### Illustrative sample output

This example shows one response. Values and optional fields vary with the data available.

### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `geo` | `string` | US |
| `language` | `string` | en-US |
| `period` | `string` | today 12-m |
| `results` | `array` | 3 items |
| `results` | `array` | 3 items |
| `terms` | `array` | 2 items |
| `terms` | `array` | 2 items |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
