Yandex Webmaster has published another update on its ongoing service restoration, confirming that several tools have returned to operation while work continues on recovering the platform in full. The announcement, titled Продолжаем восстанавливать сервис (“We continue to restore the service”), identifies specific functions that have become available again.
Which Yandex Webmaster tools have been restored?
According to the Yandex Webmaster team, the latest restored functions include the external API for capabilities currently available through the interface, points awarded for reviews, the Security and Violations section, crawl-rate configuration, and the ability to link a Yandex Metrica counter.
The API qualification is particularly important: the announcement does not say that every API operation is available. It specifies functions that are already accessible in the interface, so automated integrations should be checked individually rather than assumed to be fully operational.
What the recovery means for technical SEO
For site owners and SEO professionals working with Yandex, access to security reports and crawl-rate settings can support routine technical monitoring. Restored Metrica linking also helps reconnect site-management and analytics workflows. However, the announcement does not establish that every reporting feature, data feed or related service has returned to normal.
Teams relying on the platform should verify the specific tools they use, test API calls before restarting unattended jobs, and avoid interpreting missing or delayed reports as evidence of a new indexing problem without additional checks. These are operational precautions, not additional claims made by Yandex.
Full restoration is still in progress
The Yandex Webmaster team thanked users for their understanding and said it was continuing work to restore the service as quickly as possible. Users experiencing problems with individual tools were directed to the service's support team.
For now, the clearest conclusion is incremental progress rather than complete recovery. SEO teams should follow further official updates and validate their own workflows as individual functions return.
