@tluanga
You can easily add the hot category from the admin backend.
Just go this route velocity->meta data->Home Page Content and add the below line of code @include('shop::home.hot-categories', ['category' => ['category_slug1', 'category_slug2', 'category_Slug3', 'category_slug4']])

@devansh-webkul If I want to add is_hot attribute to category and filter by it in api area.
What is the best approach to do that?

Hi @AN-Varit,

• No need to do any code. Just go to Catalog > Attribute in the admin panel.

• And create an attribute with the name is_hot and type boolean and add all the necessary settings like the table in product_flat and in layered_navigation.

• Now assigned that attribute to attribute family.

• Then check, if still not coming then you can slightly add one check for is_hot because rest of the things is already done for you.

@devansh-webkul Thanks for replying, but I want to filter category itself not its products

Then, in this case, you need to customize this as per your need.
