B2B software reviews from Capterra and G2 power buying decisions.

G2 (Limited Public Access)

G2 product pages have structured data:

const $ = cheerio.load(html);
const jsonLd = JSON.parse($("script[type=application/ld+json]").first().html());
// Contains: name, rating, reviewCount

Capterra (HTML Parsing)

Capterra reviews are server-rendered:

const reviews = $(".review-card").map((i, el) => ({
  title: $(el).find(".review-title").text(),
  rating: $(el).find(".overall-rating").text(),
  pros: $(el).find(".pros").text(),
  cons: $(el).find(".cons").text(),
  date: $(el).find(".review-date").text()
})).get();
