hmmm, we pull from and work with data in the database all the time... less often through the APIs.

You have already been through the list of Hotcakes API Endpoints?
https://hotcakescommerce....5-REST-API-Endpoints

There is a specific one for Categories
https://hotcakescommerce....oints-for-Categories

And if you're needing some more info, there are these two helpful articles and content from Will

Great response, Ryan.

As a general FYI for all readers - It's generally never a good idea to directly query the database for any commercial or open-source application. The database is considered to be part of the core application and is subject to change during an upgrade. It can break the application that you've deployed or even invalidate support.

Oh, and here is the server-side API code to call to get a list of categories:

var HccApp = HotcakesApplication.Current;
var allCats = HccApp.CatalogServices.Categories.FindAllSnapshotsPaged(1, 5000);

You can see an example of that below:

Is it workable for multilanguage portal?
