What can it do?

Yandex Maps Scraper saves one dataset row per public place found in Yandex Maps search results.

• Search places: Add one or more queries for business categories, service keywords, or place types.
• Target a city: Paste a public cityUrl such as https://yandex.com/maps/213/moscow.
• Use location fallback: Provide location when no city URL is available.
• Extract embedded details: Keep includeDetails enabled for phones, websites, hours, features, images, and coordinates when available.
• Control output size: Set maxItems to cap saved place records and spend.

Common workflows

• Lead generation: Export local businesses with phone numbers, websites, ratings, and addresses.
• Local SEO research: Compare competitors by category, rating, review count, website presence, and location.
• Market mapping: Build datasets by city, category, or neighborhood for expansion planning.
• Directory enrichment: Use Yandex Maps URLs, place IDs, phones, and websites as enrichment anchors.
• Scheduled monitoring: Run the same query periodically to watch category visibility or rating changes.

Tips for best results

• Use category terms: Queries such as dentist, hotel, or coffee usually work better than vague phrases.
• Run cities separately: Separate tasks make outputs easier to compare and retry.
• Start with a cap: Use maxItems: 25 for the first run, then increase it after checking quality.
• Keep details enabled: includeDetails improves contact and location fields when Yandex Maps exposes them.
• Do not expect review text: The current version returns rating and review counts, not individual reviews.

API and integrations

• Run the actor from the Apify Console, API, SDKs, webhooks, schedules, or MCP-compatible agents.
• Export datasets as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or stream rows through the Dataset API.
• Send place records to CRMs, lead-scoring systems, mapping tools, or local SEO dashboards.
• Combine with contact, review, or search actors for broader local intelligence workflows.
