-# G2 — B2B Software Reviews
-
-Field-tested against g2.com on 2026-04-18.
-
-## Anti-bot verdict: browser required — DataDome blocks every http_get request
-
-`http_get` returns HTTP 403 on every g2.com URL without exception.
-
-Tested URLs (all 403):
-- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews`
-- `https://www.g2.com/categories/team-collaboration`
-- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack`
-- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews.json`
-- `https://www.g2.com/blog/` (and most `www.g2.com/*`)
-
-UAs tested (all blocked): `Mozilla/5.0`, full Chrome 124 macOS, Googlebot.
-
-**Stack:**
-- **Primary:** DataDome 5.6.1 (`X-DataDome: protected`, `X-DD-B: 1`). Response mode `rt:'c'` = CAPTCHA challenge. Mode `rt:'i'` = invalid/replayed cookie. The `datadome=...` cookie returned in the 403 response is TLS-fingerprint-bound — replaying it yields `rt:'i'` regardless of headers.
-- **Secondary:** Cloudflare CDN (`Server: cloudflare`, `CF-RAY` header present).
-
-DataDome's challenge is **silent** — no CAPTCHA widget appears in a real browser. JS fingerprinting runs post-DOM-ready and resolves automatically. A real Chrome session via CDP passes cleanly.
-
-Pages **not** behind DataDome (safe to `http_get`): `help.g2.com`, `research.g2.com`, `learn.g2.com`, `data.g2.com/api/docs`.
-
-**Use `goto_url()` + `wait()` exclusively. Never use `http_get` for www.g2.com.**
-

-
-## Fastest approach: official vendor API (if you have a key)
-
-G2 provides a public REST API at `https://data.g2.com/api/v1` documented at `https://data.g2.com/api/docs`. This API requires a `Token token=<key>` — obtainable by signing up as a G2 vendor/partner. If you have a key, it is faster and more reliable than browser scraping.
-
-```python
-import json, urllib.request
-
-API_KEY = "your_token_here"
-
-def g2_api_get(path, params=""):
-    url = f"https://data.g2.com/api/v1/{path}?{params}"
-    req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers={
-        "Authorization": f"Token token={API_KEY}",
-        "Content-Type": "application/vnd.api+json",
-        "Accept": "application/json",
-    })
-    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=20) as r:
-        return json.loads(r.read())
-
-# 1. Lookup product UUID by slug
-products = g2_api_get("products", "filter[slug]=slack")
-product = products["data"][0]
-product_id = product["id"]  # UUID, e.g. "ac7841ad-cca8-4125-ac6f-6ef6b5848781"
-attrs = product["attributes"]
-print(f"{attrs['name']}: {attrs['star_rating']} stars, {attrs['review_count']} reviews")
-# star_rating: float 0-5 (overall)
-# avg_rating: string e.g. "4.5" (same thing, different format)
-# review_count: total published reviews
-# public_detail_url: "https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews"

-# 2. Fetch reviews (survey-responses) for that product
-# page[size] max 100, page[number] starts at 1

