Get a Hierarchy's Children
GET/catalog/hierarchies/:hierarchy_id/children
Returns the parent nodes for the specified hierarchy.
If you have multiple catalog rules defined, the rule that best matches the shopperʼs context is used to determine which catalog is retrieved. For information about how rules are matched, see Resolving Catalog Rules.
In the bread_crumb
metadata, you can identify the parent nodes that a node is associated with. This is useful if you want to improve how your shoppers search your store, for example. See Product and Node Associations in Breadcrumb Metadata.

Building breadcrumbs in a storefront
In a catalog, you can use a filter to return a list of nodes in a hierarchy structure that a product belongs to. You can use this to build breadcrumbs in your storefront. An example is shown below.
filter=in(id,c83bfe55-0d87-4302-a86d-ab19e7e323f1,6003d7ef-84f3-49bb-a8bd-4cbfa203dcbb)
- Specify the node Ids in the filter expression.
- You can have as many node Ids as you want.
- It does not matter what order you specify the node Ids. The nodes are returned in the order they were last updated.
Request
Path Parameters
The catalog hierarchy ID.
Query Parameters
This endpoint supports filtering, see Filtering.
Possible values: >= 1
The maximum number of records per page for this response. You can set this value up to 100. If no page size is set, the page length store setting is used.
Possible values: <= 10000
The current offset by number of records, not pages. Offset is zero-based. The maximum records you can offset is 10,000. If no page size is set, the page length store setting is used.
Header Parameters
The list of channels in which this catalog can be displayed. A channel is the shopping experience, such as a mobile app or web storefront. If empty, the catalog rule matches all channels. The channel will eventually be included in the bearer token that is used for authorization, but currently, you must set the EP-Channel
header in your requests.
Product tags are used to store or assign a key word against a product. The product tag can then be used to describe or label that product. Using product tags means that you can group your products together, for example, by brand, category, subcategory, colors, types, industries, and so on. You can enhance your product list using tags, enabling you to refine your product list and run targeted promotions. Tags are used to refine the eligibility criteria for a rule. Requests populate the catalog rule tag using the EP-Context-Tag
header.
The language and locale your storefront prefers. See Accept-Language.
