Hi,

I’m trying to simply get the list of categories with the following JS script but all I get is a 404 error.

The docs also say that&nbsp;"The Storefront API does only require the client\_id, which you can find in the Administration -\> Sales Channel.&nbsp;"

But I can’t find a client\_id in the Administration.

```
fetch('https://escada-7427.pg.shopware.com/storefront-api/category', {
  headers: new Headers({
    'x-sw-access-key': 'SWSCY2NIOUYWUEVHEES4BTVFQQ'
  })
}).then(result => result.json().then(result => {
  console.log(result);
}))

```
