hey all, I'm running into a really odd issue. I have documents being created via the
HTTP API
, but when I go to query these documents on the front-end of my app, it's not returning any results. My dataset is public, I used a token when creating the documents, but I'm not using a token on the front-end (for security purposes). The moment I add a token to my front-end sanity client, it works fine. Is there some kind of limitation where documents created with tokens are somehow private?
I'm able to retrieve other documents on my front-end that were manually created through the studio and NOT through the
HTTP API
, so I'm super confused here.

You might have stumbled into https://www.sanity.io/docs/ids ? are you generating the id on those docs yourself?
Oct 28, 2020, 10:47 PM
yup I am creating the ids myself!

I think I'm seeing the issue...

I'm doing this structure for ID's:

product.xxxxxx

sounds like that last
gotcha
about "fixed access control" is the issue I'm experiencing?
Oct 28, 2020, 10:49 PM
What kind of alternatives do I have? Is it better to just avoid using the

here (I don't really need the grouping, was just trying to ensure the IDs here were sure to be different since the
xxxx
is coming from a 3rd-party)
Oct 28, 2020, 10:50 PM
yup!
Oct 28, 2020, 10:50 PM
so maybe just doing
productxxxxxxx
instead?
Oct 28, 2020, 10:51 PM
use a
 maybe?
Oct 28, 2020, 10:51 PM
product-xxx
Oct 28, 2020, 10:51 PM

Oct 28, 2020, 10:51 PM
