Retrieve Product Categories

For international shipping, it's important to declare the type of product being shipped for accurate tax and duty calculations. You're able to retrieve and store the attributes used by Easyship by using the reference resource.

In order to download the categories, you'll need to issue a GET request to:
/reference/v1/categories
