How to assign an exhibitor category

Use this guide when you need to classify an exhibitor under a specific exhibitor category for the event.

Request — assign by category name

Bash

curl -X POST "https://your-event-domain.com/api/v2/exhibitor/set" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here" \
  -F "event_id=7" \
  -F "external_id=EXT-001" \

Notes

Exhibitor categories are event-specific and separate from product categories
You can pass the category by its numeric ID or by its exact name (case-insensitive)
Only one exhibitor category can be assigned at a time
To check the assigned category, use GET /api/v2/exhibitor/get and inspect the exhibitor_category field
