You can use our api to add categories to your contest. To do this you need to POST a message to your site. Below is an example of what needs to be posted.

fetch('/api/data/category', {
    method:'POST',
    headers:{'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
    body: JSON.stringify({
            Username:'admin username',
            Password: 'password',
            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,
				DoNotShowInOnlineJudging: false, //optional
				DoNotAllowTeams: false, //optional
				MaxTeamSize: 3, //optional, by default there is no limit to the size of a team
            }
        })
})
.then(response => response.json())
