AI-Powered Product Categorization for Media

Media Product Categorization

The media vertical encompasses a diverse range of entertainment and informational products including physical and digital books, music recordings, video content, magazines, and newspapers. With the resurgence of vinyl records and the continued demand for physical media alongside digital formats, accurate categorization is essential for media retailers to reach collectors, enthusiasts, and everyday consumers. Our AI-powered API automatically classifies media products into the correct taxonomy categories across all major marketplaces.

Media products require nuanced categorization due to the variety of formats, genres, and content types. A limited edition vinyl LP categorizes differently than a standard CD release, and a first edition hardcover requires different taxonomy placement than an ebook. Our machine learning models understand these distinctions, having been trained on millions of media listings to recognize formats, genres, authors, artists, and edition specifications that determine proper category placement.

Whether you're selling books on Amazon, listing vinyl records on Shopify, managing a Google Shopping feed for DVDs and Blu-rays, or running an online music store, our API handles the complexity of media taxonomy mapping with industry-leading accuracy.

Media Taxonomy Hierarchy

Media follows a structured hierarchical taxonomy across all major e-commerce platforms. Products must be classified from broad categories down to specific subcategories such as "Media > Books > Fiction > Science Fiction > Space Opera". Our API navigates this complexity automatically.

Tier 2 Media Categories

Each Tier 2 category contains multiple Tier 3 and Tier 4 subcategories. Our API automatically determines the full category path for your products.
