G2 Products Scraper
Scrape G2 product listings from any category, search, or URL, up to 100,000 per run. Every product comes with its name, vendor, rating, review count, and category. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
G2's official API needs a partner agreement, OAuth, and rate-limits you. This reads the public product pages directly, filtered by category, search term, or URL, and returns each match in one fixed schema. It is the fastest way to build a dataset of software products for market analysis, competitive research, or lead generation.
| Who uses it | What they scrape G2 for |
|---|---|
| Market researchers | Which software categories are growing fastest this quarter |
| Sales teams | A list of vendors in a niche with their ratings and review counts |
| Product managers | How competitors position their products and what features they highlight |
| Investors | A snapshot of the competitive landscape in a software segment |
What it does
This Actor collects G2 product listings by category, search query, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔍 Category and search scraping: start from any G2 category page or search results URL.
- 📄 Direct URL scraping: paste a single product page URL to extract its details.
- ⚙️ Max items control: set a hard limit on the number of products returned per run.
- 📦 Flat row output: every product is one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the start URL is a valid G2 category, search, or product page. If you used a search URL, make sure the query returns results on G2 itself. Also try increasing the max items value.
Why did the run stop before reaching my max items?
The Actor stops when it has scraped all products available on the page or pages it can access. If the category has fewer products than your max items, you will get fewer rows.
Why are some product fields empty?
Not every G2 product page shows the same information. Some vendors may not have a rating or review count yet, so those fields will be empty in the output.
Why did I get a timeout or error?
G2 may rate-limit aggressive scraping. Try reducing the max items, running during off-peak hours, or adding a delay between requests if you are using a custom version.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What data does this scraper return for each product? | Each product row includes the product name, vendor name, G2 rating, number of reviews, and the category it belongs to. The exact fields are shown in the sample output below. |
| Can I scrape a specific G2 category? | Yes. Paste the category URL, for example https://www.g2.com/categories/project-management, into the start URL field and the Actor will scrape all products listed there. |
| Can I scrape G2 search results? | Yes. Use a search URL like https://www.g2.com/search?query=payroll and the Actor will return the products that appear in those results. |
| Can I scrape a single product page? | Yes. Paste the direct product URL and the Actor will return that product as one row in the dataset. |
| How many products can I scrape in one run? | You can set the maximum items field to any number. The default is 100, but you can raise it to scrape thousands of products in a single run. |
| Do I need a G2 account or API key? | No. The Actor reads the public G2 website, so no login, API key, or registration is required. |
| Is this legal? | You should only scrape public data that you are allowed to access. Check G2's terms of service and your local laws before scraping at scale. |
| Can I schedule this scraper to run automatically? | Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run it daily, weekly, or on any cron schedule, and get notified when new data is ready. |
| What formats can I export the data to? | You can export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify dataset, or use the API to pull the data into your own system. |
| Does this scraper get product reviews too? | No, this Actor focuses on product listings. If you need reviews, look for a dedicated G2 reviews scraper on Apify Store. |
