Hello.  I get a similar response.  If I request 'https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key=1234&category_id=69160309' - the jewelry category, I get the same response as if I did not specify a category at all.  Please help.

Hi.  I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding you, and I probably am not understanding the proper way to request all listings in a category, but the specific request I tried is exactly as I posted earlier, with of course, my actual api key being replaced with 1234.  I put this in my browser for testing purposes and I get the same information as I get by leaving off the category parameter at the end of the request.  I know from the api instructions that leaving off the category parameter is giving all the most current etsy listings, so I thought by adding the category parameter at the end I should get all the most current listings in that category, but I again get only the most current listings in all categories.
