Returns Chewy's category taxonomy tree: how to discover group_id values for chewy_category, not the products within a category. Omitting group_id returns all top-level departments (Dog, Cat, Horse, Bird, Fish, Reptile, Small Pet, Farm and Livestock Supplies, Wild Bird and Wildlife Supplies, Pharmacy, Pet Parents); a group_id expands that specific group's own subtree instead. depth controls how many levels of subcategories are expanded in one call.
