GET /slickdeals/categories

List every Slickdeals deal category/tag

Returns Slickdeals' own full category/tag list -- the discovery endpoint for GET /slickdeals/category's slug parameter. This is a separate taxonomy from the category/sub_category fields GET /slickdeals/deal returns for an individual deal (Slickdeals maintains multiple parallel category/tag id spaces, not one) -- these slugs are the ones GET /slickdeals/category's own browse pages accept. The list is refreshed from Slickdeals' own site periodically; an optional q parameter narrows it to a substring match.

API key required. Paste a full key or rotate one from the API Keys page.
