# Browse H&M's storefront category navigation

`GET /hm/categories`

## Request

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

Returns H&M's own storefront category navigation, department by department: every direct nav item and subcategory currently shown in the site's own menu, with its display name and storefront URL. Where this build has separately verified the value against hm-listing's own category_id parameter, that id is included too; category_id is omitted for entries not yet verified rather than guessed, since the visible category label is confirmed NOT a reliable way to derive H&M's real listing category ids for every category. department, when given, filters the result to one department.
