Authentication NONE (PUBLIC)

API Group C2C / Ads

Method GET

Response JSON

Overview

This endpoint returns the list of available C2C (P2P) advertisement categories supported by Binance. It is used by merchant platforms, C2C trading bots, and mobile client applications to dynamically determine which ad categories can be listed or queried.

Because this operation does not require cryptographic signatures, it operates as a lightweight public check. Required contextual information (such as clientType) must be passed in the HTTP request headers.

Request Parameters

Header parameters accepted by the endpoint.

Header	Type	Required	Description
`clientType`	STRING	Required	Client Device Type initiating the request (e.g., `WEB`, `APP`, `WEB_MOBILE`).
`x-gray-env`	STRING	Optional	Environment flag identifier used for internal gray/stage testing.
`x-trace-id`	STRING	Optional	Custom client trace ID for request lifecycle tracking and debugging.
`x-user-id`	STRING	Optional	Target user identifier if querying user-specific category access permissions.

Pass Parameters in Request Headers

Unlike standard query endpoints, the mandatory clientType parameter must be placed inside the HTTP Headers of the request rather than the URL query string.

Request Example

Example request using cURL with HTTP headers.

cURL BASH

curl -X GET \
'https://api.binance.com/sapi/v1/c2c/ads/getAvailableAdsCategory' \
-H 'clientType: WEB'
