# Categories

Categories give a general idea of an activity's main themes. Every activity belongs to at least one category.

The categories for an activity are visible in both the `/activities` and `/activities/{activityUuid}` endpoints in the `categories` property:


```json
{
	"categories": [
		{
			"id": 209,
			"name": "Attractions & guided tours",
			"level": "1",
			"code": "new-attractions-guided-tours",
			[...]
		},
		{
			"id": 212,
			"name": "Monuments",
			"level": "2",
			"code": "new-monuments",
			[...]
			"parent_id": 209
		}
	],
}
```
