2GIS Scraper — Phones, Emails & Reviews | Парсер 2ГИС

2GIS Scraper collects public business listings and optional customer reviews from 2GIS in Dubai, Russia and Kazakhstan, for lead generation and local market research. Get business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, email addresses, social links, categories, ratings and opening hours in a dataset you can export to CSV, Excel or JSON.

2GIS is a widely used city directory in Russia and Kazakhstan and also covers Dubai and the wider UAE. One 2GIS business card can carry several phone numbers, an email address, a website and the business's social profiles. This actor turns a search such as "cafe in Dubai" or "стоматология Алматы" into rows you can filter, deduplicate and load into a CRM.

Use cases for a 2GIS scraper

• Lead generation. Build call and email lists of restaurants, clinics, salons, contractors or retailers in one city, with phones, emails and websites ready for outreach or a CRM import.
• Local market research. Count businesses per category and district, compare ratings and review counts, and see how dense a niche is before opening a location.
• Reputation monitoring. Collect the newest public reviews of your own branches or of competitors, including the official reply, and track unanswered feedback.
• Data enrichment. Start from a list of known 2GIS firm URLs and refresh their contacts, opening hours and ratings.
• Expansion into the Gulf and CIS. Map competitors in Dubai, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Almaty or Astana with one consistent schema across countries.

What the 2GIS Scraper returns

A place row represents a business branch rather than an entire organization. This matters when a chain has several addresses or when you compare businesses within one city. Each place has its own stable place_id, public 2GIS page URL and retrieval timestamp. Where available, the organization identifier and branch count help you recognize related locations.

Contact information comes from the public business listing. The actor keeps phone numbers together in phones, provides the first number as phone, and returns email addresses in lowercase without duplicates. website contains the business website URL. Social links are grouped by their contact type, such as Instagram, Facebook or Telegram. Businesses without a public contact field still appear in the dataset; the missing value is null or an empty list.

Optional reviews are separate rows. Each review includes a review identifier and the identifier, name and public URL of the business it concerns. You can join reviews to places using place_id, or filter the dataset by record_type before exporting the two groups separately.

Input

Start with queries, an array of search terms, plus a city and domain. City values use the names or slugs recognized by 2GIS, including moscow, spb, almaty, astana and dubai. The supported domains are 2gis.ru, 2gis.kz and 2gis.ae. A single target with an unknown city returns the input error Unknown 2GIS city '…' without collecting or charging any rows. In a list, invalid targets are skipped with a warning while valid targets continue. The same check applies to the city inside a search or firm URL. The domain determines the language of listing fields: Russian for the Russian and Kazakhstan domains, and English for the UAE domain. Review text stays in its original language.

You can instead supply start_urls. Accepted URLs point to a 2GIS search page or a firm page on a supported domain. A search URL supplies its own city and search term. Its /page/n starts after (n-1)*12 search results; returned positions start at 1 for the collected rows. A firm URL retrieves that specific business. A firm URL ending in /tab/reviews is also accepted. Enable include_reviews to collect its reviews.

The default limit is 100 places per search, with a range of 1 to 10,000. include_reviews defaults to false. When enabled, max_reviews defaults to 20 reviews per place, with a maximum of 5,000. Larger values collect more data and increase the number of billable rows. Start with a small search to check whether the city, term and fields meet your needs before collecting a larger dataset.

Search cafes in Dubai with up to ten reviews each:

{"queries":["cafe"],"city":"dubai","domain":"2gis.ae","limit":20,"include_reviews":true,"max_reviews":10}

Search in Russian on the Moscow catalog:

{"queries":["кафе"],"city":"moscow","domain":"2gis.ru","limit":3}

Collect one known business and its reviews:

{"start_urls":["https://2gis.ae/dubai/firm/70000001006365610"],"include_reviews":true,"max_reviews":12}

Output

Every row has record_type, either place or review. It also has _type, source, platform, fetched_at and row_id. These fields make exports easier to identify and combine with later collections.

Place rows contain firm_id, place_id, name, full_name, url, address, street, postal_code, city, state, country_code, lat, lng, category, categories, rating, reviews_count, ratings_count, phones, phone, emails, website, socials and opening_hours. Additional fields include address notes, organization information and the source update timestamp. Opening hours retain the published intervals; an interval ending after midnight remains in the day on which it starts.

