# Benchmark Scaling

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

Get scaling models for a specific category.

Scaling models show how metrics change as companies grow (e.g., how growth rates
change with revenue scale). Each model contains raw data points, predicted trends,
and confidence bands.

**Parameters:**
- `category`: The business category (e.g., "saas", "ai", "consumer")
- `model`: Optional list of specific models to return (e.g., ["12m_growth_vs_scale"])

Reference: https://docs.termina.ai/api-reference/data/benchmark/get-scaling

## 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)

### Query parameters

- `model` (list of string, optional, nullable)

## Response

### 200

Successful Response

- `map from string to ScaleModel`

## Errors

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Validation Error

- `detail` (list of ValidationError, optional)

## Types

### ScaleModel

- `raw_data` (list of map from string to double, required) — Raw data points used to generate the scaling model. Each dictionary contains exactly two key-value pairs representing the x-metric (typically a scale metric like revenue) and y-metric (the metric being modeled). The keys are dynamic metric names that vary by model - for example, '12m_growth_vs_scale' uses 'rolling_3m_annualized_revenue' (x) and 'cmgr12' (y). Use the /data/benchmark/metadata/models endpoint to see which columns each model uses.
- `pred` (list of map from string to double, required) — Predicted center trend line of the scaling model. Each dictionary contains the same two metric keys as raw_data, representing the model's predicted y-value at each x-value along the trend line.
- `bands` (list of BandResponse, required) — Bands representing the range of the scaling model.

### ValidationError

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

### BandResponse

- `alpha` (double, required) — Quantile significance level for the band, which represents the share of data points expected to lie beyond the band.
- `x` (list of double, optional)
- `low` (list of double, optional)
- `high` (list of double, optional)

### ValidationErrorLocItems

- string
- integer

### ValidationErrorCtx
