Hi,  
I am trying to create a block in the sidebar blocks plugin that list categories. I am trying to generate the URL for each category that a user has access to but I can’t find what route returns the JSON file with the name of the category. How can I find get the name of categories?

Thank you.

The categories are all defined in the central [`site.json`](https://meta.discourse.org/site.json) 🙂
