Frequently asked questions

Why do I get results for a nonsense query?

Trustpilot's category search is fuzzy: it always returns the 6 nearest categories rather than an empty list. Compare the returned names to your keyword.

How does pricing work?

You only pay for successful requests. The Trustpilot Category Search API costs $0.005 per request. There are no monthly fees or commitments. You get 50 free requests per endpoint every month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can sign up and use the free tier (50 requests/endpoint/month) without adding a payment method. You only need to add a card when you want to exceed the free tier.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, there's a concurrency limit of 10 simultaneous requests per endpoint per user. If you need more, just get in touch.
