    body: JSON.stringify({
            ApiKey:'<Private key>',
            FairId: '9df61f13-474b-442f-ac1f-edca7348ef71', //This value can be found in your url it's the value of f
            Body: {
				Name: "Category Name",
				NameShort: "Category Abbreviation",
				Description: "", //optional
				Grades: [9,10,11,12], //optional, use 0 for kindergarten. If not set category will be open to all grades
				Id: 123 //optional, this will cause the category at this id to be updated,
