List the category tree

GET/v1/categories

scope catalog.read

The whole tree in one response — an ERP caches it. id is the Romanian master id and never changes between languages; tid is the row in the language you asked for. Only leaves accept listings. Each category carries its commission — the rate Biklo charges a company seller here, inherited down the tree — so you can set margins before listing rather than inferring the fee from a completed order. max_amount: null means UNCAPPED.

Query parameters#

NameExample
langroLanguage code from GET /v1/languages
parent_id—Only the children of this category

Response#

FieldTypeDescription
languagestringWhich language these names came back in.
countintegerHow many categories are in data. The tree comes back whole, not paged.
dataarrayEvery category, flat. Rebuild the tree from parent_id.
data[].idintegerThe MASTER id, and the one to send back as category_id. It is the same whatever language you asked for, so this is the one to store.
data[].tidintegerThe id of this row in the requested language. Useful only for matching a name you already hold; never send it.
data[].parent_idintegerThe parent category, for rebuilding the tree.
data[].namestringDisplay name in the requested language.
data[].slugstringURL segment for this category.
data[].depthintegerHow deep in the tree, top level being 0.
data[].is_leafbooleanWhether it has no children. List against a LEAF: a parent category will take the product, but buyers filter on leaves.
data[].shippingobjectWhat this category implies about delivery.
data[].shipping.can_be_shippedbooleanfalse means products here cannot go by courier at all, whatever you put in shipping.ship_with_us.
data[].shipping.default_weight_kgnumberThe weight assumed when a listing declares none. Send a real one — this is a fallback, not a quote.

Failures use the shared error envelope — a machine-readable code and a request_id to quote to support. Error handling.
