I want to retrieve from Mediawiki the list of recent changes in a certain category. I am trying to use the recentchanges API; I would either need to be able to limit the results to that category, or for each recentchanges entry get the list of categories that page is in.

I tried to rewrite your question into something easier to understand. I hope this is what you meant. – Tgr Feb 17 '17 at 22:53

What was wrong with my question? Now I read yours and it comes to me more difficult to understand. – Velaro Feb 20 '17 at 15:42

There is no way to get the list of changes in a specific category. To get the categories of each page, use the recentchanges
API module as a generator: action=query&generator=recentchanges&prop=categories
