How to generate an API token using G2 Developer Portal

Getting started

To begin using the Developer Portal, follow these steps to create an account and set up your organization:

  2. Verify your email.
  3. When prompted, enter your Organization Name and choose a unique Organization Slug.

Your organization slug becomes part of your Developer Portal URL (https://my.g2.com/developers/your-slug). If your desired slug is already taken, you will receive an error.

G2 recommends choosing a slug that closely matches your organization name or domain.

Once your organization is set up, use your organization-specific Developer Portal URL to log in at any time.

API Tokens

The API Tokens tab enables you to generate new tokens, and view the access roles associated with each token. Your API tokens are used to authenticate requests for G2 content.
