# Browse a Chewy category listing

`GET /chewy/category`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/chewy/category`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns one page (36 products) of a Chewy category/browse listing's product grid (price, autoship price/discount, stock, rating, images), plus embedded facets and breadcrumbs. group_id is Chewy's own numeric category id -- the trailing id segment of a chewy.com/b/<slug>-<id> browse URL, e.g. 294 for /b/dry-food-294. Every breadcrumbs[].group_id and facets[].options[].value in a response is a ready-to-use group_id for a follow-up call, so a caller can discover the full category taxonomy starting from a known category. A group_id Chewy does not recognize returns a 404 rather than an unfiltered listing. sort and filter narrow/reorder the listing; every facets[].value paired with one of that facet's options[].value from any prior response is a valid filter key:value pair (e.g. brand, breed size, flavor, price range, customer rating -- whichever facets that category exposes). Set include_content to also return the category's curated editorial content -- Chewy's own FAQ question/answer pairs, the rich category description, and the SEO page title and meta description; it costs no extra upstream call and is omitted entirely when not requested. A keyword search carries none of this content, so it is a category-only addition.
