• get_category_landscape read-only

  Benchmark a category over a window of ship weeks: how many products launched, the vote distribution (mean, p50, p75, p90, max), the top launches, how many medals were awarded, and the tags that appear most. Use this to judge how crowded a space is and what a winning launch looks like there.

  Parameters:

  • category (required) — string — Category slug. One of: developer-tools, design-tools, marketing-sales, finance, education, health-wellness, social, ecommerce, entertainment, ai-ml, travel, productivity, data-analytics, web3, security-privacy, hardware, media-news, other.

  Check whether a website URL is already listed on Shipstry, using the same normalization as submission duplicate detection. Only approved listings are visible.
