How to use it
The categorisation product is NOT a separate API. You can retrieve the categories for the transactions for your customer's by making an API request to the transactions API with insights=true. This will return an object that contains a cleansed description, the category and the category confidence (i.e.: how certain Lean is that the transaction belongs to that category). For more details please see our API reference for retail data and our API reference for corporate data.
