Yahoo Search is served through the Universal Web Scraper API

You scrape Yahoo Search with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any Yahoo Search URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no Yahoo Search-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.

About Yahoo Search

Yahoo Search is Yahoo's web search engine, which serves organic results (largely powered by Bing) along with ads and vertical results. The result titles, URLs, snippets, rankings, and the ads shown alongside them are the public fields to scrape.

Scraping note: Yahoo's results page is largely server-rendered so a single fetch returns the listings, but rate limiting and regional redirects mean proxies are advisable.

Example Yahoo Search page

https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=cheap+flights+to+tokyo

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Yahoo Search

check_small result title check_small result URL check_small description snippet check_small result rank check_small ad listing check_small related searches

Common use: A SERP-tracking tool scrapes Yahoo Search to monitor rankings on an engine with its own audience and slightly different result mix than Google.

Everything you need to scrape Yahoo Search

Residential proxies keep your own IP out of every request, the JSON comes back clean, and 1,000 free requests a month let you prove yahoo search scraper works before you add a card.

Yahoo Search Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Yahoo Search?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Yahoo Search data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Yahoo Search's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Yahoo Search without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Yahoo Search without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Yahoo Search's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Yahoo Search Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Yahoo Search page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Yahoo Search Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Yahoo Search Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Yahoo Search account or login?

expand_more
No Yahoo Search login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Yahoo Search URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Yahoo Search credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
