2GIS Places Scraper

Compact Apify Actor that scrapes 2GIS place data from search URLs using a robust two-phase strategy:

1. Collect firm IDs from search listings (API interception + fallback extraction)
2. Open firm pages and extract full SSR profile data

Why this Actor

• Keeps output close to rich 2GIS profile structure
• Handles blocking with automatic proxy fallback
• Saves records live to dataset during the run
• Supports bulk input URLs

Key Features

• Two-phase scraping flow based on Playwright
• Proxy chain: direct -> datacenter -> residential
• Residential sticky mode after first successful fallback
• Residential retries (up to 3 attempts)
• Random delay (1-2 seconds) between requests
• Detailed Apify logs for visibility

Input

{
  "urls": [
    { "url": "https://2gis.ru/moscow/search/%D0%A0%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD" }
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "includeContacts": true,
  "headless": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Input fields

• urls: Required. Bulk list of 2GIS search URLs.
• maxItems: Max items scraped per search URL.
• includeContacts: Keep/remove phone/email/website/socials.
• headless: Headless browser mode toggle.
• proxyConfiguration: Apify proxy editor field. Actor still starts direct by design, then applies fallback chain on block.

Output

Dataset records include fields like:

• id, title, shortName, extension, url
• rubrics, category, totalScore, reviewsCount, ratingCount
• summary, country, region, city, district, street, houseNumber, address
• mainPhotoUrl, location, working_hours, nearestStations, attributeGroups
• brand, detailsType, searchString, searchUrl, pageNumber, scrapedAt
• Optional contacts: phoneText, phoneValue, email, website, socials

How it handles blocking

By default requests are sent without proxy.

If 2GIS blocks/rejects traffic:

1. Switch to datacenter proxy
2. If still blocked, switch to residential proxy
3. Retry with residential up to 3 times
4. Once residential works, keep residential for all remaining requests

Proxy transitions are logged clearly in Apify logs.
