Have you tried appening clshow=!hidden as shown under prop=categories (cl)
* ?
I have used it in the past for a different query.
Thanks

I'm querying the API to get the categories and
subcategories for a page,
and I'd like to be able to exclude hidden categories and administration
categories from the result. The queries that I currently use look like
this:****

Category Pages:****
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Category:$catname…
****
** **
Non-Category Pages:****
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=$pagename&prop=…

where $catname and $pagename are replaced by the page titles. Is there a
way to either exclude categories that are hidden categories, or that are
subcategories of the "Category:Hidden categories" category?****
