Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.crinkl.xyz/x402/category-pulseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need receipt-verified, ground-truth consumer demand signals for a specific product category — especially for CPG campaign planning, retailer fit analysis, or market sizing where self-reported or panel-based data is insufficient. Prefer over social-signal or survey-based trend tools when purchase evidence and geographic granularity (CBSA-level) are required.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized category slug returns an error or empty result
- CBSA code not available in Crinkl's coverage returns no data or an insufficient-activity error
- Days parameter outside 1–30 range returns a validation error
- Insufficient verified purchase volume for the requested geo/category combination may return no signal
- x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents access
