GETapiKey2 credits/requestalt.categoriesResponseDocAlt

GET /alt/categories

List Alt search filter values

Returns every accepted value for alt-search/alt-auctions/alt-sold-listings' category, auction_house, grading_company, and listing_type params, plus the sort enum. category/auction_house/grading_company/listing_type are read live from Alt's own current search index via a facets-only query on every call, not a fixed taxonomy -- so this endpoint self-corrects if Alt's aggregator adds a new source auction house, grading company, or category. Credential-free public data from Alt's own search backend.

API key required. Paste a full key or rotate one from the API Keys page.
