Get up to 30 G2 alternatives to the product at url. Each one has vendor, rating, ten-point score, entry-level price and category rank. A place on the list, or a high rank, does not prove feature parity or better value.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to g2 and action set to alternatives. Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra G2 Alternatives endpoint (g2/alternatives).
How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to g2 and action to alternatives, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Specifies the target G2 resource URL or bare slug. For profile, reviews, and alternatives, pass a /products/<slug> URL or product slug; for vendor, pass a /sellers/<slug> URL or seller slug.
- Optional parameters:
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 30. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: name, slug, url, description, vendor_name, rating, rating_scale, review_count, rank, source_product_slug, image_url, rating_out_of_ten; 13 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=g2.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "g2",
"action": "alternatives",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews"
}
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.
Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.Request parameters

Response fields
#Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
slug | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
description | Summary or description, usually shorter than text. |
vendor_name | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
rating | Rating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
review_count | Number of reviews, for product and business capabilities. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
rank | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
source_product_slug | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
image_url | Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
rating_out_of_ten | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
entry_level_price | Keeps the platform's own meaning |

- G2: Alternative Product Similarity Criteria ↗
G2 orders alternatives based on shared categories, overlapping category reviews, and user comparison behavior. This indicates candidate similarity rather than feature equivalence or migration success guarantees.
