Get Whatnot's category list

Returns Whatnot's full top-level category list (e.g. "Trading Card Games", "Sneakers & Streetwear"). Each entry's slug is usable directly with /whatnot/browse's category filter.

Response behavior

- Each entry's `slug` is the value to pass as [`/whatnot/browse`](whatnot-browse.md)'s `category` query parameter. - This list changes rarely; results are fetched live on every call, not cached client-side.

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