Hey @jerome-diver Can you please elaborate and provide some examples, if possible?

[jerome-diver]

@Anubhav-Bhargava i can imagine what could be a request, but i can not give an example about something i don't know how it is working.
I would like to get categories facets by page for a given page_size, and for selected country and/or selected langage (and sorted_by category name):
french_categories_page2 = openfoodfacts.factes.get_categories(country="France", page=2, page_size=25, sorted_by='name')

@Anubhav-Bhargava, i answered but you didn't tell me how to get products by categories for a defined country with the total products count number. Could you help me with that please ?

@jerome-diver Currently there is no such functionality available. I've raised a request with the team to look into it.
Will update you if there's any progress.
