Re: GetHides() - how to access log data

Hi everyone,
I am looking at PGC.GetHides().
When I set includeLogs to true, I notice that GetHides() returns multiple lines per cache (because of multiple logs, I guess) but I do not see a way to access the log data mentioned in the documentation of GetHides().

Code snippet:

fieldsHides = {
  'gccode',
  'cache_id',
  'cache_name',
  'favorite_points'
}
hides = PGC.GetHides(profileId, {includeLogs = true, fields = fieldsHides})
PGC.print(hides)

returns

Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [cache_name] => LEg GOdt JaNeMaSt
            [cache_id] => 2806636
            [favorite_points] => 21
            [premium] => 0
            [latitude] => 47.313417
            [longitude] => 8.100000
            [gccode] => GC3F0AJ
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [cache_name] => LEg GOdt JaNeMaSt
            [cache_id] => 2806636
            [favorite_points] => 21
            [premium] => 0
            [latitude] => 47.313417
            [longitude] => 8.100000
            [gccode] => GC3F0AJ
        )

...

Does anybody know how to access the log data per cache?
Thank you for reading this post.

There's no "includeLogs" parameter for GetFinds. Not sure what you're trying to do - but unless you're writing a legacy checker, you can't base a checker on log content anyhow. I haven't ever even seen a challenge that requires you to log other caches in a certain way, because, that would be very easy to manipulate.

Thank you for your reply, bmuzzin.

You are right, there is no parameter "includeLogs" for GetFinds, but I was looking at GetHides():
PGC.GetHides()

What I wanted to do is build a checker for the May "Wheel of Challenges" challenge that displays the geocacher's progress. As I just realize the leaderboard provides what I wanted to achieve. So my post is obsolete.
Still odd that the documented log data seems not to be accessible.

Duh reading, sorry about that.

Although, the original reasoning holds. Probably nobody's ever used it, because, it's hard to imagine a challenge that is somehow dependent on logs on your hides.

I'm trying to build a checker tool that shows caches you didn't archive yourself (by reviewer action), and also don't find a way to access log data (would need the profileId of the last_archived_by log).
