Verify site ownership and manage sitemaps programmatically for a site using the Yandex Webmaster API (v4) instead of IndexNow
domain: yandex.com · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checked community attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps Add the host in Yandex Webmaster and retrieve a verification code via GET /v4/user/{user-id}/hosts/{host-id}/verification Complete verification (meta tag, DNS TXT, or HTML file upload) then confirm the state returns YWM_VERIFIED via the same endpoint Register an OAuth app in Yandex OAuth to get an access token; all API calls require an OAuth Authorization header, not a simple API key List existing sitemap files with GET /v4/user/{user-id}/hosts/{host-id}/sitemaps Submit a new sitemap URL and poll the sitemap-by-id endpoint for processing status and URL counts
Known gotchas host-id is Yandex's normalized host string (e.g. https:example.com:443), not just the raw domain name Sitemap and diagnostic endpoints return no host-level data until verification status reaches YWM_VERIFIED This is a separate authenticated API from IndexNow's key-file push mechanism and requires its own OAuth setup
