Yandex Wordstat API: Keyword Volume, Trends and Regions

Get Yandex Wordstat keyword data in bulk as clean JSON: the monthly search volume of every keyword (broad, phrase and exact match), up to 2,000 related keywords with their volumes, similar queries, search trends (monthly since 2018, weekly or daily) and demand by city or region. Data comes straight from Yandex, Russia's leading search engine, so it is the keyword data you need for SEO and PPC in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. No Yandex account, API key, proxy or captcha solving needed.

Why this Actor

• Yandex's own numbers: the same counts you see on wordstat.yandex.ru, fetched in bulk, no manual copying, no browser automation, no blocked accounts.
• Real ("clean") frequency in one row: broad, "phrase" and "!exact" match volumes side by side, charged as one row.
• Keyword research in one run: up to 2,000 related keywords per seed (most searched first), plus the 20 similar queries Yandex users also searched.
• Seasonality and growth: a trend row per keyword with the full series, average, peak month, change % and year over year % (monthly trends of 13+ months).
• Local demand: searches per city or region with Yandex's affinity index (over 100 = more popular there than on average), or limit every count to the regions you target.
• Fair, predictable billing: you pay per delivered row; a keyword nobody searches costs only a $0.0016 no data fee, invalid keywords and failed requests are free, and your maximum cost per run is always respected.

One example row from a real run, shortened:

{
  "id": "1e40eed40219cd70",
  "type": "volume",
  "keyword": "купить диван",
  "phrase": "купить диван",
  "searches": 663892,
  "position": null,
  "regionFilter": "All regions",
  "device": "all",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-05T14:46:36.494Z",
  "phraseMatchSearches": 26008,
  "exactMatchSearches": 23289,
  "topRelatedKeyword": "купить диван недорого"
}

Every row has id (stable across runs), type, keyword (your input), phrase, searches, position, regionFilter, device and scrapedAt. Extra fields by row type:

searches is the number of Yandex searches in the last 30 days (for trend rows: the latest period). The dataset has ready made views: All rows, Search volume, Related & similar keywords, Trends, Regions. Each view shows the columns for one row type and starts with the type column (all rows stay in one dataset, so sort or filter by type in the table or your export), plus a RUN_SUMMARY record in the key value store.

You pay per event, through your Apify account. Main price: $10.20 per 1,000 rows on the Apify Free plan and $6.80 on Gold. Every event and plan:

Every run is one HTTP request to the Apify API with your Apify token; the input below is the actor's own example. The synchronous endpoint returns the rows in the response for runs up to 300 seconds; for longer runs start a run and fetch its dataset.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cheapapi~yandex-wordstat-keyword-tool/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords":["купить диван"],"reports":["volume","related"],"maxPhrasesPerKeyword":20}'

With the JavaScript client:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('cheapapi/yandex-wordstat-keyword-tool').call({
  "keywords": [
    "купить диван"
  ],
  "reports": [
    "volume",
    "related"
  ],
  "maxPhrasesPerKeyword": 20
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

There is no other Actor with Yandex search volumes in the Apify Store (searched "wordstat", "yandex keyword" and "yandex search volume", October 2026; one small Actor returns Yandex autocomplete suggestions without volumes). The closest listings return Google keyword volumes. Actor fees of public Store listings (Free plan / Gold plan), checked October 2026:

This Actor is 15% cheaper per row than the most used keyword volume Actor on every plan. If you only need Google volumes for a list of keywords, a batch Google Actor is cheaper, but none of them has Yandex data.

• SEO for Russian speaking markets: build a semantic core from seed keywords, with real (exact match) frequencies to prioritise pages.
• Yandex Direct (PPC) planning: size demand per keyword, city and device before launching campaigns; find negative keywords in related queries.
• Seasonality: see which months a product peaks and plan content, stock and budgets with year over year growth.
• Regional expansion: compare demand and affinity across cities to choose where to open, advertise or localise.
• Market and trend research: track brands, products or topics monthly, schedule the Actor and compare runs.
• Content planning: turn related and similar queries into article topics and FAQ sections.

• Google, Bing or other search engines, Yandex searches only.
• CPC, competition and keyword difficulty, Wordstat does not provide them.
• Search results or rankings, use a Yandex SERP Actor for positions.
• More than 2,000 related keywords or 20 similar keywords per keyword, Yandex's own limits.
• Daily data older than 60 days or monthly data before January 2018, Yandex's own limits.

• Throughput: Yandex currently allows this Actor about 100 statistics requests per hour. Volume + related costs 1 request per keyword; each extra match type, the trend and the regions report add 1 each. Large lists are processed at that pace, the run waits automatically, or you can split the list across runs.
• Counts are Yandex's own statistics: estimates, not exact logs; very rare keywords may show 0.
• Up to 2,000 related and 20 similar keywords per keyword; daily trends only for the last 60 days; monthly trends from January 2018.
• The region filter applies to volume, related, similar and trend; the Regions report always covers every place.
• Region names are matched in English or Russian; when several places share a name, the larger one is used, give the numeric Yandex region ID to be exact.
