How it works

G2.com's website sits behind Cloudflare + DataDome. This actor uses a different approach that doesn't require browser rendering or JavaScript execution — no anti-bot stack to fight in the first place.

G2 API Alternative — No Anti-Bot, No Blocking

Looking for a G2 API? G2 doesn't offer a public API for extracting reviews. This Actor is a G2 API alternative — it returns clean, structured review data with no browser and no proxy.

Unlike G2's official data export (limited to paying G2 customers), this Actor lets anyone extract G2 reviews at scale for competitive intelligence, market research, and product analysis.

Scrape G2 reviews with Python, JavaScript, or no code

Use this Actor directly from the Apify platform (no coding required), or call it programmatically via the Apify API from Python, JavaScript, or any language:

Python example:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("zhorex/g2-reviews-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "reviews",
    "productUrls": ["https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews"],
    "maxReviews": 100
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript example:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('zhorex/g2-reviews-scraper').call({
    mode: 'reviews',
    productUrls: ['https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews'],
    maxReviews: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

FAQ

Does this need a proxy? No. The data path used by this Actor is publicly accessible without authentication or IP restrictions.

Why doesn't this Actor need a browser? G2's frontend (www.g2.com) sits behind Cloudflare + DataDome. This actor does not use that frontend.

Can I get reviewer email or full company name? No. The API only exposes the reviewer's display name, country, region, and company segment code (small-business, mid-market, enterprise).

What's the max reviews per product? 50,000 per run. The actor uses cursor-based pagination, which has no offset limit.

How fresh is the data? Reviews appear within hours of being published on G2. The data is live, not cached.

What if the data path stops working? If G2 changes their backend configuration, the actor will log a clear error message; open an Issue if you see one. No fallback to browser scraping — the direct-data approach is the entire value proposition.

How do I scrape G2 reviews in Python? Use the Apify Python client. Install it with pip install apify-client, then call this Actor with your desired input. See the Python example above.

Is scraping G2 reviews legal? This actor accesses G2's publicly available data — the same information visible to any anonymous visitor. It does not log in or use credentials. Always consult legal counsel for your specific use case.

How much does it cost to scrape G2 reviews? $0.015 per review ($15 per 1,000 reviews). Scrape 100 reviews for $1.50. You can start with Apify's free plan which includes $5 of monthly usage — enough for about 330 reviews.

Can I use this as a G2 API? Yes. This Actor functions as a G2 API alternative. Access it via the Apify API with RESTful endpoints, webhooks, and scheduled runs. Get structured JSON data from G2 without maintaining your own scraping infrastructure.

How does this Actor get the data? It reads G2's review data over plain HTTP from G2's own search service instead of rendering G2's web pages — no browser and no proxy.
