Browse a G2 software category by its slug or category URL and get ranked products with vendor, ratings, entry-level price, awards and sponsored flag. Product names and keywords are not accepted, and the list does not cover the whole market.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to g2 and action set to category. 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 Category endpoint (g2/category).

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 category, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - category: Specifies the G2 software category path slug or full /categories/<slug> URL copied directly from a category page.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 40. 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, vendor_name, vendor_slug, category, category_slug, rating, rating_scale, review_count, rank, page; 18 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=g2.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "g2",
  "action": "category",
  "params": {
    "category": "project-management"
  }
}
- 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.
vendor_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
vendor_slugKeeps the platform's own meaning
categoryCategory name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms.
category_slugKeeps 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.
