📘 Onboarding guide

Check the new Catalog onboarding guide. We created this guide to improve the onboarding experience for developers at VTEX. It assembles all documentation on our Developer Portal about Catalog and is organized by focusing on the developer's journey.

Permissions

Any user or API key must have at least one of the appropriate License Manager resources to be able to successfully run this request. Otherwise they will receive a status code 403 error. These are the applicable resources for this endpoint:

ProductCategoryResource
CatalogContentCategory

There are no applicable predefined roles for this resource list. You must create a custom role and add at least one of the resources above in order to use this endpoint. To learn more about machine authentication at VTEX, see Authentication overview.

❗ To prevent integrations from having excessive permissions, consider the best practices for managing API keys when assigning License Manager roles to integrations.
