G2 is served through the Universal Web Scraper API

You scrape G2 with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any G2 URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no G2-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.

About G2

G2 is a leading software-review marketplace where verified users rate and review business software and services by category. Its public category, grid, and search pages expose product names, star ratings, review counts, and category rankings that are worth scraping for software-market analysis.

Scraping note: G2 deploys Cloudflare bot protection and challenges automated traffic aggressively, so requests need residential proxies, real browser fingerprints, and careful rate limiting.

Example G2 page

https://www.g2.com/categories/crm

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from G2

check_small product name check_small star rating check_small review count check_small category rank check_small vendor name check_small pricing label

Common use: A SaaS analyst scrapes G2 category and grid pages to track how products move through the leader and high-performer quadrants over time.

Everything you need to scrape G2

Residential proxies keep your own IP out of every request, the JSON comes back clean, and 1,000 free requests a month let you prove g2 scraper works before you add a card.

data_object

Clean structured JSON

gpp_good

Bypasses CAPTCHAs and anti-bot defenses

We get past CAPTCHAs, IP rate limiting, IP blocking, and headless-browser detection on G2 using rotating, country-matched residential proxies, so requests look like real users and your own IP stays private.

G2 Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape G2?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible G2 data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override G2's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape G2 without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape G2 without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so G2's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the G2 Scraper API return?

expand_more
Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the G2 page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the G2 Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The G2 Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a G2 account or login?

expand_more
No G2 login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible G2 URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any G2 credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