Review rows contain review_id, place_id, place_name, place_url, rating, text, author_name, published_at, likes, is_verified and reply_text. When available, the actor also returns an author identifier, edit timestamp, comment count, review photo URLs, provider and official reply timestamp. All returned review timestamps are expressed in UTC. Reviews are collected newest first. Only reviews with an integer rating from 1 to 5 are delivered; unrated entries from other providers are skipped while collection continues through the available pages.

Written reviews and star-only ratings are different measures. reviews_count is the count of written reviews reported for a place. ratings_count also includes ratings without review text. A place can therefore have a larger ratings count than reviews count. Neither field promises that the actor will collect that many rows; your max_reviews determines the requested limit.

Example place row

A real place row from the firm-URL input above, collected on 6 October 2026 (opening hours shortened to two days). Listings change, so a new run can return different values.

A search row also carries the search term and its position in the results. From the Moscow input above, the first result was the bar "Руки Вверх!" at Можайское шоссе, 45Б with query: "кафе", position: 1, rating 4.8 from 332 reviews and the phone +74951205368.

Pricing

Places and reviews are separate billable events. Contacts belong to the place row and have no separate contact event. The actor's pricing panel shows the current price for each event. There is no custom run-start event in this product's billing configuration, and empty results produce no place or review event. Billing counts the rows actually delivered to the dataset, after deduplication and any free-plan cap.

Users without a paid Apify plan receive at most ten dataset rows per run. This is a combined cap across places and reviews. Paid users retain their requested place and review limits. If you enable reviews on the free plan, the ten available rows may include both types; check record_type when interpreting the export.

How this 2GIS scraper compares

	This actor	Typical alternatives
Places and reviews	One actor, one dataset, joined by place_id	Often a separate places actor and reviews actor
Contacts	Phones, emails, website and social links included in the place price	Sometimes billed as an extra contact event
Countries	2gis.ru, 2gis.kz and 2gis.ae, one schema	Often one domain or Russian-only fields
Run-start fee	None	Some charge per start
Opening hours	Structured intervals per weekday	Often a text string

Compared with a Google Maps scraper, this actor reads a different source: 2GIS has its own catalog, categories and reviews for Russian, Kazakh and Emirati cities. Many teams run both and join the results on phone number or website.

Collection behavior

The actor continues larger searches automatically. Each collection response can contain a continuation cursor, and the actor follows it while keeping the original search settings. API users can pass next_cursor back as cursor with the same input. Changing a search term or limit while reusing a cursor is rejected, because the continuation belongs to the original request.

Public listings and reviews can change during a collection. Stable row identifiers help avoid duplicates, but this is a current public-data collection rather than a historical snapshot. If an individual review request fails, the business row remains available and the output reports a warning. Check partial and warnings in the output record before using a collection as a complete sample.

FAQ

Which cities and countries does the 2GIS Scraper support?

Any city on 2gis.ru, 2gis.kz and 2gis.ae, such as Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Almaty, Astana and Dubai. Choose the domain that matches the city; Russian and Kazakhstan listings come in Russian, UAE listings in English.

Can I collect only a specific business?

Yes. Put its public 2GIS firm URL in start_urls. You receive one place row, and optional review rows if include_reviews is enabled. This is useful when you already have a list of business URLs and want comparable contacts or review fields.

Are reviews nested inside the business row?

No. Reviews are dataset rows with record_type: review. Their place_id matches the business identifier, making the relationship explicit in CSV exports, database imports and other tabular workflows.

Why is a phone, website or rating missing?

The actor reports the fields available in the public listing. Some businesses publish fewer contacts or have no rating yet. Missing values are preserved as null or empty lists so you can distinguish unavailable data from a filled field.

Can I search in Russian?

Yes. Search terms are passed as written, so "кафе", "стоматология" or "автосервис" work on the Russian and Kazakhstan domains, and English terms work on 2gis.ae.

Does the actor translate reviews or collect private information?

It returns public review text as published, without translation. It does not request private customer records. Use the returned public business and review data in accordance with the source's terms and the requirements that apply to your use case.
