Understanding Target's node IDs
Target's category system uses node IDs to identify specific categories. These node IDs are unique identifiers in Target's taxonomy system.
Example node IDs
Node IDs can be found in the category page URL. It's the part of the URL that has the format N-<5 symbols>
. Here are some example category URLs and their corresponding node IDs:
PlayStation 5 controllers:
owq2q
PlayStation 5 accessories:
lbxgt
PlayStation 5:
hj96d
Node ID format
When using the target_category
source, you only need to provide the node ID without the N-
prefix. The API will automatically format the URL correctly.
