get:
tags:

description: 'This method returns the eBay policies that define how to list automotive parts compatibility items in the categories of the specified marketplace.
By default, this method returns all categories that support parts compatibility. You can limit the size of the result set by using the filter query parameter to specify only the category IDs you want to review.
Note: To return policy information for the eBay US marketplace, specify EBAY_MOTORS_US as the path parameter for marketplace_id.
Tip: This method can potentially return a very large response payload. eBay recommends that the response payload be compressed by passing in the Accept-Encoding request header and setting the value to gzip.
If you specify a valid marketplace ID but that marketplace does not contain policy information, or if you filter out all results, a 204 No content status code is returned with an empty response body.'

parameters:
- name: filter

description: 'This query parameter limits the response by returning policy information for only the selected sections of the category tree. Supply categoryId values for the sections of the tree you want returned. Use the Taxonomy API to retrieve category ID values.
When you specify a categoryId value, the returned category tree includes the policies for that parent node, plus the policies for any leaf nodes below the at parent node.
The parameter takes a list of categoryId values and you can specify up to 50 separate category IDs. Separate multiple values with a pipe character (''|''). If you specify more than 50 categoryId values, eBay returns the policies for the first 50 IDs and a warning that not all categories were returned.
Example: filter=categoryIds:{183521|183523|183524}
