    Hi ckilpatrick,

The soft deletion was not implemented for ideas via the APIs, and so thus ideas will be fully deleted when using the APIs regardless of the hardDelete parameter. I've gone ahead and filed a bug (LJX-474) on our end to try and get this fixed in a future release. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!
