API Overview This is the Level 1 product category dictionary endpoint. It returns standardized category IDs, category names, category level, language, and parent IDs based on the selected language, and is mainly used to resolve a broad category name into EchoTik's canonical category ID before calling other category-sensitive APIs.Recommended Use Cases
Build a category mapping table
Power category dropdowns or filters in internal tools
Resolve natural-language categories into EchoTik category IDs
Prepare Level 1 category inputs for product, seller, ranking, and category analytics APIs
Notes
Data comes from EchoTik's offline database, so there can be a delay; if the API returns no data, it usually means the entity has not been collected by EchoTik yet
