First of all i know it is a theoretical question and it contains no code but actually this time i don't have code, i need your suggestion on this issue.

Question:

Is it possible to fetch the name of all categories from a wordpress.com blog or a self-hosted blog connected through jetpack?

I tried finding it here https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/ but no luck.

So please suggest.

I've been looking for the same thing. I don't think this feature is available yet (As of 24th May 2013) on jetpack but available on hosted blogs (see the link below).

    Thanks but it is same as we write our own function with the help of core wordpress function..definitely it can be an alternate solution but i was looking for any existing API functionality. – Peeyush May 24 '13 at 21:21

In case you are using JSON API plugin, you can use http://yourdomain.com/?json=get_category_index to get the list of all categories.

PS: You can use this JSON API plugin in place of jetpack api as it is hosted on your own blog with greater control.

This might help // print all the categories , You can modify this function to get what exactly you want

$categories = get_categories();
foreach($categories as $category) {
   echo '<a href="' . get_category_link($category->term_id) . '">' . $category->name . '</a>';
}

//I dont remember the source but it works for me
