Is there a way to get record id of Categories in Zoho expense

Hi Team,

Recently I have came up with a simple request to get the record of category module records.

But I couldn't get that , because these records are shown in popup window, I couldn't get the id from url.


I had to do an API call in avery lengthy way to get the record id.

Is there any easy way let me know if I am missing something.
