Query ignores c:hide

    Hi guys. Trying to pull just the character_id of the killed person as well as the timestamp, but the query simply ignores c:hide when I try to parse out what I don't need.

    here's the query:
    Code:
    http://census.daybreakgames.com/get/ps2/character?name.first_lower=dubtr&c:show=character_id&c:join=characters_event^inject_at:events^terms:type=KILL^c:limit=1
    This query ALSO ignores c:hide:
    Code:
    http://census.daybreakgames.com/get/ps2:v2/characters_event/?character_id=5428139972581334849&type=KILL&c:limit=1&c:hide=character_loadout_id
    I'm at a loss... any suggestions?

    From the documentation, characters_event ignores all c: commands except c:limit, c:join, and c:tree the same as event. So if you join it to something else, you will get every column from characters_event.

    Essentially, it cant be done from a pure API call perspective. Can you do anything in your application layer to only utilize the data you need?

    Yea, I've done the parsing manually in my application, but I figured it would be less taxing on the server if I only had it return what I need, instead of extra unused data.
