Help for Aimeos

Hello Aimeos, thank you for your efforts again

I have a small issue, this is the structure of my catalog, products

• Main Category
  • Level 1 Category
    • Sub Category
      • My product

My question is, what is the best way to get the "Level 1 Category" when fetching the product using the json API ( To be specific, I only need the catalog media).
When i add the "include = catalog" parameter, i only get the direct related category, which is the Sub Category.

Is there a clean way to solve my request. (I thought about fetching the Sub Category, but there is no parameter that allows us to get the parent catalog if i'm not mistaken)

Thank you again !

Yes, using "include=catalog" will only return "Sub Category" and there's no way to retrieve the parent category within the same request. Also, the parent ID isn't exposed via the JSON API at all.

The only option would be to fetch "Main Category" including all subcategories once (depending on how much categories you have this may or may not be an option) and check which is the parent category of "Sub Category".

Thx, appreciate it.
All is clear.

Thanks for you reply. In my case the option is doable, i only have few categories/subcategories
