What it does

Give the node a query, and it returns one item per organic result with the position, title, link, snippet, and displayed link. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can run Yandex searches on demand.

  • Search any Yandex domain, for example yandex.com or yandex.ru
  • Localize with a language code and a Yandex region ID
  • Sort by relevance or date, and restrict to a time period
  • Choose how much data to return per result: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-yandex-search-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Yandex Search node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Search Result > Search returns organic results for a query.

Parameter Description
Search Query The query to search for. Required.
Yandex Domain Which Yandex domain to query. Defaults to yandex.com.

Output

Each organic result is returned as its own n8n item. The Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

  • Simplified (default): a compact object with position, title, link, snippet, and displayedLink. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
  • Raw: every field the API returns for each result, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Fields (Raw and Selected Fields)

Field Type Description
position integer Rank of the result on the page
title string Result title
link string Result URL
snippet string Result snippet text
displayed_link string The link as displayed by Yandex
sitelinks array Additional sitelinks, when present

Example workflows

1. Track rankings for a keyword

  1. Schedule Trigger: run daily.
  2. Yandex Search: set Search Query to your keyword, Output Simplified.
  3. Filter: keep the item whose link matches your domain; log its position over time.

2. Collect results into a sheet

  1. Manual Trigger.
  2. Yandex Search: your query, Maximum Pages 3.
