# H&M Categories API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/hm/categories)

> Returns H&M's website navigation tree: department nodes with child categories, hrefs, and tracking labels. The upstream has no language parameter; the dump is the US tree (/en_us/ hrefs). This is reference taxonomy, not a product listing.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/hm/categories` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/hm/categories" \
