EveryData platform API
Capterra API
Capterra offers the 2 declared views used here for Capterra software categories and buyer review records, and `reviews`, `category` must each be read according to its own contract.
Capterra keeps `reviews` (review records) separate from `category` (category records). Parameters `company` and `category` apply only inside those contracts.

What does each Capterra action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.
What do the Capterra reviews parameters mean?
Read review records from Capterra by setting action to reviews. Use the documented Capterra identifier format for reviews. Pass company, stars, and sort to Capterra reviews; returned objects expose rating, recommend_rating, features_rating, rating_scale, ease_of_use_rating, cons, product_url, usage_duration, id, vendor_response, url, source, title, author_verified, author_industry, platform, switching_reasons, customer_service_rating, chosen_reasons, incentivized, author_job_title, posted_at, pros, text, company_size, author_name, and value_rating.
companyRequired- Specifies the Capterra software product name or the full /p/<product_id>/<slug>/ URL. Passing the product URL is recommended to avoid name matching ambiguities. Refers to a software product, not a legal entity or company website.Capterra: User Reviews, Incentives, and Vendor ResponsesCapterra treats reviews as individual user experiences and opinions, and vendor responses do not represent platform endorsement. Reviews submitted via incentive programs are marked with their source. This context explains review backgrounds and does not replace content evaluation based on incentive status.Checked
sortOptional- Sets review sort order across supported execution paths. Sorting is not guaranteed across all main queries and should not be relied upon as a stable, cross-path filter.
starsOptional- Filters individual software reviews by star rating using a single value or an array. Applies only to supported execution paths, does not filter by average product score, and is not guaranteed across all queries.
What do the Capterra category parameters mean?
Category records belong to the Capterra category contract. Capterra category treats Capterra optional inputs as filters. For Capterra category, supply category; results include url, platform, id, rating_scale, review_count, description, rating, domain, website, and name.
categoryRequired- Specifies the Capterra category slug or full URL, such as project-management-software or accounting-software. Slugs map directly to https://www.capterra.com/<category>/. Accepts path values copied directly from category pages, not general keyword search terms.

Capterra API questions
What can I retrieve with the Capterra API?
Set platform to capterra. The current catalog lists reviews and category. These action names identify different Capterra objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a Capterra `reviews` request?
Specifies the Capterra software product name or the full /p/<product_id>/<slug>/ URL. Passing the product URL is recommended to avoid name matching ambiguities. Refers to a software product, not a legal entity or company website. Send it as company inside params.
Which fields can Capterra `reviews` return?
Its declared schema includes title, text, pros, and cons. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Capterra action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
