About Yandex Search API

With Search API, you can easily implement the search feature on individual websites, groups of websites, or across the internet, or create an application with built-in search features. Additionally, it offers features to monitor website ranking for specific queries in Yandex search results.

Search API text search supports the GET and POST methods for sending search queries. They have the same response format. Search API image search only supports the GET method for sending search queries.

You can also use text search together with YandexGPT generative AI to get a concise and clear generative response to a user query.