-### Survey-response field reference
-
-```
-star_rating       float 0-5
-title             string (review headline)
-comment_answers   dict — keys vary by product's question set
-                  common keys: "love" (pros), "hate" (cons), "benefit" (who benefits)
-secondary_answers dict — additional structured answers
-is_public         bool — reviewer consented to attribution
-user_name         string
-country_name      string
-regions           list[string]
-submitted_at      ISO 8601 datetime
-moderated_at      ISO 8601 datetime (when published)
-review_source     "Organic review..." or incentivized text
-votes_up          int — helpful votes
-votes_down        int
-product_id        UUID
-slug              URL slug for the individual review
-```
-
----
-
-## Browser approach (no API key required)
-
-### Setup: open in new tab, wait for DataDome to clear
-
-```python
-new_tab("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
-wait_for_load()
-wait(5)  # DataDome JS fingerprinting runs 2-4s after readyState=complete
-```
-
-`wait(5)` is mandatory. Extracting before it completes returns empty or blocked content.
-
-Verify you are on the real page, not the DataDome challenge page:
-
-```python
-title = js("document.title")
-url_now = page_info()["url"]
-if "g2.com" not in url_now or "captcha-delivery.com" in url_now:
-    wait(5)
-    title = js("document.title")
-    url_now = page_info()["url"]
-    assert "captcha-delivery.com" not in url_now, f"Still on DataDome challenge: {url_now}"
-```
-
----
-
-## URL patterns
-
-| Goal | URL |
-|---|---|
-| Product reviews | `/products/{slug}/reviews` |
-| Product reviews page 2+ | `/products/{slug}/reviews?page=2` |
-| Single review | `/products/{slug}/reviews/{review-slug}` |
-| Product overview | `/products/{slug}` |
-| Category listing | `/categories/{slug}` |
-| Category grid | `/categories/{slug}/grids` (disallowed in robots.txt — may not render) |
-| Compare | `/compare/{slug1}-vs-{slug2}` |
-
-Product slug is the lowercase hyphenated name from the URL: `slack`, `microsoft-teams`, `notion`, `salesforce-sales-cloud`.
-
----
-
-## Workflow 1: Product rating and review count
-
-G2 is a **Rails app** (not Next.js) — there is no `__NEXT_DATA__`. Use schema.org microdata attributes.
-
-```python
-import json
-
-goto_url("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
-wait_for_load()
-wait(5)
-
-summary = js("""
-(function() {
-  // Schema.org AggregateRating microdata — most reliable, SSR-rendered
-  var aggEl = document.querySelector('[itemtype*="AggregateRating"]');
-  var ratingVal = aggEl ? aggEl.querySelector('[itemprop="ratingValue"]') : null;
-  var reviewCt  = aggEl ? aggEl.querySelector('[itemprop="reviewCount"]') : null;
-
-  // Fallback: plain text in the header band
-  var ratingFb  = document.querySelector('.x-current-rating, [data-next-head] ~ * .fw-bold, .star-rating__stars');
-  var countFb   = document.querySelector('.link-color-inherit, .reviews-count');
-
-  // Product name
-  var nameEl = document.querySelector('[itemprop="name"], h1.l1');
-
-  return JSON.stringify({
-    name:         nameEl   ? nameEl.innerText.trim()          : '',

-    review_count: reviewCt  ? reviewCt.getAttribute('content')  || reviewCt.innerText.trim()  : '',
-    rating_fb:    ratingFb  ? ratingFb.innerText.trim()          : '',
-    count_fb:     countFb   ? countFb.innerText.trim()           : '',
-  });
-})()
-""")
-
-data = json.loads(summary)
-print("Product:", data["name"])
-print("Rating:", data["rating"] or data["rating_fb"])
-print("Reviews:", data["review_count"] or data["count_fb"])
-```
-
----
-
-## Workflow 2: Star distribution (rating breakdown)
-
-The rating distribution histogram (5-star, 4-star, …) is rendered server-side with a progress bar or percentage spans.
-
-```python
-import json
-
-goto_url("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
-wait_for_load()
-wait(5)
-
-dist = js("""
-(function() {
-  // G2 renders star distribution in a table or bar list
-  // Selector targets the rating breakdown rows
-  var rows = document.querySelectorAll(
-    '[data-star-rating], .rating-breakdown__row, .star-distribution tr, [class*="StarBreakdown"]'
-  );
-  var result = {};
-  for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
-    var r = rows[i];
-    // Star level: look for a number or aria-label containing the star count
-    var starEl = r.querySelector('[data-star], .star-count, [class*="starCount"], td:first-child');
-    var pctEl  = r.querySelector('[data-percentage], .pct, [class*="percentage"], td:last-child');
-    var countEl = r.querySelector('[data-count], .count-text');
-    var star = starEl ? starEl.innerText.trim() : '';
-    if (star && /^[1-5]/.test(star)) {
-      result[star] = {
-        pct:   pctEl   ? pctEl.innerText.trim()   : '',
-        count: countEl ? countEl.innerText.trim() : '',
-      };
-    }
-  }
-  // If nothing found, try aria-label approach for SVG-based bars
-  if (!Object.keys(result).length) {
-    var bars = document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label*="star"], [aria-label*="-star"]');
-    for (var j = 0; j < bars.length; j++) {
-      var lbl = bars[j].getAttribute('aria-label') || '';
-      var m = lbl.match(/(\d)-star.*?(\d+\.?\d*)%/i);
-      if (m) result[m[1]] = { pct: m[2] + '%', count: '' };
-    }
-  }
-  return JSON.stringify(result);
-})()
-""")
-
-distribution = json.loads(dist)
-for star in ["5", "4", "3", "2", "1"]:
-    d = distribution.get(star, {})
-    print(f"{star}★: {d.get('pct','?')} ({d.get('count','?')})")
-```
-
-If the distribution returns empty, take a screenshot and inspect the actual element structure:
-
-```python
-capture_screenshot("/tmp/g2_reviews.png")
-# Inspect the image, then adjust selectors above
-```

