## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| category | not declared | yes | not declared | Capterra 分类页短名或完整 URL，例如 project-management-software、accounting-software。短名会组成 https://www.capterra.com/<分类>/；直接从目标分类页复制路径，不限于上述两个示例，也不是任意搜索关键词。 |
| limit | integer (1–100) | no | 25 | 这次调用最多返回的条数，整数，1–100；不传按默认值，实际返回可能少于这个数。超过上限会在扣费前返回 422。 |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | 该记录在原平台上的唯一标识。仅在同一平台内唯一，跨平台可能重复。 |
| name | 名称。用于账号/商品/商家类能力，指该对象本身的名字。 |
| url | 该记录在原平台上的可访问链接。 |
| rating | 评分。**分制随平台而异**，同一行的 `rating_scale` 给出该平台满分 (多数是 5，Booking/豆瓣/爱奇艺/NAVER 是 10)。跨平台比较前必须先按 rating_scale 换算。直接比数字会得出反的结论。 |
| rating_scale | 上一列 `rating` 的满分。5 表示五星制、10 表示十分制。只在该行有 rating 时出现。 |
| review_count | 评价条数，用于商品/商家类能力。null 表示不公开，不等于 0。 |
| description | 简介或描述，通常比 text 短。 |
| domain | 产品官网域名。 |
| website | 账号或商家填写的外链网址。 |
| platform | 数据来源平台标识，与请求里的 platform 一致（如 xiaohongshu、tiktok）。 |

```

## Response example

Real response to the example request above, captured 2026-09-26T08:56:04Z. `results` and `count` are real with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2 of 25. `id`, `billing` and `quota` differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.
