# BusinessCategoryQueryResponse

The Query Business Categories endpoint returns this response object.

```
object BusinessCategoryQueryResponse
```

## Discussion

The [`Query Business Categories`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/Query-Categories) returns `BusinessCategoryQueryResponse` as the top-level envelope. It extends the standard [`QueryResponse`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/QueryResponse) envelope: on success, `result` contains an array of [`BusinessCategory`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/BusinessCategory) objects matching the query criteria. The standard `pagination` field handles pagination.

### Example

```json
{
  "result": [
    {
      "id": "cat-din-001",
      "name": "Restaurant",
      "qualifiedId": "dining.restaurant",
      "description": "Establishments that serve prepared food and beverages for on-site consumption.",
      "eligibility": {
        "status": "ELIGIBLE",
        "blockedGroups": [],
        "allowedGroups": []
      }
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "totalCount": 1,
    "offset": 0,
    "pageSize": 20
  }
}
```
