# List every Slickdeals deal category/tag

`GET /slickdeals/categories`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/slickdeals/categories`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

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.
