Adding Yandex Satellite TMS via QGIS Python console

Question

I add a TileMapService layer to QGIS map window using a Python console. But added layer is not displayed. What is wrong?

tmsLayer_name = 'YandexSat'
uri = "url=http://sat04.maps.yandex.net/tiles?l=sat&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&zmax=19&zmin=0&type=xyz"
tms_layer = QgsRasterLayer(uri,tmsLayer_name,'wms')
if not tms_layer.isValid():
 print ("Layer failed to load!")
else:
 QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(tms_layer)

At the same time QMS perfectly displays the same layer:

Answer 1

The uri looks good:

uri = "url=http://sat04.maps.yandex.net/tiles?l=sat&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&zmax=19&zmin=0&type=xyz"

but in certain places it requires the percent-encoding.

As soon as you convert the uri into:

uri = "url=http://sat04.maps.yandex.net/tiles?l%3Dsat%26x%3D%7Bx%7D%26y%3D%7By%7D%26z%3D%7Bz%7D&zmax=19&zmin=0&type=xyz"

where:

%3D <=> =
%26 <=> &
%7B <=> {
%7D <=> }

it should work, see image below
