YandexMedia is a Yandex crawler used to discover and process media content such as audio, video, and rich media assets for Yandex’s media-related services. It fetches media files along with associated metadata, descriptions, and structured data. This crawler supports content discovery and enrichment across Yandex’s media platforms rather than general web search indexing. Crawl activity is typically lightweight and asset-focused, triggered when Yandex detects new or updated media content or refreshes existing media libraries to keep listings accurate and up to date. It honours the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexMedia using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexMedia traffic is identified.
