Need to map out Etsy's entire category structure for your project? I've been there—manually clicking through that nested menu is a headache you don't need. This actor solves that by tapping directly into Etsy's own API to pull the complete, organized taxonomy. It fetches every category and subcategory, along with their unique taxonomy IDs and the clear parent-child relationships between them. What you get is a clean, structured dataset of the marketplace's hierarchy, ready for analysis or integration. I use this when building product feeds, setting up targeted scrapers, or analyzing market niches on Etsy. Having the official IDs is key for accuracy, and knowing the parent-child links saves hours of manual work trying to reconstruct the tree yourself. It just gives you a reliable foundation to work from. Run it once to get a full snapshot, or schedule it to catch any updates Etsy makes to its categories. The output is straightforward and ready for your database, spreadsheet, or next automation step.
