Portal category buckets

List publisher-assigned categories for a portal. Socrata does not expose a dedicated categories endpoint, so Sugra derives this from Discovery facet counts (facets.categories) across all datasets on the portal. Useful for populating category dropdowns in client UIs.

get/api/v1/socrata/{portal}/categories

Path parameters

portalstring required

Portal slug (e.g. nyc).

Response

Category buckets with dataset counts, derived from Discovery facets.
