Use content-analysis-category-trends-dataforseo to inspect category web-content statistics. Reuse my existing Toolmu connection; if setup is needed, follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md. Work within my existing authorization and agreed budget. Ask only for missing task details.
Prepare the required request: category_code must identify a supported Google product or service category; date_from must be YYYY-MM-DD, not earlier than 2022-10-31; date_group must be day, week or month; search_mode must be as_is. Confirm a supported category code rather than guessing one from its numeric range.
Explain the actual dated record returned. It is one date group, without a guarantee that it is earliest or latest. Present matching content counts, listed source domains and automated sentiment counts only when available. Keep emotional labels separate from positive/negative/neutral polarity, and distinguish missing or null values from zero. Do not turn the record into a complete period series or the short domain list into a full inventory.

Task:
For [Apparel (clothing)], show one available summary by [month], starting [January 1, 2026]. Tell me how many matching pages were found and which websites they came from. Explain that automatic tone labels describe the page text, not readers’ opinions.

Input schema

Input schema
Field / Path	Type	Requirement	Meaning
Category statistics request`request`	`object`	Required	Required object containing the category code, starting date, time grouping and fixed citation mode. All four properties must be supplied. Required fields `category_code, search_mode, date_from, date_group`
Starting date`request.date_from`	`string`	Required	Required string in YYYY-MM-DD format. The supplier accepts dates on or after 2022-10-31. The native string limit is 1–256 characters; the date must still satisfy the supplier’s format and history limit. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`
Time grouping`request.date_group`	`string`	Required	Required string: use day, week or month. It defines the supplier’s date groups, but this Tool delivers only one returned group. Choose it explicitly. Minimum length `1` Maximum length `256`
Citation mode`request.search_mode`	`string`	Required	Required fixed value as_is. The supplier includes matching citations rather than reducing them to one citation per domain. This Tool does not offer another mode. Fixed value `as_is`
Product or service category code`request.category_code`	`integer`	Required	Required integer identifying a supported Google product or service category in DataForSEO’s taxonomy. The native range is 1–100000000; it does not mean that every number identifies a valid category. Minimum `1` Maximum `100000000`
