About the Categories API

The Categories API allows site visitors to get and query blog categories. Categories let Wix users sort blog posts into different topics covered on a site. This gives site visitors an idea of what the blog posts are about, and makes it easier for them to find relevant content.

There can be up to 100 categories per language on a blog, and up to 10 categories per post. Categories appear in the Category Menu in the order they were created.

With the Wix Categories API, you can:

  • List, create, update, and delete categories.
  • Retrieve categories by their slug.
  • Query categories based on specific criteria.
  • Enable users to organize and categorize content efficiently.
