rragan Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 In Live mode, with Exclude Archived off and within a hundred feet of an archived cache, it is not found. If I enter the GC code it is shown as archived. Either something is broken or, as I suspect the search API will not return archived caches. I wish it would though.

hidegoseek Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Just last night I wanted to make a list of archived caches by a specific CO, but the geocaching online search returned zero caches. However, I used Project-gc to create a list of 44 archived caches without any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yep, I too find them via ProjecfGc. I was just hoping there was a way through the API. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 The API seems to sometimes return archived and sometimes not. I think it is an internal bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 So does that mean there is a search filter on the API for archived? Is there a link to see the API description or is that a secret you get when they issue you a key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the GC code that is archived you are trying to return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
