# Get Depop's category taxonomy

`GET /depop/categories`

## Request

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

Returns Depop's full department, category, and subcategory taxonomy -- every value usable with /depop/search's and /depop/shop/{username}'s category/subcategory filters. Tries a live refresh from Depop's own category-filter API first and falls back to a static snapshot on any failure, so this never errors.

## Headers

- `x-api-key` string, required
