# Etsy Category Search

## Key Points

- **Required**: `keyword` (substring match against category name, category ID, `parentIds`).
- **Pagination**: `page` starts at 1; `pageSize` defaults to 50, maximum 200.
- The returned **`id`** can be used as the category identifier for Etsy product search / store query `category` parameters (consistent with the specific tool schema).

## Script (Optional)

Command-line debugging: `python scripts/etsy_category_search.py ''<JSON>''` (requires `NEXSCOPE_API_KEY`). See [references/api.md](references/api.md) for details.

## Reference

Input/output parameter tables are in [references/api.md](references/api.md).
