## API internal migration on August 7, 2023

**API**

We are implementing an internal migration for [GET v3/catalog/categories](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/catalog/categories) and [GET v3/catalog/categories/\{category_id}](/developer/api-reference/rest/admin/catalog/categories) endpoints to enhance our API’s performance. If you experience any unexpected API behavior on the following endpoint, please check the documentation to ensure all accurate query params and API usage.
