Purchasing an API subscription

To start using the paid 2GIS maps, navigation, and search APIs, purchase a subscription in the Platform Manager personal account. For available services, prices, and restrictions, see Pricing and limits.

  • Subscription is a package of services and usage limits. Within a subscription, you create API keys that provide access to the purchased service package and consume the specified limits. If the subscription is inactive (expired or unpaid), the API keys also stop working.
  • API key is a unique access key that you specify when working with services. Each API key by default has access to all the services included in the subscription.

You can create a free demo key for one month to test the 2GIS APIs functionality.

Purchasing a subscription​

  1. Register in the Platform Manager personal account.

  2. Go to the Dashboard tab and click Buy Subscription.

    Subscription purchase

    If you do not see the Buy Subscription button in the interface, click Submit Purchase Request to purchase a subscription and skip the steps below. Once the subscription is created, you can proceed with managing access keys and viewing statistics.

  3. Select the payment period: 1 month or 1 year.

  4. Select the services you need access to. You can select separate services or a prepared set depending on the task, for example, searching for a business on the map or building routes.

    Selecting services

    If the services are not sufficient during operation, you can purchase additional services.

  5. For each service, specify the limit on the number of requests or responses (depending on the service) per month.

    If service usage exceeds the limit after you purchase a subscription, the API key is suspended until the beginning of the next month. You can change the limits for services of the key within the subscription or purchase additional limits in the subscription. The service is unlocked after that.
