The Yandex microstatic validator tool helps to check the correctness of semantic markings on the pages of your site in Yandex. The validator checks whether metadata is recognized correctly by supporting formats such as microformats, Schema.org, Open Graph, Microdata and RDFA.
A distinctive feature of the validator Yandex is that, in addition to the standard markup check, it takes into account additional fields and types of data that Yandex has implemented in his search. This allows you to adapt the markings for the needs of Yandex and increase the chances of the correct display in the search results.
You can familiarize yourself with the full technical data on how the microfabric validator works in the article “How and why we made our microdulator validator”. This will help you better understand how to use the tool.
To check the markings, enter the address of the page of your site in the URL Document Field or insert the microdulatory code. Then click the "Check" button. The results of the audit will appear under the heading “Check results”, where you will see the data that you managed to recognize, or errors if they were found.
Mistakes in the microdulature can negatively affect the display of your site in the search results of Yandex. Below are the main errors that the validator can detect:
Error 1: The page cannot be loaded
If the page of your site does not exist or is inaccessible to the Yandex robot, it cannot be indexed. Make sure the page is available for Yandex.
Error 2: microdistrict is not detected
If the validator cannot recognize the microdistrict, this may mean that the markup is absent or it is made incorrectly. For example, an attribute has been missed itemscope In the root element of Schema.org.

<div itemtype="http://schema.org/Movie">Right:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Movie">Error 3: Lack of compulsory fields

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"><h2 itemprop="name">Винни-Пух</h2><img src="http://example.com/image.png" itemprop="contentUrl"/><span itemprop="description">Винни-Пух и все-все-все.</span></div>Error 4: It is impossible to determine the belonging of these fields
This error can occur if the marking fields are incorrectly placed or if you used an extra attribute itemprop.

Error 6: Inability to use the link in meta-tag

Marking warnings are not always critical, but it is important to consider them in order to improve the visibility of your site in Yandex. Some of the common warnings include:
Warning 1: Incorrect field value
If the value in the field does not comply with the standard, this can lead to incorrect display. For example, the date should be in the ISO 8601 format.
Wrong:
<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012/07/15">Right:
<meta itemprop="datePublished" content="2012-07-15">Warning 2: Unknown data type
If you used a data type that is not supported by Yandex, a warning will be displayed.
Warning 3: Additional fields are needed
If the marking of your site is correct, but Yandex services will not be able to use the extracted data, you will be displayed by the appropriate warning. In this case, check the markings taking into account the recommendations of Yandex.
After successful validation of microstatic and fulfilling the requirements for the affiliate program, structured snippets can be displayed in the search results of Yandex after the next bypass of the page by the robot.
