Overview
The node integrates with the Keepa API to perform a Category Search within the Product Finder resource. It allows users to search for Amazon products filtered by category and various criteria such as price range, rating, review count, availability, and sorting preferences. This is useful for scenarios like market research, competitive analysis, or building product recommendation systems where you want to retrieve a curated list of products from specific Amazon categories.
For example, a user could find all "Electronics" products in the US Amazon store that are in stock, have at least 4-star ratings, and cost between $50 and $200, sorted by best sellers.

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the list of products matching the search criteria. Each product entry typically includes details such as product identifiers, title, price, rating, review count, availability status, and other relevant metadata retrieved from the Keepa API.
If binary data were supported (e.g., images), it would be included in a separate binary output field, but this node focuses on JSON product data only.

Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication errors.
- Using unsupported or incorrect category IDs may result in empty or error responses.
- Setting conflicting filters (e.g., minPrice higher than maxPrice) might yield no results.
- Exceeding the API rate limits imposed by Keepa can cause request failures.
Error messages:
