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.

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

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.

FieldMeaning
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
slugKeeps the platform's own meaning
urlLink to the record on the platform.
descriptionSummary or description, usually shorter than text.
vendor_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
ratingRating. 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_scaleMaximum 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_countNumber of reviews, for product and business capabilities. null means not disclosed, not 0.
rankKeeps the platform's own meaning
source_product_slugKeeps the platform's own meaning
image_urlImage link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
rating_out_of_tenKeeps the platform's own meaning
entry_level_priceKeeps the platform's own meaning
