# BusinessCategoryResponse

The Get Business Category endpoint returns this response object.

```
object BusinessCategoryResponse
```

## Discussion

The [`Get Business Category`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/Get-Category-by-ID) returns `BusinessCategoryResponse` as the top-level envelope. On success, `result` contains a single [`BusinessCategory`](/documentation/Apple-Ads-Platform-API/BusinessCategory) object. On failure (for example, 404 Not Found), the response contains only the `error` object. The response omits the `result` key entirely rather than setting it to `null`.

### 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": []
    }
  }
}
```
