Endpoint
GEThttps://api.crinkl.xyz/x402/merchant-category-signalWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need verified, receipt-backed purchase activity signals for a specific merchant and/or category — especially for retailer fit scoring, campaign planning, or geo-scoped commerce intelligence. Prefer over generic market research when you need privacy-thresholded, proof-backed signals at the merchant level.
