  • page_size — the number of objects per page
  • page parameters — the page number.

https://catalog.api.2gis.com/3.0/items?q=Moscow cafe&type=branch&key=YOUR_KEY

For more accurate search without geographical restrictions you should specify the city (village, district, region) where the search should be performed in the text of the query.


https://catalog.api.2gis.com/3.0/items?q=cafe&type=branch&point=37.416469%2C55.619325&radius=1000&key=YOUR_KEY

https://catalog.api.2gis.com/3.0/items?q=cafe&point=37.545423%2C55.740693&radius=1000&sort_point=37.545423%2C55.740693&sort=distance&key=YOUR_KEY

https://catalog.api.2gis.com/3.0/items?q=cafe&sort_point=37.545423%2C55.740693&key=YOUR_KEY

Objects closest to the point will be displayed first. There is no need to specify a city in the query.

You can find the following data in the response:

  • links.nearest_stations — information on the nearest public transport stops. Transport types are prioritized as follows:

    • If an object is located near the metro (within a radius of 1.5-2 km), a list of the nearest transport stops will contain only metro stations (including light metro and MCC).
    • If an object is located far from the metro or a searched city does not have a metro, one nearest (within a radius of 1 km) transport stop is returned. Suburban train has the lowest priority.
    • If no metro station or public transport stop is found within the search radius, the nearest (within a radius of 3 km) train station is returned.
  • links.nearest_parking — IDs of the nearest parking lots.
