## Example output row

```json
{
  "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"
}
```

## Fields

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

| Row type (`type`) | Extra fields | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `volume`, 1 per keyword | `searches` (broad), `phraseMatchSearches`, `exactMatchSearches` (null when not requested), `topRelatedKeyword` | купить диван: 663,892 / 26,008 / 23,289 |
| `related`, queries containing the keyword | `searches`, `position`, `shareOfKeywordPercent`, `wordCount` | купить диван недорого: 76,468 (11.52%) |
| `similar`, other queries of the same people | `searches`, `position`, `wordCount` | мебельный магазин: 252,693 |
| `trend`, 1 per keyword | `period`, `fromDate`, `toDate`, `latestDate`, `averageSearches`, `peakDate`, `peakSearches`, `changePercent`, `yearOverYearPercent` (monthly, 13+ months; else null), `series[]` | monthly, peak 2026-08 |
| `region`, demand by place | `regionId`, `regionName`, `regionLevel`, `regionSharePercent`, `affinityIndex` | Moscow: 83,899, affinity 113.9 |

`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.

## Compared with alternatives

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:

| Option | Data | 1,000 keyword volumes | Related keywords |
|---|---|---|---|
| **This Actor** | **Yandex** | **$10.20 / $6.80** | yes, up to 2,000 per keyword ($0.0102 / $0.0068 each) |
| Most used keyword volume Actor (~1,500 users) | Google | $12 / $8 | yes, at the same per row price |
| Keyword research Actor (~400 users) | Google | $10 | yes, $0.01 per row |
| Batch volume Actor (~800 users) | Google | $1.99 / $0.40 per batch of 1,000 | no |

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.

## Not included

- **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.

## 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.

## FAQ

**Is it legal?**
The Actor gets its data through Yandex's official, paid keyword statistics API (Yandex Cloud Search API), not by scraping the Wordstat website. The data is aggregated search counts with no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the results, including Yandex's terms of use if you republish the numbers.

**How fresh is the data?**
Volumes are for the last 30 days, fetched live at run time. Monthly trends end with the last finished month, weekly with the last finished week, daily with yesterday.

**Why do the volume row and the trend row show different numbers?**
The volume row counts the last 30 days; the trend row's `searches` is the last calendar month (or week/day).

**What is the difference between broad, phrase and exact match?**
Broad counts every query containing the words (`купить диван` includes `купить угловой диван недорого`). Phrase (`"купить диван"`) counts only queries made of exactly these words. Exact (`"!купить !диван"`) also fixes each word form. SEO specialists usually plan with phrase or exact match.

**Why did I get fewer related keywords than I asked for?**
Yandex returns fewer for rare keywords; `minSearches`, `excludeWords` and duplicates also remove some. The keyword itself is never repeated as a related keyword (it is the volume row), so with the maximum of 2,000 you get up to 1,999 related keywords plus the volume row.

**Why was I charged for a keyword with no searches?**
Yandex still processed the lookup, so a small $0.0016 no data fee applies per request made: $0.0016 with the default reports, up to $0.008 with every report and match type enabled (5 requests). Invalid keywords and failed requests are free.

**Can I limit counts to a city?**
Yes, put city, region or country names in **Regions**. The Regions report itself always ranks every place (it shows where the demand is).

**The run says it is waiting at the hourly limit, is something wrong?**
No. Yandex limits how many statistics requests can be made per hour (about 100 at the moment, shared by all users of this Actor); the run waits and continues automatically (up to **Maximum wait** for each request), and nothing is charged while it waits. Platform usage while waiting is about $0.10 per hour.

**Does it work for Turkey or other countries?**
Wordstat counts searches made on Yandex. They are large in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and small elsewhere (Turkish keywords often show only tens of searches).

**Do I need a Yandex account or API key?**
No. Everything is included in the price.
