Following the 2GIS API API, we are pleased to present a beta version of the API maps. Now, any site can use for free not only accurate and current data on 1.2 million organizations in Russia, but equally high-quality maps.
The 2GIS maps cover 140 cities and over 4,000 settlements with details up to fences, kiosks, and intra quarter passages. More than 700 employees work on the relevance and completeness of the data in 2GIS, maps are updated every month (and the data are already
every day ).
Functionally, the API offers developers the necessary set of methods for working with the map. We do not plan to introduce any fee for using API cards, and to get started, no key is required.
The API will be useful for both simple corporate sites for displaying offices on a map, as
ITConstruct or
Irkutsk Design Studio 38 did, and for more complex implementations. For example, the Internet magazine Sib. Fm shows a map in those publications where it
complements the content . The Barnaul portal Altapress
added it to the previously integrated through the API directory of city organizations. And sites about real estate "
Favorite City " and "
Eklmn " posted on the pages with ads. In addition, the Siberian Networks provider offers a
map of WiFi points in Novokuznetsk and Osinnikov. The API also uses the browser extension “
What Where? »And the most recently
updated online version of 2GIS.

In our immediate plans: adapting the API for mobile platforms, close integration with the API of the directory and, of course, new content - data of public transport in all cities of presence and methods for working with reviews. Details and documentation are available
on the product website .
PS We launched not only the API maps and the new
online version , but also the long-awaited
version for the iPhone , so if we don’t immediately respond to comments, do not worry, please.
