# Browse a Microsoft Store category without a keyword

`GET /microsoftstore/category`

## Request

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

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.

## Query parameters

- `category` string, required
- `media_type` 'apps' | 'games' | 'devices' | 'passes' | 'fonts' | 'themes' | 'tencent-android' | 'tencent-mini'
- `cursor` string
- `country` string
- `locale` string

## Headers

- `x-api-key` string, required
