Try the Kroger category API

Browses a Kroger product category and returns product cards plus facet groups, in the same shape as kroger-search. slug and category_id together identify the category (e.g. "pet" and "27" for kroger.com/pl/pet/27) -- call kroger-categories to discover every valid slug/category_id pair. It uses category_id as a taxonomy filter, with real pagination, and the source field reports which path answered. Facet filters and sort apply to the primary path only: when any of them is set, a failure of that path returns an error rather than silently falling back to unfiltered results.

Response behavior

- **Filters and sort apply to the `json_api` path only.** When any of them is set and that path fails, the request returns an error instead of falling back to the rendered page — the HTML path cannot honor these filters, so returning its unfiltered results would be wrong. Unfiltered requests still fall back as before. - Each result's `upc` is usable directly as the `upc` query parameter to [`/kroger/product`](kroger-product.md). - `total_count` is Kroger's own count of matching products on the `json_api` path. On the `html` fallback it reflects only what that page reported as loaded. - `source`, `has_more`, `facets`, `brand` and `stock_level` behave exactly as documented for [`/kroger/search`](kroger-search.md) — the two endpoints share one implementation, with `category_id` sent as a taxonomy filter instead of a keyword query. - **Pagination is real on the `json_api` path**; on the `html` fallback it remains best-effort. - A missing `slug` or `category_id` returns `400` before any upstream request is made.
