## FAQ

### Where do I get a G2 category slug?

From GET /v1/g2/categories, which returns the full taxonomy as URL plus slug rows. Category slugs also appear in G2 URLs, for example g2.com/categories/marketing-automation.

### How many products come back per page?

Fifteen per page. Pass the returned cursor back until has_more is false. Sort with g2-score (default), popularity, or satisfaction.

### Does a category row include the full product record?

No. Each row is a listing card: name, slug, rating, review count, seller, and logo. Feed the slug into GET /v1/g2/product or GET /v1/g2/reviews to deepen it.

### Can I filter a category by price or vendor?

Not on this endpoint. G2's category surface accepts a category slug, a page, and a sort. Filter in your code after the rows arrive. Every row carries a stable slug, so de-duplication is cheap.

### How much does a G2 category listing cost?

Each live miss costs 5 credits on the advanced tier. Cache hits cost 0. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required.
