Yandex Direct API v5

Essentials

Base URLs

Authentication

All requests require an OAuth token in the Authorization header.

Required Headers (every request):

Getting an OAuth Token:

1. Register app at https://oauth.yandex.ru/client/new with direct:api permission
2. Get token: https://oauth.yandex.ru/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
3. Token appears in redirect URL: #access_token=TOKEN&token_type=bearer&expires_in=31536000
4. Token is valid for 1 year

Quick token setup:

bash scripts/get_token.sh --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID

Request Format (JSON)

Every API request (except Reports) follows this JSON structure:

{
  "method": "get|add|update|delete|suspend|resume|archive|unarchive|...",
  "params": {
    "SelectionCriteria": { ... },
    "FieldNames": ["Id", "Name", ...],
    "Page": { "Limit": 10000, "Offset": 0 }
  }
}

Key patterns:

• SelectionCriteria -- filter which objects to return (Ids, CampaignIds, States, Statuses, Types, etc.)
• FieldNames -- which fields to include in the response
• Page -- pagination: Limit (max 10000) and Offset
• add methods use an array of objects (e.g., "Campaigns": [...])
• update methods use an array of objects with Id field
• delete methods use SelectionCriteria with Ids array

Response Format

{
  "result": {
    "Campaigns": [ ... ],
    "LimitedBy": 10000
  }
}

• LimitedBy appears when there are more objects than returned (need pagination)

Error response:

{
  "error": {
    "error_code": 53,
    "error_string": "Authorization error",
    "error_detail": "Token not found or expired"
  }
}

Units (API Points) System

Every response includes the Units HTTP header: Units: spent/remaining/daily_limit

Example: Units: 10/20828/64000 means 10 points spent, 20828 remaining, 64000 daily limit.

Common Error Codes

Sandbox

• Completely isolated from production data
• No web interface -- API only
• Same restrictions as live API
• Reports limited to one campaign per request
• Data deleted after 1 month of inactivity
• Roles: Advertiser or Agency (with 3 test clients)
• Use YANDEX_DIRECT_SANDBOX=true in config or set base URL to api-sandbox.direct.yandex.com

Configuration

The skill uses config/.env for credentials:

# Required
YANDEX_DIRECT_TOKEN=your_oauth_token

# Optional: sandbox mode
YANDEX_DIRECT_SANDBOX=true

# Optional: agency client login
YANDEX_DIRECT_CLIENT_LOGIN=client_login

Scripts

IMPORTANT: Always run scripts with bash prefix and absolute paths from the skill directory. Scripts use bash-specific features and will not work if sourced from zsh. Do NOT source scripts/common.sh directly — use the wrapper scripts below.

check_connection.sh

Verify API token and list available campaigns.

bash scripts/check_connection.sh

campaigns.sh

Manage campaigns: list, get details, stats, suspend/resume/archive.

# List all campaigns
bash scripts/campaigns.sh --action list

# List only active campaigns
bash scripts/campaigns.sh --action list --states ON

# Get full campaign details
bash scripts/campaigns.sh --action get --ids 12345678

# Get campaign funds/spend info
bash scripts/campaigns.sh --action stats --ids 12345678

bash scripts/ads.sh --action get --ad-ids 111222333

# Suspend an ad
bash scripts/ads.sh --action suspend --ad-ids 111222333

keywords.sh

Manage keywords and autotargeting.

# List keywords by campaign

reports.sh

Pull statistics reports (campaign, ad group, ad, keyword level).

# Campaign performance (last 30 days)
bash scripts/reports.sh

# Campaign performance for custom date range
bash scripts/reports.sh --date-range CUSTOM_DATE --date-from 2026-01-01 --date-to 2026-01-31

# Ad-level performance
bash scripts/reports.sh --type AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT \
  --fields "AdId,AdGroupId,Impressions,Clicks,Ctr,AvgCpc,Cost"

# Keyword/criteria performance with filter
bash scripts/reports.sh --type CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT \
  --fields "CriteriaType,Criteria,Impressions,Clicks,Ctr,AvgCpc,Cost" \
  --filter '{"Field":"CampaignId","Operator":"EQUALS","Values":["12345678"]}'

# Demographics (age/gender)
bash scripts/reports.sh --type CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT \
  --fields "Age,Gender,Impressions,Clicks,Ctr,Cost"

# Search queries report
bash scripts/reports.sh --type SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT \
  --fields "Query,Impressions,Clicks,Ctr,Cost"

# Save report to file
bash scripts/reports.sh --output report.tsv

# Predefined date ranges
bash scripts/reports.sh --date-range YESTERDAY
bash scripts/reports.sh --date-range LAST_7_DAYS
bash scripts/reports.sh --date-range THIS_MONTH

Report types: ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, CUSTOM_REPORT

Date ranges: TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST_3_DAYS, LAST_7_DAYS, LAST_14_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, LAST_90_DAYS, THIS_MONTH, LAST_MONTH, ALL_TIME, CUSTOM_DATE

dictionaries.sh

Get reference data (regions, currencies, etc.).

bash scripts/dictionaries.sh --dict GeoRegions
bash scripts/dictionaries.sh --dict Currencies

Advanced: common.sh functions

For custom API calls not covered by scripts above, use common.sh functions. Must be run inside a bash script (not sourced from zsh):

#!/bin/bash
source /path/to/scripts/common.sh
load_config
response=$(direct_request "campaigns" '{"method":"get","params":{...}}')

• Common Use Cases (bash script examples for frequent tasks) -- references/use-cases.md

Guidelines

• Always verify the token is valid before batch operations: bash scripts/check_connection.sh
• Use Page.Limit and Page.Offset for paginating through large result sets (max 10000 per request)
• Request only the FieldNames you actually need to save API points
• Use the Changes service to detect modifications before re-downloading all data
• For reports, use processingMode: auto and handle both 200 (ready) and 201/202 (pending) HTTP status codes
• Set returnMoneyInMicros: false in report headers to get human-readable monetary values
• For agency accounts, always include the Client-Login header
• Max 5 concurrent requests per advertiser -- queue or throttle your requests
• Use sandbox (api-sandbox.direct.yandex.com) for development and testing
• Store tokens securely in config/.env (file is gitignored)
• For monetary values in standard API requests/responses: amounts are in micros (multiplied by 1,000,000)
• For monetary values in reports: use returnMoneyInMicros: false header to get human-readable values, or divide by 1,000,000
