# Dun & Bradstreet: Dnb Get Reference Category

> Look up D&B reference-code values for a category. Includes SDK V2 guidance, input constraints, response fields, and Deepline credit cost.

Look up D\&B reference-code values for a category.

<Info>
  Tool ID: `dnb_get_reference_category`
</Info>

## Run this action

Use the TypeScript SDK for a single call. Put `ctx.tools.execute(...)` inside a Play when the call should be durable, scheduled, or run across a CSV.

```ts theme={null}
import { Deepline } from 'deepline';

const deepline = await Deepline.connect();
const result = await deepline.tools.execute(
  'dnb_get_reference_category',
  {
    "id": 123
  },
);

console.log(result.toolResponse.raw);
```

### CLI

```bash theme={null}
deepline tools execute dnb_get_reference_category --input '{
  "id": 123
}' --json
```

## Example response

The static output schema is not detailed enough to generate a reliable example. Use `deepline tools get dnb_get_reference_category --json` for the complete live contract.

* Estimated Deepline credits: `0` per pricing unit.
* Provider-native pricing may still exist outside Deepline credit billing.
