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?

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)

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
