How this endpoint behaves

With no parameter, the response has categories: each category's slug and name.
With category (a slug from that list, for example pokemon-cards), the response has consoles: the sets or consoles of that category, with the slug that pricecharting-console takes. The most popular sets come first. An unknown category returns 404.
