#' Get possible data categories for a particular datasetid, locationid,
#' stationid, etc.
#'
#' Data Categories represent groupings of data types.

#' @export

#' @template token
#' @return A `data.frame` for all datasets, or a list of length two,
#' each with a data.frame.
#' @details Note that calls with both startdate and enddate don't seem to
#' work, though specifying one or the other mostly works.
