Name
This attribute shows a human-friendly label. You cannot use this label to search items. If you are interested in searching using categories ids, you can use the following request:
curl -X GET https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/MLA/search?category=MLA5726Path from root
When you are in a category you can know the path from root to the category selected. Take a look how MercadoLibre uses this path to show the item’s category:
Finding the best category for your item
A leaf category is the last category on the tree and those are the only categories where you can post items. Choosing the right category for your item will determine how quickly buyers will find your item and will improve your chances of selling it. For this reason, we highly recommend to use our Category predictor tool before listing an item. Maybe some categories won't have a good suggestions, so you'll have to make the user of your system to map manually the categories for his products. The simplest process could be to use the Category API and navigate the category tree to detect the best option. You must use only those categories retrieved from the API which don’t have subcategories related. Another option could be to find similar items in MercadoLibre and use their category.
