AI-Powered Product Categorization for Tools

Tools Product Categorization

The tools vertical encompasses a vast range of products from consumer hand tools and DIY power tools to professional-grade equipment and industrial machinery. With hundreds of subcategories spanning drills, saws, wrenches, measuring instruments, and specialty equipment, accurate categorization is essential for tool retailers to maximize product visibility. Our AI-powered API automatically classifies tool products into the correct taxonomy categories across all major marketplaces.

Tool products require precise categorization due to the wide variety of tool types, power sources, and intended applications. A cordless impact driver needs different taxonomy placement than a corded drill, and a pipe wrench categorizes differently than a torque wrench. Our machine learning models understand these distinctions, having been trained on millions of tool product listings to deliver exceptional classification accuracy across hand tools, power tools, and industrial equipment.

Whether you're selling drills on Amazon, listing saws on Shopify, or managing a Google Shopping feed for professional tools, our API handles the complexity of tool taxonomy mapping. We support automatic classification into Google Product Taxonomy, Amazon Browse Nodes, Shopify Standard Product Taxonomy, and eBay categories.

Tools Taxonomy Hierarchy

Tools follow a deep hierarchical taxonomy structure across all major e-commerce platforms. Products must be classified from broad categories like "Hardware > Tools" down to specific subcategories such as "Tools > Power Tools > Drills > Cordless Drills". Our API navigates this complexity automatically.

Tier 3 Tool Categories

Each category contains multiple subcategories. For example, "Drills" branches into Cordless Drills, Hammer Drills, Drill Presses, and more. Our API determines the full category path automatically.

API Integration for Tool Products

Integrating tool product categorization into your workflow is straightforward with our RESTful API.

import requests

def categorize_tool(product_description, api_key):
    base_url = "https://www.productcategorization.com/api/ecommerce/ecommerce_category6_get.php"
    params = {"query": product_description, "api_key": api_key, "data_type": "google"}
    response = requests.get(base_url, params=params)
    return response.json()

# Example: Categorize a cordless drill
result = categorize_tool(
    "DeWalt DCD999B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill 1/2 inch",
    "your_api_key_here"
)
print(f"Category: {result['category']}")
# Output: Hardware > Tools > Power Tools > Drills > Hammer Drills

async function categorizeTool(productDescription, apiKey) {
    const baseUrl = 'https://www.productcategorization.com/api/ecommerce/ecommerce_category6_get.php';
    const params = new URLSearchParams({query: productDescription, api_key: apiKey, data_type: 'google'});
    const response = await fetch(`${baseUrl}?${params}`);
    return response.json();
}

// Example: Categorize a circular saw
categorizeTool(
    'Makita 5007MG 7-1/4 inch Circular Saw Magnesium 15 Amp Corded',
    'your_api_key'
).then(result => console.log('Category:', result.category));
