# Search G2 software products

Search G2's software directory by free-text query. Returns matching products with slug, name, star rating, review count and description, deduplicated. The slug feeds g2.com/get_product. Whitespace in the query is normalised. No login required. Fails loudly rather than returning an empty list: G2 always degrades to fuzzy matches, so zero results means the page did not render.

## About

Developers looking for a G2 API to search G2's software directory usually find there is none they can use: G2's API is reserved for vendors and partners. This script fills that gap. It works like an API endpoint — one call with typed arguments, a JSON response — but runs through a real browser, yours or a hosted one, so it needs no G2 developer account, API key or app review.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/g2.com/search_products`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/g2.com/search_products
```

## Input

- `query` (string, required): Free-text search query, e.g. 'email marketing' or 'notion'. Surrounding whitespace is normalised.

## Output

- `count` (integer, required)
- `query` (string, required): The normalised query actually searched.
- `products` (array, required)
