# Shop Root Categories
> Top-level TikTok Shop categories (US) — drill down with the category endpoint.
Returns the \~28 top-level categories with their ids. Pass an id to [Shop Category Products](/api-reference/endpoint/tiktok/shop-category) for subcategories and top products.
**US market only** — TikTok Shop resolves the market from the visitor's location and these endpoints read the US storefront (prices in USD). Lists return what the storefront page renders; there is no further pagination.
Each request costs **5 credits**. Failed requests are not charged.
