Category Rankings Response

The response to the category rankings request is a hash that contains: the start and end date of the selected time period, one list of rank for each top chart the app ranked on, and for each of those chart the maximum depth we were able to obtain.

A null rank in a top chart on a specific date means that we were not able to find your app in the specific top chart. A corresponding null in the max fetched entries means we did not fetch the chart at all.
