Hi Peter,
To get the child categories for a given category, you'd need to make
calls to the single category API (http://groups.google.com/group/ howcast-developers/web/list-videos-api).
So if you wanted to comb through the entire taxonomy, you'd:
2. Call the single category API for each category. E.g. call
http://www.howcast.com/categories/1.xml?api_key=... for Arts & Media.
The response includes the child/subcategories for the given category.
Please let us know if this answers your question.
Thanks,
- Russ

Thank you. Must have missed that API call. Sorry. Works perfectly.
Sincerely,
