Hello, I have a question. I try to unlist a topic from a category using the API.

When I try to call this request:

```
{{base_url}}/t/my-super-topic/12/status?api_key={{api_key}}&api_username={{api_username}}

```

using a PUT request with the following form-data params:

```
status: visible, enabled: false

```

I got a 400 - Bad request error.

This is exactly the same request applied when I unlist the topic via the web interface.  
Is there any issue with the API call ?

Thanks !
