Best Buy API endpoint
Returns Best Buy's fine-grained, often deeply-nested product-type categories (e.g. "Windows Laptops", "55-Inch TVs (55 - 64 in)", "PS5 Consoles") sourced from the homepage's own "Best Selling" section -- much more specific than bestbuy_categories' 21 current top-level departments. Each id is directly usable as bestbuy_category's category_id input.
/bestbuy/categories/trendingNo parameters.
Notable response behavior:
id is directly usable as bestbuy_category's category_id input, the same as bestbuy_categories and bestbuy_brands.| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
