## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific Trustpilot category — its official display name, business count, parent, or subcategories — rather than searching for businesses or reviews. Ideal for building category browsers, market sizing analyses, or navigating Trustpilot's business directory taxonomy programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown category_id slug returns an error or empty result
- Passing a malformed URL instead of a valid slug may fail if not recognized
- Network timeout or upstream Trustpilot unavailability causes request failure
- Category slugs that have been deprecated or renamed may return no data