-
-## Workflow 3: Extract individual review cards
-
-G2 renders reviews server-side as schema.org `Review` microdata items. Extract before scrolling — a sign-in modal may appear after scrolling past 5 visible reviews.
-
-```python
-import json
-
-goto_url("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
-wait_for_load()
-wait(5)

-## Gotchas
-
-- **`http_get` is permanently blocked.** DataDome 5.6.1 intercepts every Python `urllib` / `requests` call. The blocking signal is `X-DataDome: protected` + `X-DD-B: 1` in the response header, response body `rt:'c'` (CAPTCHA). No User-Agent, header set, or cookie replay bypasses it because the `datadome` cookie is bound to the originating TLS fingerprint. Without a real browser's TLS/JA3 fingerprint, the cookie is rejected as `rt:'i'` (invalid).
-
-- **DataDome does NOT block real Chrome via CDP.** The harness connects to Chrome via CDP. Chrome presents a genuine JA3 TLS fingerprint plus browser APIs (canvas, WebGL, Navigator). DataDome's fingerprinting sees a real browser and issues a valid `datadome` cookie silently (no CAPTCHA widget, no user action needed).
-
-- **`wait(5)` minimum after `wait_for_load()`.** DataDome's JS runs 2–4 seconds after `readyState='complete'`. The challenge page title is `"g2.com"` (not "G2 | Software Reviews..."). Checking `document.title` reliably distinguishes challenge from real page.
-
-- **G2 is a Rails app — no `__NEXT_DATA__`.** Unlike Next.js sites, G2 does NOT embed page data in a JSON script tag. All data must be extracted from the rendered HTML or via the official API. G2 uses Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) for frontend interactivity.
-
-- **Schema.org microdata is the reliable extraction path.** G2 bakes `itemtype` / `itemprop` attributes into their SSR HTML. These are stable across visual redesigns because they serve SEO purposes. Prefer `[itemprop="ratingValue"]` over class-based selectors.
-
-- **`comment_answers` key names vary by product.** The API's `comment_answers` dict uses question-specific keys that differ across products. Common keys include `"love"` (what do you like best?), `"hate"` (what do you dislike?), `"benefit"` (what benefits?), but these are not guaranteed. Inspect the raw response first.
-
-- **Sign-in modal triggers on scroll.** G2 limits anonymous visitors to the reviews visible in the initial viewport (~5 reviews). Scrolling triggers a login modal. Extract all initial cards before any scroll call. To get more reviews without login, use `?page=2`, `?page=3`, etc. instead of scrolling.
-
-- **Rate limiting on navigation.** G2 does not publish a browser-facing rate limit, but rapid consecutive `goto_url()` calls (< 2s apart) can trigger soft blocks. Use `wait(3)` between product page navigations and `wait(2)` between paginated review pages in the same session.
-
-- **Cloudflare is CDN-only here, not Bot Management.** The `Server: cloudflare` header and `__cf_bm` cookie are standard Cloudflare CDN features (not the Cloudflare Bot Management product). The actual anti-bot protection is DataDome. Do not apply Glassdoor-style CF challenge waits — the DataDome wait is what matters.
-
-- **`data.g2.com` API needs a vendor token.** The API requires `Authorization: Token token=<key>`. The key is obtained by registering as a G2 vendor or partner at `https://www.g2.com/sells`. The 401 response body is `{"errors":[{"status":"401","title":"Bad Credentials"}]}` — no further auth clues.
-
-- **Product UUIDs are required for the API.** The API uses UUIDs (e.g. `ac7841ad-cca8-4125-ac6f-6ef6b5848781`) not slugs for relationship endpoints like `/products/{id}/survey-responses`. Look up the UUID first via `GET /api/v1/products?filter[slug]=slack`.
-
-- **`/categories/*/grids` is disallowed in robots.txt** — may return 403 or empty content even in a browser session.
+# G2 — B2B Software Reviews
+
+Field-tested against g2.com on 2026-04-18.
+
+## Anti-bot verdict: browser required — DataDome blocks every http_get request
+
+`http_get` returns HTTP 403 on every g2.com URL without exception.
+
+Tested URLs (all 403):
+- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews`
+- `https://www.g2.com/categories/team-collaboration`
+- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack`
+- `https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews.json`
+- `https://www.g2.com/blog/` (and most `www.g2.com/*`)
+
+UAs tested (all blocked): `Mozilla/5.0`, full Chrome 124 macOS, Googlebot.
+
+**Stack:**
+- **Primary:** DataDome 5.6.1 (`X-DataDome: protected`, `X-DD-B: 1`). Response mode `rt:'c'` = CAPTCHA challenge. Mode `rt:'i'` = invalid/replayed cookie. The `datadome=...` cookie returned in the 403 response is TLS-fingerprint-bound — replaying it yields `rt:'i'` regardless of headers.
+- **Secondary:** Cloudflare CDN (`Server: cloudflare`, `CF-RAY` header present).
+
+DataDome's challenge is **silent** — no CAPTCHA widget appears in a real browser. JS fingerprinting runs post-DOM-ready and resolves automatically. A real Chrome session via CDP passes cleanly.
+
+Pages **not** behind DataDome (safe to `http_get`): `help.g2.com`, `research.g2.com`, `learn.g2.com`, `data.g2.com/api/docs`.
+
+**Use `goto_url()` + `wait()` exclusively. Never use `http_get` for www.g2.com.**

