High-level summary statistics for a category or department
High-level category statistics - product/brand/retailer counts, pricing (avg/min/max/median), promo rate, in-stock rate, and top brands. Headline stats are representativeness-filtered (no refurb/used, no accessory/parts subtrees, category-aware price floor) with exclusion counts disclosed in excluded; brand_count and top_brands merge brand variants on the canonical key and exclude placeholders.
Query Parameters
Product category. Accepts a human-readable name (e.g. 'electronics', 'beauty') or a taxonomy slug path (e.g. 'electronics/headphones'); matched against the catalog's category tree (exact node, subtree, or path substring). Also accepts a GS1 GPC code (exactly 8 digits, e.g. '10001159') to filter by PRODUCT TYPE instead of by shelf placement — the same product type is shelved under different categories by different retailers, so a category filter answers from a fraction of the data while a GPC code spans them. Coarser codes (class/family/segment) match every brick beneath them. Resolve a phrase to a code with /v1/reference/classify?q=... ; when a code is used, resolved.match_source is 'gpc'. For analyst endpoints, supply either category or department; both may be supplied to narrow the scope.
1Top-level department (root category), e.g. 'Electronics', 'Beauty', 'Home & Kitchen'. Case-insensitive; matched against the category tree's root segment. For analyst endpoints, supply either category or department; both may be supplied to narrow the scope.
