# Browse a CVS OTC category page

`GET /cvs/category`

## Request

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

Returns one page of a CVS.com OTC (over-the-counter) retail category, subcategory, or brand page's product grid: products with title, brand, image, current/original price, and sponsored/featured/new-product flags; the total result count; and the facets (brand, color, size, price range, and other category-specific attributes, each with its selectable values and result counts) available to filter the page further. Covers the non-prescription retail catalog only. path is the segment of a page URL after "/shop/", e.g. "beauty" (top-level category), "health-medicine/allergy-sinus" (subcategory), or "brand-shop/s/safe-home" (brand page); a full https://www.cvs.com/shop/... URL or a "/shop/..." path is also accepted. Any of these can also carry an optional facet-filter suffix in the site's own URL shape, e.g. "beauty/makeup/eyes/q/CoverGirl/Black/brpc" to filter to brand CoverGirl and color Black -- see the response's facets field for which values/type codes a given category supports; filter values are case-sensitive exactly as the site renders them. page is a 1-indexed page number (default 1). sort is an optional result order matching the site's own Sort By control. CVS.com is only available from US and US-territory locations; a request served from an unsupported region returns an upstream error rather than an empty result.
