# Deal Benchmark Data Points

GET https://app.termina.ai/api/v1/group/{group_id}/deal/{deal_id}/data/benchmark/deal-benchmark-data-points/{category}

Get how large the comparable set behind a deal's benchmarks is.

Returns the number of distinct comparable companies and the number of monthly
observations they contribute, for the revenue range the deal falls in. Use
`company_count` when reporting how many companies a comparison rests on: the
scatter plots draw a downsampled subset of the observations, so counting their
points overstates the number of companies.

**Parameters:**
- `category`: The business category for benchmarking (e.g., "saas", "ai", "consumer")
- Revenue is automatically resolved from the deal's time series data

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Servers

- `https://app.termina.ai` (Production server, default)
- `https://app.termina.dev` (Development server)
- `http://localhost:8000` (Local development server)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `group_id` (integer, required)
- `deal_id` (integer, required)
- `category` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

Successful Response

- `scale` (Scale, required) — The revenue range whose comparable companies these counts describe.
- `data_points` (integer, required) — Number of monthly observations contributed by the comparable companies in this revenue range.
- `company_count` (integer, required) — Number of distinct comparable companies in this revenue range. Scatter plots draw a downsampled subset of the observations, so their point count is larger than this.

## Errors

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### Scale

- `metric` (string, required) — The metric whose scale is used to subset the benchmark data.
- `low` (double, required) — Low end of the scale.
- `high` (double, required) — High end of the scale.

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `input` (any, optional)
- `ctx` (ValidationErrorCtx, optional)

### ValidationErrorLocItems

- string
- integer

### ValidationErrorCtx
