How G2 Reviews Scraper Works

1. Point it at a category ("CRM Software") or leave it blank to start from G2's full category directory
2. It walks the category's product listing, page by page, collecting every product link
3. Each product page is read for its rating, review count, vendor, and the other fields below
4. Records stream to your dataset as they're collected, up to maxItems

}

Field	Type	Description
product_name	String	Product name as listed on G2.
vendor_name	String	The vendor/company behind the product.
category	String	G2's parent category for this product (e.g. "Sales Tools").
subcategory	String	G2's specific subcategory (e.g. "CRM Software").
g2_rating	Number	Aggregate star rating out of 5.
review_count	Number	Number of reviews the rating is based on.
description	String	G2's summary description for the product.
company_size_fit	Array	Reviewer company-size segments represented (Small-Business, Mid-Market, Enterprise).
languages_supported	Array	Languages the product supports, as listed by the vendor.
top_alternatives	Array	Other products G2 surfaces as top-rated alternatives.
product_url	String	Canonical G2 URL for the product's review page.

Some fields are sparse by nature — a low-review product may not have company_size_fit data yet, and languages_supported/top_alternatives depend on what the vendor and G2's own algorithm have populated for that listing.

FAQ

Does this need a G2 account?

No. Runs against G2's public category and product pages.

Can I scrape a specific category only?

Yes — set category to the category's display name ("CRM Software") or its URL slug ("crm"). Leave it blank to walk the full category directory instead.

Why is g2_rating or review_count sometimes missing?

A product with very few or no reviews doesn't carry a rating widget yet. The field comes back null rather than a guessed value.

Does it return individual review text?

No — this actor returns product-level aggregate data (rating, review count, vendor, category, alternatives), not individual review content.

Why Use G2 Reviews Scraper?

• Category-aware by default — every record carries the category and subcategory G2 itself assigns, so you can segment results without a second lookup.
• Built for competitive research — top-rated alternatives ship on every record, not as a separate call.
• Scales from one category to the whole catalogue — the same input shape handles a 50-item competitive scan or a full-directory pull.
