Project Category API

Last modified: December 11, 2025

Introduction

The Mendix Project Category API allows you to create, edit or delete your project categories.

Authentication

Authentication for the Project Category API uses a personal access token (PAT).

Generating a PAT

For details on how to generate a PAT, refer to the Personal Access Tokens section of User Settings.

Select the appropriate scopes, depending on the endpoints that need to be invoked. Refer to the API Reference for more information on which scopes to use in which endpoints.

Store the generated value somewhere safe so you can use it to authorize your API calls.

Using the PAT

Each request must contain an Authorization header with the value MxToken {GENERATED_PAT}. For example:

GET /companies/{:companyId}/categories HTTP/1.1
Authorization: MxToken 7LJE…vk
