About

The Product Categories API generates a list of suitable categories for a given product, along with their relevance scores. By providing the product name and its parameters, this API returns related categories and their weights as float values ranging from 1.0 to 10.0, where 10 represents the highest relevance.
This API is highly useful for developers building e-commerce platforms, product catalog management systems, or bulk product processing tools. It automates the categorization of products, ensuring accuracy and consistency. Use cases include populating product catalog data, enhancing product search algorithms, and improving inventory management systems.
Apy Jobs are long running calls which are split into two actions:
1. Submitting the job
2. Checking the status of the job and receiving the response on successful completion of the job.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
