## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## G2 Product Reviews Scraper — Reviews by Slug

Pull G2.com product reviews for any SaaS product by slug. One row per review — title, body, rating, reviewer name / role / company size, posted date, pros, cons, recommendation.

> **Cloudflare notice:** G2 aggressively blocks datacenter IPs. This actor will likely return zero rows unless the run environment provides residential proxies. If the first page returns 403 or 503, the actor exits cleanly with zero rows rather than retrying indefinitely.

### Example output row

```json
{
  "reviewId": "12345678",
  "product": "slack",
  "title": "Best team communication tool we've used",
  "body": "Overall a solid product for async communication.",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "reviewerName": "Jane Smith",
  "reviewerRole": "Product Manager",
  "reviewerCompanySize": "51-200 employees",
  "postedAt": "2024-03-15",
  "pros": "Integrations are excellent. Threads keep conversations organized.",
  "cons": "Notifications can be overwhelming without careful configuration.",
  "recommendation": "Highly recommended for remote teams."
}
```

### How to use

#### Input

```json
{
  "products": ["slack", "notion", "figma"],
  "maxReviewsPerProduct": 50
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `products` | `string[]` | `["slack","notion","figma"]` | G2 product slugs — the segment after `/products/` in the URL |
| `maxReviewsPerProduct` | `integer` | `50` | Maximum reviews to collect per product (across up to 5 pages) |

The slug is the URL path component: for `https://www.g2.com/products/salesforce-crm/reviews` the slug is `salesforce-crm`.

#### Source endpoint

```
GET https://www.g2.com/products/{slug}/reviews?page={N}
```

Pagination is via `?page=N` (max 5 pages per product). Reviews are extracted from JSON-LD structured data when available, otherwise from review card HTML elements.

### Pricing

| Event | USD per unit |
|---|---|
| `review_extracted` — one G2.com product review row in the dataset | $0.0003 |

You are charged only for rows actually written to the dataset. A run that is blocked by Cloudflare and emits zero rows costs nothing.

### Buyer

- **Competitive intelligence teams** monitoring what customers say about competitor SaaS products.
- **Product managers** tracking sentiment and feature requests for their own G2-listed products.
- **Sales & marketing** teams building social-proof assets from verified reviews.
- **Market researchers** aggregating multi-product review corpora for NLP analysis.
- **CX analysts** tracking reviewer role + company-size distribution over time.

### Source

Public review pages at `https://www.g2.com/products/{slug}/reviews`. No authentication required. Reviews are extracted from `application/ld+json` structured data blocks embedded in the HTML, with a BeautifulSoup card parser as fallback.
