Compared to alternatives

  • vs other 2GIS Places scrapers on the Store — pay-per-result billing means empty or failed searches cost nothing; you are not charged for a run that returns zero rows.
  • vs building your own — no proxy management, markup-change maintenance, or infrastructure to run; paste inputs and consume the dataset.

Limitations

  • Requires a 2GIS API key — supply your own via the apiKey field.

  • Coverage is strong in 2GIS's markets and thin elsewhere.

  • API quota is on your key — large extractions need quota planning.

  • Use public data lawfully and respect applicable privacy and platform rules.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Yes — supply your own key via the input field; the Actor bills per result, API usage bills to your key's account.

What happens when a search returns nothing?

The run completes with zero rows. Per-result billing means you are not charged for empty output.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes — attach an Apify schedule or use the saved tasks to re-run the same inputs daily or weekly.
