}- You send
- A search keyword, with an optional max_items cap
- You get back
- Matching products with name, vendor, and review count
- Coverage
- Products with a public Gartner Peer Insights profile.
- Price
- 1 point per returned result, up to 250 per request — $1 per 1,000
- Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A search that matches nothing costs nothing.
Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Searching Gartner Peer Insights by hand | Type the keyword into the site, scroll the results, copy what matches | Free, and slow | Fine for one lookup, unworkable across a list of competitors or a category |
| Guessing the product alias from its name | Try the obvious URL slug and see if it resolves | Free, until it fails | Vendor and product names rarely map cleanly onto Gartner's own alias, so this breaks constantly |
| NeuralVerge | One request per keyword, filters as parameters | $1 per 1,000, misses not billed | Returns what Gartner indexes under that keyword — a starting list, not a guarantee the product you meant is first |
What you get back
Every field in the response shown above.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
total_items | number | How many products matched the keyword. |
id | string | Gartner's internal product ID. |
ref_id | string | Gartner's product reference ID. |
name | string | Product name. |
alias | string | Product alias, for feeding into Gartner product. |
vendor_id | string | Gartner's internal vendor ID. |
vendor_name | string | Vendor name. |
vendor_alias | string | Vendor alias, for feeding into Gartner vendor. |
image | string | Vendor logo image URL. |
review_count | number | Total number of reviews on Peer Insights. |
has_profile | boolean | Whether the product has a full Peer Insights profile page. |
description | string | Product description as Gartner publishes it. |
url | string | Direct link to the product's Peer Insights page. |
position | number | Rank position within the search results. |
How to run it
The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.
query is required; max_items is optional, 1-250, defaulting to 25. Set it explicitly on a broad keyword to control cost.
curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-gartner-products-search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "query": "salesforce", "max_items": 25 }'What teams use it for
Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.
Turn a product name you already know into the alias Gartner product needs.
Search a keyword and see every product Gartner indexes against it, vendor included.
Search once, then run each result through Gartner product on a schedule.
See review count alongside each match to judge which product a vague name probably means.
Coverage, freshness and limits
What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.
Products with a public Gartner Peer Insights profile.
Searched at request time.
This source returns publicly visible product information, stamped with the query it was read from and a session id you can trace.
- —It returns what the search index matches, not a guarantee the top result is the product you meant.
- —Products with very few reviews may rank low or not surface for a broad keyword.
- —Review count reflects Gartner's own count at the moment of the search, not a running total you can diff without re-running it.
Questions, answered
Name, vendor, and review count, plus the product alias you need for a full Gartner product lookup.
