Static API overview
Static API service generates and displays a static 2GIS map image on web pages and in applications without using JavaScript.
The image is generated based on parameters specified in the URL: image size, map center coordinates, map zoom level, and parameters of additional objects (markers, lines, and polygons).
Use Static API in the following cases:
- on websites to show a map preview
- in applications where interactivity is not needed
- on pages to be printed out (for example, delivery sheets)
Getting started
To use the service, create a URL and place it in the <img> tag on your website or application. You can place the map image anywhere on the website.
For example, the following link generates a map image with additional objects:
https://static.maps.2gis.com/1.0?s=880x450&z=14&pt=55.03652,82.91871&ls=55.03652,82.91871,55.02711,82.92131,55.02470,82.92698~w:5&pt=55.02470,82.92698~k:c~n:1&ls=55.03652,82.91871,55.03758,82.93058,55.04042,82.92996~c:ff0000&pt=55.04042,82.92996~k:c~n:2&pn=55.03687,82.89827,55.04067,82.90925,55.03636,82.91355,55.03264,82.91062,55.03489,82.90021~c:03ee10~f:03ee10a0&pt=55.03484,82.92290~k:c~c:pe
Playground
To obtain a link to a static map image, specify the image size, coordinates of the map center, and the map zoom level.
