# List all categories with org and product counts

`GET /categories`

Categories are a fixed taxonomy (`CATEGORIES` in `@buildinternet/releases-core/categories`), so the response always includes every slug — including ones with zero members. `orgCount` and `productCount` are computed against `organizations_public` (excludes `on_demand` and soft-deleted orgs). `name` / `description` / `aliases` come from the optional `categories` metadata overlay; clients render their own fallback display name when no override is set.

## Response `200`
