CategoryGroup

Ads can fall into one or more of various categories (e.g. Dining), and these categories can form a hierarchy (e.g. Dining -> Italian Dining). To facilitate the visual display of ads in this hierarchy the API will return an array of CategoryGroup objects. Each CategoryGroup describes a category along with its subcategories and the ads that fall into that category. Ads can appear in multiple category groups but are guaranteed to appear in at least one.

Info

Note that as of the initial release of the Portal API there are only top-level categories and this the subcategories field will always be undefined or empty.
