How to get short version of Eloqua Contact ID from API

in Eloqua 1 comment

Summary:

Am setting up an export definition for a segment, but can only find the full-length Eloqua Contact ID field.

Content:

When setting up an export definition, I reference the field ElqContactIDExt which returns the full length Eloqua Contact ID, eg:

CAAAA000000442581

The problem is that only the numbers at the end are valid when referencing a contact, eg:

/api/rest/2.0/data/contact/CAAAA000000442581 - Fail

/api/rest/2.0/data/contact/442581 - Success

/salesTools/profiler/contact/CAAAA000000442581 - Fail
/salesTools/profiler/contact/442581 - Success

Is there a field that contains this short version of the Eloqua Contact ID, or is the expectation that we have to strip out the leading characters / zeros on every Contact ID after retrieving from Eloqua?
