Amazon categories hierarchy

Amazon categories are organized in a hierarchy, and each category can have one or more child categories. You can find the child categories of a specific category by using the parent category ID and utilizing the parent_id parameter. To fetch the top-level categories, you can make a request without specifying any parent_id. Top-level categories can be identified by the is_root property set to true.

Required Parameters

To specify the Amazon Category search, you have the following options:

1. Use the id parameter to search for a specific category by providing its unique identifier.

2. Use the parent_id parameter to retrieve child categories of a given parent category by specifying the parent category's ID.

3. Use the search_term parameter to search for categories that contain a specific term within the category hierarchy.

Please note that you cannot use all three parameters together or in pairs because they have different functionalities. The id parameter is used for a precise category search, the parent_id parameter is used for exploring child categories, and the search_term parameter is used for a broader search within the category hierarchy.
