeper return 16. A catalogue listing page returns up to 20.
• ~1 second per page and about 2.5 MB of HTML per page.
• A search runs dry, it does not get cut off. фен returned products up to page 50 and nothing at page 55 — roughly 800 products for a broad term. The scraper stops on its own when two consecutive pages bring nothing new.
• Yandex repeats products between pages. Twelve pages of iphone produced 184 snippets but only 165 distinct products. Duplicates are removed before your item cap is applied, so maxItems: 200 means 200 different products, and you are never charged twice for the same one.

What this does NOT do

Being straight about the edges, because they are the things that would otherwise surprise you:

• No region switching. Every price is for the Moscow delivery region (Yandex geo id 213). Both the lr= URL parameter and the yandex_gid cookie were tested and Yandex ignored both — the delivery point stayed on Moscow in every case. Rather than ship a setting that silently does nothing, there isn't one.
• maxPrice is enforced by this scraper, not by Yandex. Yandex treats an upper price bound as a relevance hint: asking for priceto=1500 returned 12 of 16 rows above 1500. The scraper drops those rows itself and does not charge you for them. minPrice genuinely filters server-side.
• No sponsored / advertisement flag. Yandex marks essentially every search offer as sponsored in its own data (48 of 48 offers across three unrelated queries), so a flag built on it would say "true" for every row. A field that is always the same value is worse than no field.
• No review text. Search results carry a star rating and a rating count (оценок), not written reviews. ratingCount is that count, not a count of review bodies.
• Search results only. It reads listing and catalogue pages. It does not open each product page to collect the full offer list, spec sheet or review feed.
• One seller per product — the offer Yandex chose to show in the result list, not every seller carrying that product.
• Prices move. Yandex Market reshuffles its result order between requests and runs personalised promotions, so two runs a minute apart can differ. Store scrapedAt with your data.

FAQ

Is there an official Yandex Market API? Not a public one. api.partner.market.yandex.ru is for merchants selling on the platform and needs OAuth plus a seller account; the old public Content API was retired. For reading the public catalogue, scraping the site is the route that exists.

Do I need a proxy or a Yandex account? No. The scraper handles its own egress and rotates the exit address when Yandex challenges one. You can point it at your own proxy if you want to, but you do not need to.

Does it work for market.yandex.by, .kz or .uz? market.yandex.by and market.yandex.kz redirect to market.yandex.ru, so they are the same storefront. market.yandex.uz is a genuinely separate, much smaller catalogue priced in soms and is not supported here.

How do I monitor a competitor's prices? Paste their seller page or run your product search on a schedule and diff price on productId between runs. offerId, sellerId and sku are all stable enough to key on.

How many products can I get for one term? Around 800 for a broad category term — that is where Yandex's own result list ends, not a scraper limit. To go deeper, use narrower terms or catalogue URLs with filters applied.

What happens if Yandex blocks a request? You get an uncharged diagnostic row saying so (errorCode: "CAPTCHA" or "FETCH_FAILED") instead of a silently empty dataset. Failed and filtered-out rows are never charged.

Why is price sometimes far below priceWithoutCard? Because Yandex Market's headline price assumes a Yandex Pay card. Both numbers are real; use priceWithoutCard if you are comparing against a shop that does not run that promotion.

Pricing

$1.70 per 1,000 products ($0.0017 each), plus $0.001 to start a run (the start fee is billed once per gigabyte of run memory, and this Actor runs at 1 GB, so that is $0.001 per run). It is a flat rate: the same price on a free account as on a paid one, with no volume tiers to reach and no subscription on top.

Pay per product returned. Sample rows, rows dropped by your own filters, and diagnostic rows for blocked requests are all free.

Products	Total cost
50 (the default)	$0.086
1,000	$1.701
5,000 (the per-run cap)	$8.501
