Your approach adds the input field value only once when the dropdown is initiated.
Instead use a placeholder for the type parameter and change that before the api is sending to the backend.

.dropdown({
	apiSettings: {
		url: '/get_category.php?type={type}',
		beforeSend: function(settings) {
		  settings.urlData = {
			type: $('input[name="filter_id"]').val()
		  };
		  return settings;
		},
		cache: false
	}
});
