Built for software shortlists, competitor rating benchmarks, SaaS market maps and vendor lead lists.

What you get

One row per product, every row carrying the same fields:

Field	What it is
productName	Product name, from G2's own payload
vendorName, vendorUrl, vendorId	Who makes it
starRating	e.g. 4.1 (out of 5)
reviewCount	e.g. 2946
description	G2's product blurb
relatedCategories	Category slugs the product sits in
productUrl, reviewsUrl	Canonical G2 links
productId, productUuid	Stable G2 identifiers
searchQuery, page, rank	Which search found it and where it ranked
categoryName, categoryProductCount	The category headline, when G2 shows one

About 20 products per search page, and pagination works.

Filters

requireRating · minRating · minReviews · maxPagesPerQuery · maxResults

Filters run inside the crawl, so a filtered-out product never costs you anything.

Pricing

$0.003 per product. You are charged only for rows actually delivered to your dataset. A search that matches nothing costs $0 and tells you why.

Honest limits

Please read this before buying — it defines what this actor is:

• This scrapes G2's SEARCH results, not individual review text. G2's category pages, product pages and product-review pages are all HTTP 403 for logged-out clients (verified, including via Googlebot). Search is the only surface that serves. So you get each product's aggregate rating and review count — not the individual written reviews.
• G2 blocks a share of requests. Measured 7 of 8 fresh sessions succeeded; the actor retries on a fresh proxy session, and the residential proxy is required.
• categoryName / categoryProductCount appear only on category-style searches (like "crm"), because that's the only time G2 renders the headline. Every product still carries relatedCategories.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/g2-scraper').call({
    "queries": [
        "crm"
    ],
    "maxPagesPerQuery": 2,
    "maxResults": 40,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server - describe the data you need and let the assistant run this Actor for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

FAQ

Can I schedule it and get results automatically? Yes - create a Schedule and add a webhook or an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier) to push each run's dataset wherever you need it.

Which export formats are available? Every run's dataset can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML or RSS from the Apify Console or the API.

Can I run it from code or an AI agent? Yes - through the Apify API and client libraries, or from Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants via the Apify MCP server.

Tips

• minReviews is the most useful filter — it strips the long tail of products with 2 reviews and leaves the real market.
• Run the same queries on a schedule and dedupe on productSlug to track rating and review-count drift over time; that's a genuine competitive-intelligence signal.
• rank plus searchQuery lets you monitor where you sit in G2's own search ordering.
