2GIS runs an API with data on 1,000,000 organizations and the opportunity to earn

2GIS , as you probably know, is an electronic reference book on 129 cities of Russia and Ukraine. We have over 8 million users and always relevant data. Now in 2GIS more than 1 million
POI.

Now any developer of a website, mobile or social application can use them completely free of charge through the 2GIS reference API .

What is the 2GIS reference data?

This is detailed information on each organization in each city - starting with the name and contacts, ending with the time of work and methods of payment for services. It is important that the data are not simply collected - they are constantly updated and supplemented by hundreds of 2GIS call center specialists across the country.

Another feature is already in the fall, in the new version of the product, we will share with partners
advertising revenue . The unit of advertising is to view the profile of the advertiser, up to 50%
the cost of which gets a partner. Here the problem that is relevant for many sites is solved.
2GIS is engaged in the monetization, because the whole process, including the search for customers, is
700 people in the sales departments of 46 branches. It’s enough for a partner to increase its popularity
a project, get paid and spend it on holidays in Malta, for example.

The most obvious ways to use the 2GIS API are to improve the quality and quantity.
content for search and help services, city portals ( E1.ru and Kazan24.ru already
implemented API 2GIS), navigation systems, new functionality for geoservices,
thematic sites and applications. You can make and completely new applications with
original idea and our data. Including a variety of platforms. So
already made the company Wake Up Studios, for example. He released 2GIS for iPhone , beating
official version. Own 2GIS projects - online version of maps.2gis.ru and site reviews
Flamp.ru - also work on the API.

Anticipating questions: API maps will also appear soon. And not only that;)

All you need to start working with the reference API 2GIS is to fill out a short form on the site.
and get an access key. There is also documentation , examples and contact details if you suddenly have questions.

PS In fact, this post was supposed to be written by a kibik colleague, since it is he who is engaged in API 2GIS, but his karma let him down :) If you help fix the situation, I will no longer post other people's posts.
