G2 Software Reviews, Product Info & Competitor Extractor

Scrape G2 — the B2B software marketplace with millions of verified user reviews — for any product. Pull reviews with ratings, pros, cons and reviewer context; collect a product's profile summary (rating, review count, categories, pricing plans); or list the competitors G2 shows for a product. Works from a G2 product URL or just a slug, no account or setup required.

What this actor does

• Three modes: collect reviews, product info, or competitor lists for any G2 product.
• Review filters: star rating, reviewer company size, reviewer role, reviewer region, and publication date range.
• Deep review coverage: goes beyond the handful of reviews G2 shows by default — request hundreds or thousands per product.
• Any input shape: full G2 URLs or bare slugs (notion, slack, hubspot-marketing-hub), mixed freely in one run.
• Empty fields are omitted — every record only contains values G2 actually provides.

FAQ

Do I need a G2 account or API key?

No. The actor reads pages and feeds G2 already makes public.

Can I get more than the reviews G2 shows on a product page?

Yes. For mode=reviews the actor combines G2's own filter views (stars, company size, role, region) while de-duplicating results, so common products yield hundreds to thousands of distinct reviews per run. maxItems caps the output.

Why are some companySize or authorRole values missing?

G2 makes reviewer details optional when someone submits a review. Across a 400-review sample, company size is published for about 80% of reviews, and roughly one in four roles is G2's anonymised "G2 User" placeholder rather than a real job role. Missing values are omitted rather than guessed.

What does rating mean next to starRating?

rating is the exact value G2 publishes on its 0–5 scale (including halves like 4.5). starRating is the star bucket (1–5) the review belongs to — useful for grouping. A few reviews legitimately carry a 0.0 rating; that is G2's lowest value, not missing data.

Does each review include sub-ratings (ease of use, support) or "switched from" data?

No — G2 does not publish per-review sub-ratings, themes, or switching data on any public page; those appear only for signed-in users or through G2's enterprise API. This actor returns the complete public surface: rating, title, pros/cons/problems, reviewer context and dates.

Can I filter by date range?

Yes — set fromDate and/or toDate and only matching reviews are returned. Both are inclusive.

How fresh is the data?

Every run reads G2 live; nothing is cached between runs.

Do I need to set up a proxy?

No. The actor chooses a working connection to G2 automatically. Just fill in the input and run.

Is this affiliated with G2?

No. This actor reads publicly available G2 pages and feeds; it is not operated by or affiliated with G2.com.
