Adds a publishing category to the network's list, the one sites and placements are classified with.

Reference

POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/categories/publishing/create.do

Adds a publishing category to the network's list, the one sites and placements are classified with. 'name' is required and must not be taken by another publishing category; 'type' defaults to PUBLIC. Invalid values come back per field in 'errors'. The answer is the stored category, in the shape the single-category read returns. Requires the PUBLISHER_CATEGORIES_MANAGEMENT admin permission (Admin -> Inventory Categories).