+
+## Fastest approach: official vendor API (if you have a key)
+
+G2 provides a public REST API at `https://data.g2.com/api/v1` documented at `https://data.g2.com/api/docs`. This API requires a `Token token=<key>` — obtainable by signing up as a G2 vendor/partner. If you have a key, it is faster and more reliable than browser scraping.
+
+```python
+import json, urllib.request
+
+API_KEY = "your_token_here"
+
+def g2_api_get(path, params=""):
+    url = f"https://data.g2.com/api/v1/{path}?{params}"

+
+# 1. Lookup product UUID by slug

+```
+
+---
+
+## Browser approach (no API key required)
+
+### Setup: open in new tab, wait for DataDome to clear
+
+```python
+new_tab("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
+wait_for_load()
+wait(5)  # DataDome JS fingerprinting runs 2-4s after readyState=complete
+```
+
+`wait(5)` is mandatory. Extracting before it completes returns empty or blocked content.
+
+Verify you are on the real page, not the DataDome challenge page:
+
+```python
+title = js("document.title")
+url_now = page_info()["url"]
+if "g2.com" not in url_now or "captcha-delivery.com" in url_now:
+    wait(5)
+    title = js("document.title")
+    url_now = page_info()["url"]
+    assert "captcha-delivery.com" not in url_now, f"Still on DataDome challenge: {url_now}"
+```
+
+---
+
+## URL patterns
+
+| Goal | URL |
+|---|---|
+| Product reviews | `/products/{slug}/reviews` |
+| Product reviews page 2+ | `/products/{slug}/reviews?page=2` |
+| Single review | `/products/{slug}/reviews/{review-slug}` |
+| Product overview | `/products/{slug}` |
+| Category listing | `/categories/{slug}` |
+| Category grid | `/categories/{slug}/grids` (disallowed in robots.txt — may not render) |
+| Compare | `/compare/{slug1}-vs-{slug2}` |
+
+Product slug is the lowercase hyphenated name from the URL: `slack`, `microsoft-teams`, `notion`, `salesforce-sales-cloud`.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow 1: Product rating and review count
+
+G2 is a **Rails app** (not Next.js) — there is no `__NEXT_DATA__`. Use schema.org microdata attributes.
+
+```python
+import json
+
+goto_url("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
+wait_for_load()
+wait(5)
+

+
+  // Fallback: plain text in the header band
+  var ratingFb  = document.querySelector('.x-current-rating, [data-next-head] ~ * .fw-bold, .star-rating__stars');
+  var countFb   = document.querySelector('.link-color-inherit, .reviews-count');

+
+## Workflow 2: Star distribution (rating breakdown)
+
+The rating distribution histogram (5-star, 4-star, …) is rendered server-side with a progress bar or percentage spans.
+
+```python
+import json
+
+goto_url("https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews")
+wait_for_load()
+wait(5)

+  );
+  var result = {};

+## Workflow 3: Extract individual review cards
+
+G2 renders reviews server-side as schema.org `Review` microdata items. Extract before scrolling — a sign-in modal may appear after scrolling past 5 visible reviews.

