YandexRCA is a Yandex crawler used to collect webpage data for generating content previews across Yandex services. It fetches pages to extract titles, descriptions, images, and other metadata required to render previews in search results, recommendations, and partner surfaces. The bot does not perform full search indexing and does not analyze pages for ranking purposes. Crawl activity is lightweight and targeted, typically triggered when Yandex needs to create or refresh a preview for a specific URL. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexRCA using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexRCA traffic is identified.
