Is there any way to filter??? Need to filter out all the trig points, they overrun the caches when the list loads.

I'll see if I can put a quick fix for trigs, while I add a more comprehensive filter

As GCA is the provider of data, what if we allowed a MyQuery to be collected via a json query based on your current location?
In the same way you can get a GPX or count or screen full of data, we could probably allow a MyQuery to output the json data.
e.g.
http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/json/ ... =9999,9999
We would need to allow for a special public query type otherwise the app would need to log them in. If you could just head to a link we could return the data (say 50 or 100 caches).

This would be great but would also need api to show current my query or have some hardcoded queries

What about a special MyQuery that the cacher creates.
e.g.
http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/json/ ... =9999,9999
That would then go and get the "GCA app" query (I think you can only have one if we can't have a queryid) for that user.
Values in the MyQuery like sort by and radius would be ignored in the results and return 50 caches.
i.e. One you have set up (and ticked the GCA app box), it's available for the GCA app to come and get. Ordered by location you would be able to set the various values as you can do now via a MyQuery so you can get caches on the fly, specific to your desires.
Do you gave UA string specific to your app?

Fantastic to see a situation where there is such great cooperation between the back end and the client developers.
Imagine what might be possible if things worked like this all the time.

The best thing?
It's in the public eye, so anyone can offer comments or suggestions to make it better before we code it up and make it the suxxors.

I am using the standard apache httpGet but I think I should be able to modify the UA to identify the request.

hmm the side affect of excluding the Trigs after the query is that it will effectively reduce the # of caches returned
The better solution would be allow the API to exclude but for now I will exclude it post query.

Yay, It works for me now!
I just had to insert a "+" between "Laighside" and "Legends"...
Now we just need some more GCA caches...
