2GIS Scraper: Extract Business Data from Russia and CIS Countries at Scale

Direct Answer

2GIS Scraper extracts business data from 2GIS (2gis.ru), the largest business directory in Russia, Kazakhstan, UAE, Uzbekistan and 16+ CIS countries. Get phone numbers, emails, websites, ratings, reviews, addresses, GPS coordinates, and working hours for any business category across 200+ cities at $4 per 1,000 results.

If you’re building a CIS-focused B2B business, 2GIS is non-negotiable. It’s the Yellow Pages equivalent for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and this actor makes harvesting it at scale trivial.

Why 2GIS Matters

Google Maps is nearly useless in Russia and CIS. Here’s why:

• Google Maps coverage in Russia/Kazakhstan/CIS is 40-60% of what 2GIS has
• Russian businesses actively avoid Google for regulatory reasons
• 2GIS dominates: 50+ million monthly users, 6 million+ businesses listed
• It’s THE source for finding local contacts in CIS markets

If you’re doing B2B sales, market research, franchise expansion, or partnerships across Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, or the UAE, you’re missing 60% of potential leads without 2GIS data.

Competitor Comparison

Aspect	2GIS Scraper	Zen Studio	Manual Scraping	Official 2GIS API
Price per 1K results	$4	$4.50	$0 (your time)	Enterprise (quote)
Success Rate	95%+	82%	Variable	99%+
Speed	5-10 min/1K	15-20 min	Hours	Real-time
Data Fields	15+ core fields	40+ params	Depends	50+ fields
Reviews Included	Yes	Limited	Manual	Yes
Email Extraction	Yes (90% accuracy)	Yes	Manual	Yes
Free Tier	First 100 results	None	N/A	Quote required
Setup Complexity	2 minutes	Technical	Days	Enterprise process

Bottom line: Official API requires enterprise contract (3-6 month sales cycle). Zen Studio is 12% more expensive and has lower success. Manual scraping costs 10-50x more in your time.

How to Run It

2. Open the actor, navigate to https://apify.com/tugelbay/2gis-scraper
3. Enter your search parameters, query (e.g., “dentists”), city (e.g., “Moscow”), optional maxResults limit
4. Click “Try for Free” or “Start Run”, first 100 results cost nothing
5. Download results, CSV, JSON, or direct API integration once run completes (typically 5-15 minutes)

No coding required. No proxy setup needed. We handle all blocking/CAPTCHAs internally.

Pricing

$4 per 1,000 results. First 100 free.

Real-world examples:

• 500 dentists in Moscow = $2
• 2,000 restaurants across St. Petersburg = $8
• 5,000 businesses in Astana, Kazakhstan = $20
• 10,000 businesses across all major CIS cities = $40

Compare to Google Maps scraping at ~$0.001-0.01 per result (10-100x more expensive) or paying a VA $15/hour to manually copy-paste names.

Who Is This For

B2B Sales in CIS Markets

Cold outreach lists for tech, services, consulting. 2GIS phone numbers are 95% accurate and actively maintained by business owners.

Real Estate Agencies

Find commercial properties, landlord contacts, tenant businesses in target districts.

Marketing Agencies

Build prospecting lists for clients entering Russia or Kazakhstan. Resell packaged data as a service.

Market Researchers

Analyze competition, pricing, service offerings across geographic regions. 2GIS ratings track sentiment better than aggregators.

Franchise Operators

Map existing competitors and identify white-space territories before expanding into Siberia, Central Asia, or the UAE.

Import/Export Businesses

Find wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors in specific industries across CIS. Essential for supply chain mapping.

What It Does NOT Do

• Russia/CIS only. 2GIS only operates in Russia, Kazakhstan, UAE, Uzbekistan, and 16 CIS countries. No US, Europe, or other markets.
• No intent data. This is directory extraction, not behavioral intent. You get what’s published on 2GIS, nothing more.
• Static snapshots. Data reflects 2GIS state at run time. Businesses close, phones change. Re-run quarterly for freshness.
• No personal contact info. 2GIS does not publish personal mobile numbers for owners (only business lines). No email scraping from other sources.
• No verification. Phone numbers are from 2GIS listings. Some may be outdated. We recommend re-verification before cold outreach.

Practical Example: Map All Dental Clinics in Moscow

Query: "dentists"
City: "Moscow"
Max Results: 1000

The actor returns 1,000 dental clinics with phones, emails, addresses, ratings, and reviews. You now have:

• Lead list: Cold call or email outreach to all 1,000 clinics with your implant supplier, practice management software, or staffing service.
• Competitive analysis: Which clinics have the highest ratings? What services do top performers offer? Any geographic gaps?
• Partnership mapping: Find clinic chains and multi-location operators (easier targets for enterprise deals).
• Content relevance: Write blog posts and ads targeting specific clinic names and neighborhoods.

Cost: ~$4 for 1,000 results. Manual collection: 40+ hours at $15/hour = $600.

Final Assessment & Next Steps

2GIS Scraper is the cheapest, fastest way to build a qualified B2B list in CIS markets. It’s especially powerful if you combine it with:

• Google Maps Leads Extractor for parallel extraction in overlapping categories
• Apify Web Scraping Platform for scaling multiple data sources
• Custom CRM workflows to auto-verify and prioritize leads

If you’re entering Russia, Kazakhstan, or any CIS market without 2GIS data, you’re missing 60% of your addressable market.
