Taxonomy API returning invalid categoryIDs inside Business & Industrial -> Office -> Office Supplies
Just making a standard API call to the following URL:
https://api.ebay.com/commerce/taxonomy/v1/category_tree/0
and 99% of the returned data seems to be fine but one area which we list in is returning invalid category IDs, parsed example result below:
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">25344</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">11834</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding --<span class="">></span> Other Office Filing <span class="">&</span> Binding</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">25345</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding --<span class="">></span> Binders <span class="">&</span> Supplies</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">25346</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding --<span class="">></span> Files <span class="">&</span> Supplies</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">61755</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding --<span class="">></span> Binding Covers <span class="">&</span> Spines</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
<span><<span class="">option</span> <span class="">value</span>="<a target="_blank">61756</a>"></span><span>Business <span class="">&</span> Industrial --<span class="">></span> Office --<span class="">></span> Office Supplies --<span class="">></span> Filing, Storage <span class="">&</span> Binding --<span class="">></span> Binding Machines</span><span></<span class="">option</span>></span>
These category IDs aren't the same as the ones on the ebay UK website but it seems to affect most of the Office Supplies category.
I can't find anything inside the JSON result that would indicate the correct values.
E.G. Binding-Supplies Returns results for category ID = 148459 but that value isn't in the returned taxonomy data.
