Assigning categories to products using APIs.

Site URL: http://thirstydice.com

Hi,

I posted this in the wrong forum earlier and it was deleted, so I respectfully request to ask this again (this time hopefully in the correct plact):

How can I use the API to assign products to a category? I have/will have hundreds of items uploaded/removed at various times but I can only see how to assign tags using either the Products API or the Inventory API.

Categories are crucial to any online store, and I would argue that if the API is to be useful at all then it should allow category assignations like it does tags. I'm perfectly fine with adding categories before or after, but the ability to associate them with a product is pretty important.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the confirmation. 😕

Sadly, this makes a product API mostly useless since it can't control the most basic means of sorting products in a Squarespace store. 

Is there any way to read the categories assigned to a product through the API, even if writing is not supported?

And if not, is there a way to request this feature be added?

You can read tags but not categories.
