## About

## What it does
Product Category Generator helps you turn a product name and its parameters into a ranked set of category suggestions. Send `content` in the request body, and optionally include `context` to narrow the category space, `language` to control the output language, `voice_tone` to shape the wording, and `max_quantity` to limit how many categories you want back.

The POST endpoint starts an asynchronous job and returns a `job_id` plus a `status_url`. You then poll the status endpoint with that `job_id` until the job reaches `success`, `failed`, `queued`, or `running`.

When the job completes successfully, the result includes an array of category objects with `name` and `weight`. Use the weights to sort or filter the suggested categories before mapping them into your own taxonomy, autocomplete flow, catalog enrichment pipeline, or internal classification workflow.

Use Product Category Generator when you need category ideas for a new listing, want to standardize product taxonomy across vendors, or need a lightweight way to generate category candidates before a human review step.
