# Get category detail with member orgs and products

`GET https://api.releases.sh/v1/categories/{slug}`

Returns orgs and products whose `category` matches the canonical slug. Aliases redirect: a non-canonical slug that matches an alias in the `categories` overlay returns a `301 Moved Permanently` to the canonical URL. Unknown slugs (neither canonical nor aliased) return `404`.

**Auth:** optional Bearer token.

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `slug` | path | string | yes |  |

**Responses**

- `200` Category detail with org and product rollups
- `301` Slug is an alias; redirects to the canonical category URL
- `404` Slug is neither canonical nor a known alias
