## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### 🚀 Yandex Maps Scraper

Extract businesses and places from Yandex Maps, the dominant map service across Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and the wider CIS region. The **Yandex Maps Scraper** turns any search into clean rows with name, category, address, coordinates, phones, website, opening hours, ratings and, optionally, the newest reviews, ready for lead generation, local-market research and reputation monitoring.

### ✨ Features

- 📍 **Search like a user**: Type queries exactly as you would in Yandex Maps, e.g. `кафе Москва`, `стоматология Казань` or `pizza Berlin`, and get every place the map returns.
- 🗺️ **Beyond the first page**: The scraper scans the map area by area, so one query can return hundreds of places instead of the 25 shown on screen.
- 📞 **Rich place data**: Categories, full address, postal code, coordinates, phones, website, social links (Telegram, WhatsApp, VK…), weekly opening hours, open-now status, photo count, verified-owner flag and attributes like average bill, delivery or Wi-Fi.
- ⭐ **Ratings & reviews**: Average rating, rating and review counts on every place, plus up to 50 newest reviews per place with text, rating, author, date, likes and the business's reply.
- 🔗 **Direct place URLs**: Paste Yandex Maps place pages to refresh specific businesses, for example your own locations or a competitor list.
- 🌐 **Russian or English**: Choose the output language for names, categories and addresses.

### 🛠️ How It Works

1. **Enter search queries** – One per line, including the city or area: `кафе Москва`, `автосервис Алматы`, `hotel Minsk`.
2. **Set the scope** – Choose **Max places** and, if you need review text, switch on **Include reviews** and set **Max reviews per place**.
3. **Run the scraper** – Get one row per place, with its reviews nested inside when enabled.
