Endpoint Playground
Returns Slickdeals' own full legacy sub-forum list (e.g. Hot Deals, Coupons, Freebies) -- the discovery endpoint for GET /slickdeals/search's forum_id parameter. A separate, coarser-grained taxonomy from GET /slickdeals/categories' 421-entry tag list: this is the classification GET /slickdeals/deal, /slickdeals/search/advanced, and /slickdeals/frontpage already surface as forum_id, with this endpoint as the way to resolve an id to a name or filter search results by it. The list is refreshed from Slickdeals' own site periodically; an optional q parameter narrows it to a substring match on name.
