Returns items in one or more specified categories. Filters can be used to restrict the results.
Call that uses FindItemsByCategoryRequest:
Fields
categoryId ( string )
itemFilter ( ItemFilter )
aspectFilter ( AspectFilter ) [0..*]
Aspect filters refine (limit) the number of items returned by a find request. Obtain input values for aspectFilter fields from an aspectHistogramContainer returned in the response of a previous query.
By issuing a series of find queries, you can continually refine the items returned in your responses. Do this by repeating a query using the aspect values returned in one response as the input values to your next query.
For example, the aspectHistogramContainer in a response on Men's Shoes could contain an aspect of Size, along with "aspect values" for the different sizes currently available in Men's Shoes. By populating aspectFilter fields with the values returned in an aspectHistogramContainer, you can refine the item results returned by your new query.
