2GIS Places Search Scraper: Extract Local Business Data Globally

---

What Is 2GIS?

2GIS is a leading online mapping and local search platform operating across Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and beyond — covering 22 countries including Russia, Kazakhstan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Czechia, Italy, Chile, and more. It hosts millions of business listings, from restaurants and hotels to shops and services, with user reviews, photos, schedules, and detailed metadata. Manually extracting this geolocation data at scale is inefficient; the 2GIS Places Search Scraper automates discovery and collection, delivering structured business intelligence instantly.

Overview

The 2GIS Places Search Scraper extracts comprehensive business and location data from 2GIS search results and detail pages across all supported regions. It is purpose-built for:

• Location intelligence professionals mapping markets and competition
• Business researchers building datasets of service providers by category and region
• Real estate analysts studying commercial landscapes and foot traffic potential
• Developers integrating local business data into mapping or aggregation platforms
• Marketing teams identifying prospects and contact opportunities

The scraper offers two flexible input modes: scrape by direct URLs or by search filters. Its key strengths include multi-region support, rich output fields, and intelligent filtering options (by website, photo availability, rating).

Input Format: Two Operating Modes

Mode 1: Scrape by URLs

Provide direct links to 2GIS search results or place pages:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://2gis.ae/dubai/search/hotel/filters/sort%3Drating%3Bbound%3Bhas_site%3Bhas_photos?m=55.33842%2C24.448456%2F9.64"
  ],
  "ignore_url_failures": true,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	Direct links to 2GIS search result pages or location detail pages. Paste URLs as-is from your browser.
ignore_url_failures	boolean	If true, skips failed URLs and continues; if false, stops on error.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of place records to extract per URL (e.g., 50).

Mode 2: Scrape by Search Filters

Search for places using keywords, region, location, and optional filters:

{
  "region": "ae",
  "location": "dubai",
  "geo": "55.33842,24.448456/9.64",
  "keyword": "hotel",
  "sort_by": "rating",
  "on_map": true,
  "has_website": true,
  "has_photo": true,
  "page": 1,
  "max_items_per_url": 50
}

Parameter	Type	Options / Description
region	string	Two-letter country code: ru, by, ua, md, kz, kg, uz, tj, am, az, ge, ae, sa, bh, qa, om, kw, cy, cz, it, cl, ng
location	string	City, postal code, or state name (e.g., dubai, moscow)
geo	string	Geographic coordinates in format latitude,longitude/zoom (e.g., 55.33842,24.448456/9.64) — narrows search to a specific map area
keyword	string	What to search for (e.g., hotel, restaurant, pharmacy)
sort_by	string	rating (sort by user ratings) or empty string (relevance)
on_map	boolean	If true, only places visible on the map are returned
has_website	boolean	If true, only places with a website are included
has_photo	boolean	If true, only places with photos are returned
page	integer	Start page number (e.g., 1) for pagination
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum results per search (e.g., 50)

Tip: Use geo coordinates to focus on specific cities or regions when searching. Omit urls if using search filters; omit search filters if using direct URLs.
