The Categorize endpoint returns IAB categorizations for a given URL, including tier 1 and tier 2 categories that match the site's content. It provides a confidence score for each category, indicating the reliability of the categorization.
Key fields in the response include "domain" (which contains the URL), "categories" (an array of category objects with names and confidence scores), and "success" (indicating if the request was successful).
The response data is structured in a JSON format. It includes a "domain" object with category details, a "success" boolean, and an "api_usage" object that tracks usage metrics.
The Categorize endpoint provides information on IAB categories relevant to the input URL, including both tier 1 and tier 2 categorizations, along with confidence levels for each category.
Users can customize their requests by providing different URLs to the endpoint. The API will analyze the content of each URL and return the most relevant IAB categories based on the provided input.
The data is sourced from a comprehensive database of IAB categorizations, which is regularly updated to ensure accuracy and relevance in categorizing web content.
Typical use cases include marketing agencies categorizing URLs for targeted advertising, content filtering, and enhancing user experience by providing relevant content based on site categories.
Users can utilize the returned data by analyzing the categories to segment their URL databases, tailor marketing strategies, or recommend content that aligns with user interests based on the site's categorization.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
