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.

Live demo

Use it when you have a G2 slug or product URL and need the full product page, including rating and pricing, before paging reviews.

Endpoints

What data does the G2 API return?

Every endpoint returns structured JSON in a unified envelope. Computed fields such as engagement rate and content category are included only where the endpoint supports them and the required source inputs are present.

What you get

What G2 data can you get?

Every G2 endpoint uses the same response envelope, so one parser handles the whole platform. These are fields returned by current public responses, subject to each endpoint's documented cache window.

Fields you get back in a G2 response include:

  • engagement_rate_percentages
  • recent_posts
  • followers
  • comments
  • likes
  • recent_posts_explanation
  • id_user
  • username
  • is_private
  • posts_details
  • id
  • display_name
  • avatar_url
  • bio
  • verified
  • following
  • posts_count
  • likes_count
  • url
  • private
  • joined_at
  • computed.engagement_rate
  • computed.language
  • computed.content_category
Quickstart

How to scrape G2 in 3 steps

No proxies, no headless browsers, no login sessions. Send one authenticated GET request and read structured JSON back.

  1. 1

    Get a free API key

    Create an account and copy your key from the dashboard. Signup includes 100 free credits, and no card is required.

  2. 2

    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. 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

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.
Pricing

How much does the G2 API cost?

Simple credit-based pricing with no subscription. You pay per call, and the exact credit cost of every G2 endpoint is listed below.

EndpointCredits per call

Product Index5 credits

Every account starts with 100 free credits, and no card is required.

One API, 54 platforms

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.

One schema, every platform

Write once, query them all.

54 platforms return 54 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.

Ready-to-use metrics

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.

Consistent pagination

One cursor, every platform.

Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.

Freshness you control

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.

Things you'll never build

Auth, proxies, and rate limits, handled

Platform authentication, IP rotation, and rate limit management are all abstracted away. Just send a GET request.

Is scraping G2 data legal?

G2 scraping API vs the official G2 API: what's the difference?
With SocialCrawl there is no app review or approval queue. Sign up and call G2 endpoints immediately with a single x-api-key. Responses share one unified schema with every other SocialCrawl platform, and credit-based pricing replaces per-platform quotas. Official APIs are still the right choice for posting and other write actions: SocialCrawl is read-only data.
