Get category id return problem

    Hi there,
    I would like to implement a function to get a category name given the category ID.
    First of all I do not understand why I need to specify a Parent ID insteand of the Category ID (honestly I do not understand)
    But the main problem I have is that the call retiurn the same content (void) if I set the ID of a leaf Category (eg. 710) of if I set the ID of a non existent category (eg. 21159)
    IMHO this is a bug.

    Thank you for help

    Hi Daniele
    the solution is to retrieve the full category list with the call Vinculo (https)

    You receive back the master category id and name. you can record this data on a database table

    the you can navigate into parents by passing the parentid "&idParent=xxxx"

    with these calls you can retrieve the full category three (6 levels or less depending on the master category) with id ad name et voilà you have id and name for all cat/subcat. Record these data into the same table and then you can access to any category name by category id

    Hope this help you

    Thank you Roberto for the answer.
    You suggestion is good to retrieve the full category tree and store it into a DB.
    Unfortunately it does not answer my problem.

    Hi woodhouse,

    Indeed, the "category" call does not return the detail of the category passed in parameter but only its children.
    We note your remark to improve the behavior of this one.

    Currently, the solution proposed by "Servitel" is correct and I think you should use this logic for your development.

    Here is an example where you can retrieve the children of a parent category in the desired language: Vinculo (https)

    You can also consult this list here to find the necessary information that you need: Vinculo (https)

    Best Regards,
