Yandex Maps Reviews Scraper

Extract reviews from any Yandex Maps place — hotels, landmarks, restaurants, shops, attractions, and more.

Paste a Maps organization URL (or business ID), set how many reviews you need, and get structured data in the dataset.

What you get

• Place name, rating, and review count
• Review text, star rating (1–5), language, and translations (when available)
• Author name, ID, avatar, and expertise level
• Photos, videos, and reactions
• Owner reply text and date
• Full raw review object for advanced use

How to use

1. Open this Actor and click Start
2. Add one or more Yandex Maps URLs under Place URLs
   Example: https://yandex.com/maps/org/eiffel_tower/21455091129/
3. Optionally set Max reviews per place (0 = all)
4. Keep Proxy on Apify Proxy → Residential (recommended)
5. Run and download results from the Dataset tab

Supported URLs

• https://yandex.com/maps/org/{slug}/{id}/
• https://yandex.com/maps/org/{slug}/{id}/reviews
• https://yandex.com/maps/org/{id}/reviews
• https://yandex.ru/maps/org/...

Turkish domain links (yandex.com.tr) are automatically opened on yandex.com so place names and UI fields stay in English.

You can also pass numeric Business IDs instead of URLs.

Input example

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://yandex.com/maps/org/eiffel_tower/21455091129/" }
  ],
  "maxReviews": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Output example

Each dataset item is one review:

{
  "reviewId": "DvaP9QzkIfDgAEWpGxRqlm-yZoVoraax",
  "businessId": "21455091129",
  "placeName": "Eiffel Tower",
  "placeUrl": "https://yandex.com/maps/org/eiffel_tower/21455091129/reviews",
  "placeRatingValue": 5,
  "placeReviewCount": 765,
  "text": "An absolute masterpiece and a must-visit landmark in Paris.",
  "textLanguage": "en",
  "rating": 5,
  "ratingScale": 5,
  "authorName": "Sayid Abdel Fattah",
  "authorId": "wz7gfb6w63hkedbbk3tybmp09m",
  "publishedAt": "2026-05-23T00:00:00.000Z",
  "replyText": null,
  "source": "yandex",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-11T09:35:22.000Z"
}

A place summary is also saved in the key-value store as PLACE_INFO_{businessId}.

Tips

• Residential proxy is strongly recommended. Without it, Yandex often blocks or times out.
• Start with a small maxReviews (for example 20–50) to estimate runtime and cost.
• Review body language follows what visitors wrote; English is used for place metadata when possible.
• For many places, run them in one Actor start by adding multiple URLs.

Limitations

• Places with a very large number of reviews may take longer to finish.
• Occasional blocks or captchas can still happen; retry with a fresh Residential proxy session.
