Keywords For Categories

Every keyword Labs holds for a given category code - the reverse of post_dataforseo_labs_google_categories_for_domain_live. Pages with limit, offset and offset_token; use the token past the first pages. Wrapped in DataForSEO's envelope: data in tasks[0].result, outcome in tasks[0].status_code - a rejected request still returns HTTP 200. ⚠️ A broad category holds a great many keywords; set limit deliberately rather than relying on a default.
