Retrieve the YouTube categories ids for a given region. The category ID can be set in the POST or PATCH /post endpoints.

For example, `GET https://api.ayrshare.com/api/youTubeCategories/US` for the U.S. video categories.

<Warning>
  YouTube only allows certainly categories to be assigned by a user.
  Only categories where assignable is `true` can be set in the POST or PATCH /post endpoints when creating a YouTube post.

  Other categories, which are not assignable and have `assignable: false`, will result in an error.
</Warning>

## Header Parameters

<ParamField path="region" type="string" required>
  Two letter [country code](/iso-codes/country) of the region.
