💡 Tip: Filter Results by Date

Yandex supports a native date range operator directly in the search query. Append date:YYYYMMDD..YYYYMMDD to your search text to limit results to a specific time window.

Filter results from the last 30 days:

{
  "text": "climate news date:20260317..20260417",
  "yandex_domain": "yandex.com",
  "lang": "en",
  "max_pages": 1
}

Filter results from a specific year:

{
  "text": "machine learning date:20250101..20251231",
  "yandex_domain": "yandex.ru",
  "lang": "ru",
  "max_pages": 2
}

Syntax	Example	Description
date:YYYYMMDD..YYYYMMDD	date:20260101..20260417	Results published between two dates
date:YYYYMMDD..	date:20260101..	Results published after a date
date:..YYYYMMDD	date:..20260101	Results published before a date

The date filter is part of the text field — no additional parameters needed.
