Wendys API endpoint
Returns every category on Wendy's national (restaurant-agnostic) menu, grouped by which of Wendy's own top-level day-parts (Lunch/Dinner, Breakfast) it appears under -- a few categories such as Coffee and Beverages appear under both. No restaurant selection is required; this is the same catalog a signed-out visitor sees before ever picking a location. Each category's slug is what GET /wendys/menu takes.
/wendys/categoriesTakes no query parameters.
Response includes categories[], count, source_url, and fetched_at. Each category has id, name, slug, dayparts[], image_url, and url. A few categories (Coffee, Beverages, Give Something Back, Bakery) appear under both Lunch/Dinner and Breakfast and list both in dayparts.
Each category's slug is what /api/v1/wendys/menu takes.
