Depop Categories API Documentation Get the category data you need to build valid filters. The filters view lists departments with their groups and product types. The groups view adds attributes and measurements per product type with names in several languages. The size_mapping view maps each category to its size sets. The data changes slowly and is cached for hours. The data is public Depop data and the endpoint is read only. A failed request is never billed.
