YandexVideoParser is a Yandex crawler used to parse and index video content for display in Yandex Video search. It focuses on extracting video-related signals such as file URLs, metadata, thumbnails, embeds, transcripts, and structured data. The bot works alongside YandexVideo to interpret how videos should appear in search results. Crawl activity is targeted and asset-focused, concentrating on pages that contain or reference video content. Its purpose is to ensure accurate understanding and presentation of videos within Yandex’s video search ecosystem. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexVideoParser using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexVideoParser traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
