Currencies intermittently missing from character data

When hitting the character summary endpoint, e.g. http://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny/TigerPSN/Account/4611686018429149347/Summary/ , the inventory.currencies is not always populated. I think this is a very recent issue, because I just started seeing it today.

    Ack, I apologize for not giving this group a heads up first. There was a late breaking issue - indeed, as you all predicted, security related - that required us to start hiding player currencies if you're not examining your own character/account. We made the fix and hotfixed it this morning, and I neglected to give the API group here a heads up. My apologies for the sudden loss of data. There is ongoing discussion in regards to the possibility of opt-in "public inventory" - when that is implemented, it will apply to the currencies field as well, and you'll start getting this information again when users have opted into allowing their inventory to be public. You will most likely *not* get Silver even in this situation however.

    • I believe they are gone permanently from the public endpoint. The reasoning behind it is probably "security" as this information doesn't seem publicly available online(logged in as another user) or in-game while inspecting said user. Things removed from the API for "security" are to prevent you from getting more data than you can get from any other source.
