G2 Scraper API
Access 7 G2 API endpoints through one unified interface for profiles, posts, comments, search, and more. When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are present, that optional field is included in the unified response.
TL;DR
The G2 API by SocialCrawl returns G2 data as structured JSON: 7 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 53 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.

Call the Product endpoint
Send a GET request with your key in the x-api-key header. Here is the full G2 Product request:
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/g2/product" - 3
Read the unified JSON
The response comes back in the shared SocialCrawl schema. Where the endpoint supports them and the required source inputs are present, fields such as engagement_rate and content_category are filled in too. Your client can rely on the shared envelope while treating enriched fields as optional.
Requirements and limits
Everything you need to know before your first G2 call.
- Authentication
- One API key, passed in the x-api-key request header. No OAuth flow, no app review, and no per-platform credentials to manage.
- Pagination
- List endpoints return a next_cursor and a has_more flag. Pass the cursor back to page through results, with the same contract on every platform.
- Credits
- Calls start at 1 credits and are deducted per request. Every account starts with 100 free credits, and credits never expire.
- Rate limits
- Two ceilings, both per API key and identical on every plan: 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Neither costs you a credit when it rejects a request, and past them your credit balance is the only throttle.

}How does SocialCrawl handle 54 different platforms?
Social media scraping is hard. Schema normalization, authentication, rate limits, pagination. We handle all of it before your data arrives.
Write once, query them all.
54 platforms return 54 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.
Metrics ready before you ask.
Normalized records include supported metrics such as engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, and language when the required source inputs are available.
One cursor, every platform.
Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.
Fresh when it matters. Free on repeat.
Cache misses fetch current public data. Identical requests are cached for 2 to 30 minutes by data type and cost 0 credits on a hit; send Cache-Control: no-cache for a billed refresh.
Auth, proxies, and rate limits, handled
Platform authentication, IP rotation, and rate limit management are all abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
What developers say
The unified schema saved us weeks of integration work. One parser handles every platform.
Our agents process social data from 54 platforms with zero platform-specific logic. One schema, end to end.
I paste an influencer's URL and get everything (followers, engagement rate, content categories) without touching code.
We switched from building our own scrapers. SocialCrawl handles the hard stuff, we focus on insights.
The computed fields alone (engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category) saved us an entire data pipeline.
