Hotline.ua category menu
GET https://api.api.sh/hotline/v1/categories
Hotline.ua's category menu: every department, group and category with id, title, link and path, or one branch when id is given. Paths work with the category endpoints.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Part of the Hotline.ua API: 13 endpoints with prices, use cases and example responses.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Return only this menu item and its children. |
lang | uk | ru | Language (default uk). |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/hotline/v1/categories" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/hotline/v1/categories",
params={},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/hotline/v1/categories");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
