Category Data Unavailable - Unable to Create New Category Filters via Management Panel #153

Closed rthaut closed 3 years ago

rthaut commented 3 years ago

The API request(s) to retrieve the category hierarchy appear to be failing. This prevents users from creating new category filters via the management panel:

The official documentation now lists this API as deprecated:

Attempts to specify different versions of the API all yield the same result when requesting any catpath:

{
    "error": "invalid_request",
    "error_description": "Category path not found.",
    "status": "error"
}

No alternative/successor API or process is given, which might indicate that DeviantArt is dropping the traditional category system altogether.

I have created an issue on the API repository, though I don't expect to receive any help/answers.
