Catch drops in your site's positions and queries in chat
Connect Yandex Webmaster to the AI agent: sites, search queries, indexing, sitemaps and diagnostics. The agent finds dropped pages and slipping positions.
How the agent works with Яндекс Вебмастер
The agent calls the fourth version of the Webmaster API: first it gets the user identifier, then the list of your hosts, and from there it goes through them section by section — search queries with impressions, clicks and average positions, URLs crawled by the robot with their server responses, pages in search, external links, sitemaps, diagnostics problems and SQI history. It compares periods in pairs so that a drop is visible by query and by page.
The main Webmaster trap is what counts as a site. It is not a domain but a host: example.com, www.example.com and the https version are treated as different sites, each with its own rights and its own statistics. The agent works with the host verified under your login and never mixes their data. It assembles the picture host by host, so comparing a domain with its www version is two passes rather than one request, and a gap between their numbers means different sites, not a broken export.
The agent writes within limits and to the point: it adds a site to the list, starts a verification check, adds a missing sitemap and submits updated URLs for recrawl. Before submitting it looks at how much of the daily recrawl quota is left, so it is not burned on service pages, and afterwards it follows the status of the queued tasks. None of this changes the site's content, its positions or the search results: the robot simply arrives sooner.
The connection is a sign-in to a Yandex account with a code, carrying host owner and verification rights; no tokens to copy, and access renews itself. The agent polls query analytics noticeably slower than the other sections — that endpoint is limited more tightly — so a report on a large site is assembled in parts and it tells you which period is already counted. Long ranges are taken in windows and stitched together, and when data is missing because of rights or an unverified host, it says so directly.
Integration scenarios
Slipping positions and queries
The agent compares impressions, clicks and average positions by query across two periods and names the queries and pages where the site lost ground.
Indexing and dropped pages
The agent checks which pages are in search, finds excluded URLs and crawler response codes and shows what to fix first.
Diagnostics and sitemaps
The agent collects site problems from diagnostics, checks the state of your sitemaps and adds a missing one when needed.
Recrawling updated pages
The agent checks how much of the daily recrawl quota is left, submits updated URLs to the robot and follows the status of the queued tasks.
Who links to the site
The agent collects the external links to the site, shows which domains appeared and disappeared over the period and lays the SQI history beside them.
A new site under watch
The agent adds a host to the site list, starts the verification check and reminds you that the www version is a separate site with statistics of its own.

The check takes up to a day: until a site is verified its data is closed. If a colleague owns it, ask them to grant your account full access.
FAQ
By signing in to your Yandex account with a code — no tokens to copy. The agent only sees the sites listed under My sites for that login and verified with a file, a meta tag or a DNS TXT record.
The list of sites and their profiles, the SQI summary and history, search queries with impressions, clicks and positions, the URLs crawled by the robot, pages in search, external links, sitemaps and diagnostics problems.
Yes, within limits: it can add a site, start a verification check, submit URLs for recrawl and add a sitemap. Nothing about the site's content or its positions changes in the process.
Either the rights are not verified yet — the check takes up to a day — or the site is registered under a different login and you were not granted full access. Keep in mind that Webmaster treats example.com and www.example.com as separate sites.
