FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The 2GIS API is publicly accessible without a proxy. The actor connects directly from Apify servers.

Do I need an API key? No signup is required. The built-in demo key works out of the box for up to ~50 results per search. For more results, register a free key at platform.2gis.ru (no credit card required) and enter it in the API Key field.

How many results can I get? With the demo key: up to ~50 results per search query+city combination. With a registered free key: hundreds or thousands depending on how many places exist for that query in the city.

Can I search in Russian or Arabic? Yes. Paste 2GIS URLs with Cyrillic or Arabic queries directly into Start URLs, or type a query in any language in the Search Queries field alongside a Location (e.g. Location: "Москва", Query: "кофе").

Can I scrape reviews? Reviews require a registered API key (the demo key does not support the reviews endpoint). Enable "Include Reviews", set "Max Reviews per Place", and provide your registered key in the API Key field.

Can I get photos? Photo URLs require a registered API key. Enable "Include Photos" and provide your registered key.

Can I filter by category? Yes. Use the Category IDs (Rubric IDs) field. Find IDs by browsing 2GIS categories at 2gis.com/catalog and noting the ID in the URL.

What cities are supported? Any city listed on 2GIS — over 500 cities across 10+ countries in Russia, CIS, and the Middle East.

Why are some fields missing for some places? 2GIS listings vary in completeness. The actor only outputs fields that contain real data — no null or empty values appear in the output.

Can I scrape a specific place directly? Yes. Paste a 2GIS firm URL (e.g. https://2gis.ae/dubai/firm/nobu/70000001035586092) into Start URLs to fetch data for that specific place.
