Set the Product Category in GraphQL using the Taxonomy ID

[Fredydb]

I am currently setting the product category on productCreate using the category GID (ex. snowboard is: gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/sg-4-17-2-17). I would like to use the Shopify Taxonomy ID instead (5173 in this case). I can’t figure how to specify this in GraphQL. Any ideas? Here is the working mutation with the GID:

# GraphQL mutation for creating a product
mutation = '''
mutation CreateProduct($input: ProductInput!) {
  productCreate(input: $input) {
    product {
      id
      title
      vendor
      descriptionHtml
      productType
      tags
      category {
       id
      }
    }
    userErrors {
      field
      message
    }
  }
}
'''

# Variables for the mutation
variables = {
    "input": {
        "title": "Café Racer",
        "vendor": "Korua",
        "descriptionHtml": "A Fantastic Snowboard",
        "productType": "Snowboard",
        "tags": ["winter", "2025"],
        "category": "gid://shopify/TaxonomyCategory/sg-4-17-2-17"
    }
}

HI, there

Here is my graphql below

Thanks Eric. I can get it to work that way too (using taxonomy category)!
What I am trying to achieve is get it to work using the taxonomy ID instead.
Not sure if this method is supported anymore.
