  title: Nuvemshop / Tiendanube Admin Categories API
  description: 'Store-scoped REST Admin API for the Nuvemshop (Tiendanube) e-commerce platform. This document models a grounded, representative subset of the public API - products, product variants, product images, categories, orders, customers, coupons, webhooks, scripts, and store - as documented at https://tiendanube.github.io/api-documentation/.


    Every path is relative to a per-store base that embeds the store id, for example `https://api.tiendanube.com/2025-03/{store_id}`. The Brazilian mirror `https://api.nuvemshop.com.br/2025-03/{store_id}` serves the same API, and the long-standing `v1` path (`https://api.tiendanube.com/v1/{store_id}`) remains available as the legacy equivalent.


    Authentication is OAuth 2 (authorization code grant). The resulting non-expiring access token is sent in a NON-STANDARD header named `Authentication` with a lowercase `bearer` prefix (`Authentication: bearer ACCESS_TOKEN`) - using `Authorization` or a different case returns 401. Every request must also send a descriptive `User-Agent` header identifying the app and a contact (name/email or URL); omitting it returns 400.


    NOTE ON MODELING: endpoint paths, methods, and the auth/header/rate-limit behavior below are grounded in the live documentation. Request and response body schemas are simplified representative models (marked with additionalProperties) rather than the provider''s full field-level schema.'
