Know before you build
What this endpoint covers
- categories contains the grouped category tree while results exposes flat category/subcategory rows. count refers to flat rows rather than the number of parent category groups.
- Use the returned category and subcategory IDs for category product requests at the same place. Categories can differ by store.

Questions
Zepto Categories API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Still have a question?
Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
How much does the Zepto Categories API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Every input is optional; the input fields below list what each one does.
Do I need a Zepto login?
No. It reads public Zepto data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds zepto.categories, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
