Microsoft Store

Browse a Microsoft Store category without a keyword

Returns a page of a single department+category listing, cursor-paginated, with no search keyword required -- the way to list an entire category (search requires a non-empty query and returns nothing for an empty one). category is required; the accepted set depends on media_type (see /microsoftstore/search's markdown doc for the full per-department lists). media_type defaults to apps; all is not accepted here since it has no category filter.
