Zara Categories API returns the categories of one country as a flat list. Each category has category_id, name, section, the parent names in path, level, whether it has subcategories and the page url. Use the category_id as category_id in /api/zara/search. Send section (WOMAN, MAN, KID or HOME) to get one section; without it all four sections are returned, which is a large answer. Menu dividers, titles and entries without a name or page are left out. A category that several sections link appears once and sections names all of them; the section filter matches any of them. Some top-level entries group subcategories and may list no products. The tree is cached for six hours. A successful request costs 1 credit.
