YandexCalendar is a Yandex crawler used to retrieve event-related information for calendar and scheduling features within Yandex services. It downloads calendar files by users' requests. These files are often located in directories prohibited from indexing. It may fetch pages that contain event details such as dates, times, locations, descriptions, and structured data (for example, event schema or calendar feeds). These requests are typically purpose-driven, triggered when events are submitted, referenced, or discovered for inclusion in Yandex’s products. Crawl activity is low-volume and focused, aimed at keeping event listings accurate, timely, and up to date rather than performing broad web indexing. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexCalendar using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexCalendar traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
