}Authorizations
A secret API key. Publishable keys cannot reach this API. A key may carry an expiry, and an expired key is refused exactly like an unknown one, with a 401 that names no reason; check the key's expires_at in the dashboard rather than inferring it from a response. When a merchant rolls a key's secret they choose a grace window of up to 3 days, and for its duration BOTH the new secret and the one it replaced authenticate, so an integration moves over on its own deploy schedule instead of at the instant the button is pressed. Move before the window closes: after it, the old secret is refused. Nothing else about this contract moves with a roll. The key keeps its id and its scopes, so the only thing an integration updates is the credential itself.
Query Parameters
Narrows to live or hidden categories. Read STRICTLY: exactly true or false, or omitted. An unrecognised value is a 400 rather than "no filter", because an integrator with a typo would otherwise receive every category, believe they had asked for only the live ones, and never learn otherwise.
Categories touched at or after this RFC3339 instant, for reconciling incrementally instead of re-reading the whole taxonomy. Supplying it CHANGES THE ORDER of this endpoint: the default walk descends created_at, and this one climbs updated_at, because that is the only ordering in which a keyset walk over a column the merchant keeps rewriting cannot skip a row. A category renamed, re-ranked or re-parented mid-walk moves forward past your position and is returned again, so the walk is AT LEAST ONCE: apply the state of each row you receive and a repeat costs nothing, while a miss would be storefront navigation silently diverging from what the merchant set. The bound is INCLUSIVE, so resuming from the newest updated_at you hold re-delivers the rows sharing that instant rather than dropping the ones your last page did not reach. A cursor belongs to ONE ordering and is refused by the other. ARCHIVED CATEGORIES LEAVE THIS WALK SILENTLY, as they leave the default list: it tells you what changed, not what went away.
Rows per page. Out of range is a 400 rather than a silent clamp, so a client asking for more than 100 learns it did not get it.
1 <= x <= 100The next_cursor from the previous page. Opaque: decode nothing from it and construct nothing by hand, since its encoding is not part of this contract. Omit it to read the first page.
