| Parameter | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | query | yes | string | What to search for, in the city's own language — кафе, pharmacy, kavárna. A query 2GIS cannot match does not come back empty: it returns unrelated real businesses at near-zero relevance under a healthy 200. Check is_partial_match before trusting the rows. |
| `city` | query | yes | string | A 2GIS city slug — the segment in its own URL, e.g. moscow, spb, dubai, almaty, praha. /v1/2gis/cities lists all 206, and the value is not guessable from a country: 2GIS is organised by city, not by nation. |
| `page` | query | no | integer | Page of results; pages run to ceil(total / page_size). De-duplicate on id when combining pages. Default: 1. |
| `page_size` | query | no | integer | How many places per page, at most 50. This is a closed set upstream rather than a ceiling that clamps: 2GIS answers a larger value with paramIsOutsideSet and returns nothing at all. Default: 20. |
| `locale` | query | no | string | One of the city's own locales, e.g. ru_RU or en_AE. Defaults to the city's default. Not a translation layer: a locale the region does not offer is rejected by 2GIS outright — Dubai serves en_AE and refuses en_US. /v1/2gis/cities lists each city's set. |

## Example request

```bash
curl "https://api.toolzerhub.com/v1/2gis/search?query=<query>&city=<city>" \
