API: Categories

Specification
This API lets you retrieve the list of all categories available on each site.

Synchronous

This API is synchronous, and will return the body directly in the HTTP response.

Stores

By default, this API retrieves the list of categories available on the Kogan.com AU store.
Other stores may have a smaller sub-set of categories available.
For example, to see the categories available on Matt Blatt, use the store_code of mb.

Example

{
  "id": 0,
  "title": "Example Category",
  "slug": "example-category",
  "display": "Parent » Example Category",
  "departments": [
    "Department 1",
    "Department 2"
  ],
  "url": "https://www.kogan.com/au/shop/category/example-category/",
  "parent_category": 0
}
