BUG Api not passing categories

[phuqwit]

I have sabnzbd+ fetching an RSS feed from nzbyhdra2 version 3.14
(This past few weeks the number of downloads have tailed off so this might have been something prior to 3.14)
I fetch the url:
http://server-ip:5076/api?apikey=??&cat=7000&limit=500&t=search&offset=0
The results that come back show:

--
https://nzbfinder.ws/details/...
...
newznab:attr name="category" value="5020"
...
So the category isn't getting passed. The logs confirm this...

It looks like for some reason the line is not properly printed to the log file. Interesting...

I just added &cat=7000,7010 to the url string. That appears to return a bunch of 7010 categories but no other 70X0 categories. Odd.
In which case...
Received external newznab API call: NewznabParameters{t=SEARCH, cat=[7000, 7010], offset=0, limit=500, raw=false, o=XML, attrs=[], extended=false, indexers=[]}
but..

I can reproduce the problem.

The option to transform newznab categories is enabled. That means the category used in the request (7000)s is mapped to a hydra category. You don't have any categories matching that so it's mapped to "All" which doesnt't have a specific newznab category.

I'll change the code so that in these cases the newznab category provided in the search request is used.

Disabled the transform newznab categories option and we're back in business. Thanks
