Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## G2 Reviews Scraper Extract software reviews for any product on G2 without a login or API key. Give it one or more product slugs or product review URLs and get back structured reviews: who wrote the review, their role and company size, the star rating, what they liked best, what they disliked, the problems the product solved for them, plus a permalink and publish date. ### What it does - **Reviews by product** - pass a product slug (like `slack`) or a full product review URL and the scraper returns the product's reviews as clean structured records. - **Structured fields** - each review is split into reviewer identity, role, company size, star rating, and the standard liked / disliked / problems-solved sections rather than one blob of text. - **Many products at once** - pass a list of products and they are processed in parallel. - **Clean output** - every field is always present, ready to load into a sheet, database, or analysis pipeline. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `products` | array | Product slugs or product review URLs. Example: `acme-crm`, or `https://www.g2.com/products/acme-crm/reviews`. | | `maxReviewsPerProduct` | integer | Cap on reviews returned per product. Default 25. | | `concurrency` | integer | Products processed in parallel. Default 5. | | `proxyConfig` | object | Apify proxy. RESIDENTIAL is the default and recommended. | At least one entry in `products` is required. #### How to find a product slug The slug is the name in the product URL. For `https://www.g2.com/products/acme-crm/reviews` the slug is `acme-crm`. You can paste the full URL or just the slug. #### Example input ```json { "products": ["acme-crm", "https://www.g2.com/products/example-app/reviews"], "maxReviewsPerProduct": 25, "concurrency": 3 } ```` ### Output Each item is a single review tagged with a `type` of `review`. ```json { "type": "review", "id": "12345678", "product": "Acme CRM", "productSlug": "acme-crm", "title": "Great fit for a growing sales team", "reviewer": "Jane D", "reviewerIndustry": null, "reviewerRole": "Administrator", "companySize": "51-200 employees", "rating": 4.5, "likedBest": "The pipeline view is easy to read and the automations save a lot of time.", "disliked": "Reporting could be more flexible for custom fields.", "problemsSolved": "It keeps our whole team aligned on deal stages and follow-ups.", "answers": [ { "question": "What do you like best about Acme CRM?", "answer": "The pipeline view is easy to read and the automations save a lot of time." }, { "question": "What do you dislike about Acme CRM?", "answer": "Reporting could be more flexible for custom fields." }, { "question": "What problems is Acme CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?", "answer": "It keeps our whole team aligned on deal stages and follow-ups." } ], "url": "https://www.g2.com/products/acme-crm/reviews/acme-crm-review-12345678", "publishedAt": "2026-06-15T18:04:40.000Z", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-17T09:00:00.000Z" } ``` Every field is always present. Unknown values are `null`. When a reviewer chose to stay anonymous, `reviewer` is `null` and `reviewerIndustry` carries their industry instead. ### Use cases - Monitor what customers say about a product on a schedule. - Build a dataset of reviews for sentiment analysis or research. - Track the liked and disliked themes for products in your market. - Pull recent reviews into a sheet for the team to read. ### Notes - A run uses the Apify proxy you select. RESIDENTIAL gives the most reliable results. - If a product is temporarily unavailable, the item is returned with a generic status (`upstream_unavailable`, `upstream_rate_limit`, or `not_found`) so a single failure never stops the run. - The number of reviews available per product in a single run is bounded by the most recent window the public source exposes. ### Privacy To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected. # Actor input Schema ## `products` (type: `array`): Product slugs or product review URLs to scrape. A slug is the name in the product URL, for example slack from https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews. You can paste the full URL or just the slug. ## `maxReviewsPerProduct` (type: `integer`): Cap on how many reviews to return per product, most recent first. To gather more across a market, pass several products at once. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many products to process in parallel. Higher is faster but puts more load on proxies. ## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`): Apify proxy. RESIDENTIAL is the default and recommended option for the most reliable results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "products": [ "slack" ], "maxReviewsPerProduct": 25, "concurrency": 5, "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `reviews` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "products": [ "slack" ], "proxyConfig": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("goat255/g2-reviews-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
