You can get details about all categories, including subcategories, by making a request to `/site.json`. > [@Gaurav\_Sardana](#): > > One more thing - color and text color of a subcategory will be same as parent category ? The badge color for a subcategory is set by you when you create the subcategory. For subcategories, the parent badge color is displayed along with the subcategory color. For example: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/6/d654439b996d9351859d539a99b192cde890b6bf.png) or ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/1/d106f0a38081414d0e47883d355446dc09f9b85a.png) The first color is the parent category badge color, the second color is for the subcategory.
