GET /appstore/editorial/category

Retrieve an App Store category-scoped editorial page

Returns the curated editorial shelves for one device category page (e.g. "Entertainment Apps for Vision"). `category_id` is a numeric, device-specific editorial page ID — not a static enum — discovered from an `appstore_editorial` response for the SAME `device`, in its "Browse by Category" shelf items' `destination_id` field. `device` enum: `iphone`, `ipad`, `mac`, `vision`, `watch`, `tv`.

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