Kick Subcategory API Documentation

GET https://scrappa.co/api/kick/v1/subcategories/{subcategory_slug}?subcategory_slug=just-chatting

Retrieve one subcategory with its tags, banner, viewer count, and parent category. Always answered by the detail endpoint: the taxonomy cache holds only the thin short row, so a known subcategory is still one upstream call and is billed as one.