+## Handling the sign-in modal
+
+A login modal appears after scrolling past ~5 reviews (triggered by scroll, not on load). Extract all visible review cards **before scrolling**. If you need to scroll:
+
+```python
+def dismiss_g2_login_modal():
+    """Close G2's sign-in overlay. Safe to call if no modal is present."""
+    closed = js("""
+    (function() {
+      var selectors = [
+        '[data-close-modal], [data-modal-close]',
+        'button[aria-label="Close"]',
+        '[class*="modal"] button[class*="close"]',
+        '[class*="Modal"] button[class*="close"]',
+        '.modal-dialog .close',
+        'button.close',
+      ];
+      for (var i = 0; i < selectors.length; i++) {
+        var btn = document.querySelector(selectors[i]);
+        if (btn && btn.offsetParent !== null) {
+          btn.click();
+          return selectors[i];
+        }
+      }
+      return null;
+    })()
+    """)
+    if closed:
+        wait(1)
+    return closed
+```
+
+Call `dismiss_g2_login_modal()` after any scroll action that might trigger the modal.

+## Gotchas
+
+- **`http_get` is permanently blocked.** DataDome 5.6.1 intercepts every Python `urllib` / `requests` call. The blocking signal is `X-DataDome: protected` + `X-DD-B: 1` in the response header, response body `rt:'c'` (CAPTCHA). No User-Agent, header set, or cookie replay bypasses it because the `datadome` cookie is bound to the originating TLS fingerprint. Without a real browser's TLS/JA3 fingerprint, the cookie is rejected as `rt:'i'` (invalid).
+
+- **DataDome does NOT block real Chrome via CDP.** The harness connects to Chrome via CDP. Chrome presents a genuine JA3 TLS fingerprint plus browser APIs (canvas, WebGL, Navigator). DataDome's fingerprinting sees a real browser and issues a valid `datadome` cookie silently (no CAPTCHA widget, no user action needed).
+
+- **`wait(5)` minimum after `wait_for_load()`.** DataDome's JS runs 2–4 seconds after `readyState='complete'`. The challenge page title is `"g2.com"` (not "G2 | Software Reviews..."). Checking `document.title` reliably distinguishes challenge from real page.
+
+- **G2 is a Rails app — no `__NEXT_DATA__`.** Unlike Next.js sites, G2 does NOT embed page data in a JSON script tag. All data must be extracted from the rendered HTML or via the official API. G2 uses Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) for frontend interactivity.
+
+- **Schema.org microdata is the reliable extraction path.** G2 bakes `itemtype` / `itemprop` attributes into their SSR HTML. These are stable across visual redesigns because they serve SEO purposes. Prefer `[itemprop="ratingValue"]` over class-based selectors.
+
+- **`comment_answers` key names vary by product.** The API's `comment_answers` dict uses question-specific keys that differ across products. Common keys include `"love"` (what do you like best?), `"hate"` (what do you dislike?), `"benefit"` (what benefits?), but these are not guaranteed. Inspect the raw response first.
+
+- **Sign-in modal triggers on scroll.** G2 limits anonymous visitors to the reviews visible in the initial viewport (~5 reviews). Scrolling triggers a login modal. Extract all initial cards before any scroll call. To get more reviews without login, use `?page=2`, `?page=3`, etc. instead of scrolling.
+
+- **Rate limiting on navigation.** G2 does not publish a browser-facing rate limit, but rapid consecutive `goto_url()` calls (< 2s apart) can trigger soft blocks. Use `wait(3)` between product page navigations and `wait(2)` between paginated review pages in the same session.
+
+- **Cloudflare is CDN-only here, not Bot Management.** The `Server: cloudflare` header and `__cf_bm` cookie are standard Cloudflare CDN features (not the Cloudflare Bot Management product). The actual anti-bot protection is DataDome. Do not apply Glassdoor-style CF challenge waits — the DataDome wait is what matters.
+
+- **`data.g2.com` API needs a vendor token.** The API requires `Authorization: Token token=<key>`. The key is obtained by registering as a G2 vendor or partner at `https://www.g2.com/sells`. The 401 response body is `{"errors":[{"status":"401","title":"Bad Credentials"}]}` — no further auth clues.
+
+- **Product UUIDs are required for the API.** The API uses UUIDs (e.g. `ac7841ad-cca8-4125-ac6f-6ef6b5848781`) not slugs for relationship endpoints like `/products/{id}/survey-responses`. Look up the UUID first via `GET /api/v1/products?filter[slug]=slack`.
+
+- **`/categories/*/grids` is disallowed in robots.txt** — may return 403 or empty content even in a browser session.
