G2.com Scraper

Extract software listings from G2.com category pages, including ratings, reviews, pricing, pros and cons highlights, market segment breakdowns, and direct product URLs.

What it does

G2.com is a peer-to-peer software review platform with millions of verified reviews. This scraper takes any G2.com category page URL and collects all listings, paginating automatically.

For each listing it collects:

• Product name, slug, and direct URL to the G2 reviews page
• Logo URL
• Vendor name and vendor page URL
• Average star rating and total review count
• Entry level pricing
• Full product description
• Pros highlights (top positive aspects from reviewers)
• Cons highlights (top negative aspects from reviewers)
• Typical user roles and industries
• Market segment breakdown (Small-Business / Mid-Market / Enterprise percentages)
• Category name and ID

Why it matters

G2 ratings come from verified buyers. The market segment field is the one worth paying attention to — a 4.2 from mostly SMB users reads differently than a 4.2 from enterprise teams. Same number, different story.

The pros and cons are aggregated from reviewer text. You get the recurring themes rather than individual opinions. When "Learning Curve" shows up in the cons column for five tools in a row, that's the category telling you something.

Schedule it and you get a running record. Useful for watching what happens to a competitor's score after a rough release, or spotting a newer product quietly picking up reviews before it shows up anywhere else.

urls	Array of strings	required	One or more G2.com category page URLs
maxItems	Integer	25	Maximum listings to collect across all URLs (up to 50000)

Tip: G2 category slugs are predictable. If you know the category name, try /categories/the-category-name with hyphens. Most work on the first guess.

Pagination

The actor reads the total page count from each category page and paginates automatically.

• maxItems: 15 = 1 page per URL
• maxItems: 150 = 10 pages per URL
• maxItems: 975 = 65 pages (full CRM category)
• maxItems: 50000 = maximum supported value

Scheduled runs

1. Open your actor and click Schedules
2. Set a cron expression. 0 8 * * 1 runs every Monday at 8 AM
3. Save

Each run appends fresh data. Run weekly for a few months and you have a genuine time-series of category ratings, review counts, and market segment shifts.

Best practices

Run with maxItems: 15 first to confirm the URL works before scaling up.

Market segment data only appears when enough users from each company size have reviewed a product. Newer or lightly-reviewed products may return null here — that's expected.

The pros and cons highlights are G2's own aggregation of reviewer language, not individual quotes. They're better for bulk comparison across a category than reading individual reviews one by one.

If you want to track a specific set of tools rather than a whole category, collect the full category once, filter to the products you care about, then use their individual G2 review URLs for deeper scraping.

Export to Google Sheets via the Apify integration tab. New runs append rows automatically, giving you a live sheet that updates on every scheduled run without any manual work.
