G2 Search API searches G2 products by text. Each result has the product id, uuid, slug, name, vendor, rating from 0 to 5, review count, description, categories, image and G2 URL. Pass the slug to the Reviews API.
Sort with order: relevance (default), popular, top_shelf (highest average rating) or alphabetical. Note that top_shelf favours products with one or two reviews and a perfect rating.
Page through the results with page (1 to 400). Page N always holds the results of page N. A page past the last page returns an empty list or a 422 error, never page 1. The pagination block has the page, the last page, the total number of results and whether a next page exists.
Filter with star_rating (buckets 1 to 5) and category_id (facet ids from available_filters.categories). Filters are always honoured: rows outside a requested star bucket are removed, so a page can hold fewer than 20 results. A product without reviews has rating: null.
Each page is one lookup and one credit. Failed requests are never billed.
