- `category` (string, required): The category's URL slug, e.g. "electronics", "books", "toys-and-games", "beauty", "software". Find the right slug by browsing amazon.com/Best-Sellers and reading it off the URL of the category tab you land on — it's the same slug Amazon's own nav uses.
- `limit` (integer, optional): Max products to return, in Amazon's own rank order. The list page renders 30 without scrolling; asking for more than that returns what the page holds.
