## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Yandex Reviews API: Maps Reviews Scraper

Download Yandex Maps reviews of any business: rating, text, date, author name and level, likes, dislikes and the
business reply. Paste place links, get a table of reviews. No Yandex account needed.

### Why use it

- **More than one sort order.** Yandex gives at most 600 reviews per sort order. This actor goes through four
  orders (newest, most relevant, lowest rated, highest rated) and removes repeats: 891 reviews for a clinic with
  1,578, about 1,800 for a restaurant with 20,500. Places with up to 600 reviews come in full.
- **Fast.** 891 reviews in about 40 seconds.
- **Cheap.** $0.0002 per review, no start fee.

### What you get

| field | example |

| date | 2025-06-07T10:55:01.126Z |

### How to scrape Yandex Maps reviews

1. Paste place links like `https://yandex.ru/maps/org/d_s_clinic/6647694168/`, or just the number.
2. Choose which reviews come first and how many per place.
3. Run and download as Excel, CSV or JSON, or get it by API.

```json
{
  "placeUrls": ["https://yandex.ru/maps/org/d_s_clinic/6647694168/"],
  "sort": "lowest",
  "maxReviewsPerPlace": 200
}
```

Need place links first? Get them with Yandex Maps API: Business Contacts & Places (the `url` column).

### How much does it cost?

$0.0002 per review, no start fee. 1,000 reviews cost $0.20.

### Good to know

- Yandex shows at most 600 reviews per sort order. Above that the actor collects what the four orders give together;
  for very popular places that is part of the reviews, not all.
- "Lowest rating first" is the quickest way to collect complaints.

### FAQ

**Is there a Yandex reviews API?** Not a public one for businesses you don't own. This actor works as one: send
place links, get JSON.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "placeUrls": [
        "https://yandex.ru/maps/org/d_s_clinic/6647694168/"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": false
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("firsthand/yandex-maps-reviews").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "placeUrls": ["https://yandex.ru/maps/org/d_s_clinic/6647694168/"],
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": False },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("firsthand/yandex-maps-reviews").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "placeUrls": [
    "https://yandex.ru/maps/org/d_s_clinic/6647694168/"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,firsthand/yandex-maps-reviews"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
