### Response

`application/json`, passed through from Etsy’s `/v3/application/shops/{shop_id}/sections/{section_id}` verbatim. The field-by-field data model is in the [v2 preview reference](https://eto.tools/eto-dev-api-v2/), which documents these same routes alongside the whole Etsy schema.

### Errors

Failures answer with the shared error body described in the Errors section: `{"error": {"code", "status", "message", "hint", "docs"}}`. Branch on `code`, not on the message.

This endpoint can additionally return `STORE_NOT_CONNECTED` (403) when the shop is not linked to your account, and `STORE_TOKEN_EXPIRED` (503) when its Etsy authorisation has lapsed and needs reconnecting.
