How this endpoint behaves

This endpoint takes no parameters.

Notable response behavior:

Each category has a numeric id, a slug (the value reelshort-fandom-posts accepts as category), a name, a description, the number of posts and a url.
There are five categories at the time of writing: general-topic, movie-cast-list, top-movie-stories, where-to-watch and where-to-watch-2. The list is read live so it follows any category ReelShort adds; reelshort-fandom-posts validates against the five above.

Example response (long values and lists shortened):
