Catalog API search for hats

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to use the catalog API to search for hats.
I can use the subcategory to find most accessory types - e.g. 22 here returns neck accessories
https://catalog.roblox.com/v1/search/items/details?category=11&subcategory=22

But when I try to find hats using a subcategory of 9
https://catalog.roblox.com/v1/search/items/details?category=11&subcategory=9

I get an error returned:
{“errors”:[{“code”:1,“message”:“Category subcategory selection not supported.”,“userFacingMessage”:“Something went wrong”}]}

As far as I can see from the documentation this is the correct category and subcategory to use?

Would this help?

ty, I’ve read there and I’m using the category and subcategory IDs that it says, I believe

Does anyone have any ideas on this. I’m pretty sure I’ve followed the API docs correctly (see links above) but they don’t seem to be working.
Have I done something wrong, or is this a bug, or a documentation error?

What’s you’re probably looking for is category=11&subcategory=54 (Accessories > Head Accessories)

To note, the documentation for this API on the docs site has been outdated for some time now; see up-to-date categories and subcategories from the API. (though, some categories and subcategories are disabled)

Same. Seems like catalog API is just straight up broken for category & subcategories. Not sure what the current catalog games even use? Older api?
