How this endpoint behaves
Returns the full PEOPLE section/category navigation inventory: every slug
accepted by people-headlines's section parameter,
each with a display name and its public listing URL. The taxonomy is
PEOPLE's own two-level header navigation (top-level items such as
entertainment, crime, human-interest, lifestyle, royals, health,
and shopping, plus their dropdown sub-items such as celebrity, movies,
crime-news, beauty-style, and shopping-home). 37 entries confirmed live
2026-09-24; use this endpoint to discover the current, full, live-verified
set rather than reading it off the site by hand.
