Get children categories

get

/km/api/v1/categories/{id}/children

This method returns a list of immediate children categories of the specified category.

This resource supports the orderBy request parameter. You can use this parameter along with the HTTP service request to sort the returned list.

You must get the schema and catalog of the resource for additional values that you can use with the orderBy parameter. To get the schema and catalog of the resource, you must use the GET method with the mediaType value as 'application/schema+json' in the HTTP request.

This resource also supports the withParents request parameter.

When the withParents request parameter is set to true, for each category returned the parent categories of that category will be included, ordered from the root category to the immediate parent of each returned category.

Category and Product Visibility Filtering

The visibility of products and categories is dependent on the type of user making the request, and the content type and views associated with the request. The content type, and interface ID parameters are optional.

The example URI to get schema and catalog of the resource is as follows:

  • http://<IM_REST_API_HOST>/km/api/latest/metadata-catalog/categories

The example URI to get list of parents included in the returned category object is as follows:

  • http://<IM_REST_API_HOST>/km/api/latest/categories/{id}/children?withParents=true
