GET /microsoftstore/categories

Get the full Microsoft Store category (and subcategory) taxonomy for a department

Returns every accepted category for a department, and -- apps only -- each category's own finer subcategories (e.g. Books & reference -> E-reader, Fiction, Nonfiction, Reference). This is the discovery endpoint for the category/subcategory values accepted by /microsoftstore/search, /microsoftstore/category, and /microsoftstore/charts. Subcategories are apps-only: games categories have none. Credential-free public Microsoft Store data, live-verified and pinned rather than a passthrough call.

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