```

Example prompt: Is KitchenAid considered a premium or mid-range brand in the kitchen appliances category on Amazon in the US? Show me the price index and how their average price compares to the category average.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, structured classification of a brand's price tier relative to its category — especially for competitive analysis, shopper decision support, or market research. Prefer this over raw price data endpoints when you need the interpreted positioning label (premium/mid-range/value) alongside the supporting price index, without computing it yourself.

## Known failure modes

- Brand not found in dataset — returns positioning as 'unknown' with null price fields
- Invalid or unsupported retailer enum value — validation error
- No products found for the specified brand/category/retailer combination — unknown positioning with zero product count
- Country code not in allowed enum (us, ca) — validation error
- Missing required brand query parameter — 400 error

## How this service works

Real-time pricing, promotions, and competitive intelligence across US and Canadian retailers — exposed as paid API endpoints and MCP tools that AI agents can call directly, with x402 and MPP micropayments per query.

## Output

Returns the brand's positioning classification (premium, mid-range, value, or unknown), a price index (brand avg / category avg), the brand's average price, the category average and median price, product count, currency, and the country and category scope of the analysis.
