Yandex Maps Places Scraper

This actor extracts structured business data from Yandex Maps, including contacts, addresses, coordinates, ratings, categories, opening hours, photos, websites, and identifiers. It runs a Playwright browser session (scrape_web) to collect rich data without an API key.

Examples

• "coffee near Nevsky Prospect, Saint Petersburg"
• "dentist in Astana"
• "hotels in Istanbul Taksim"
• "строительные магазины, Екатеринбург"

Tip: always add the city/area to narrow results; Yandex gets too broad without it.

Inputs

• query (required): what you would type into Yandex Maps, with city/area.
• maxItems: how many places to save.
• language: english, russian, kazakh, turkish, azerbaijani.

Output

The results will be wrapped into a dataset which you can find in the Output or Storage tab. Note that the output is organized in tables and tabs for viewing convenience. You can view results as a table, JSON, or as a map.

Once the run is finished, you can also download the dataset in various data formats (JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML). Before exporting, you can pick or omit specific output fields; alternatively, you can also choose to download the whole view, which includes thematically connected data.

Table view

The table view can be manipulated in different ways. There is a general overview

but you can also sort the table by contact info

or Social media

The "Review" table also contains a short and full overview from Alice AI based on user feedback.

🗺 Map view

After scraping, the actor generates an interactive HTML map showing all collected places.

The map is saved to the Key-Value Store as:

results-map.html
