Manage Channel Categories

Overview

In this lesson, we'll learn:

• How to add a channel to a specific category.
• How to get all the categories to which a specific channel belongs.
• How to remove a channel from a category.

We’ll use the following endpoints to perform those operations:

• We’ll use the {base_url}/channels/{NEW_CHANNEL_ID}/categories/{category_name} endpoint to add and remove a channel from a specific category.
• We’ll use the {BASE_URL}/channels/{NEW_CHANNEL_ID}/categories endpoint to get all categories to which a channel belongs.

Note: The first endpoint requires the specific channel to belong to the authenticated user.
