I tried fetching my posts from sanity but got this error, Pls how do i fix it
I'd be happy to help you fix the error! Since you didn't include the specific error message, I'll cover the most common issues when fetching posts from Sanity and how to fix them:
Most Common Fetch Errors
1. Missing or Incorrect Project Configuration
The most frequent issue is missing projectId or dataset in your client configuration. Make sure you've set up your Sanity client correctly:
import { createClient } from '@sanity/client'
const client = createClient({
projectId: 'your-project-id', // Find this in sanity.json or manage.sanity.io
dataset: 'production', // or your dataset name
apiVersion: '2024-01-01', // Use current date or a specific API version
useCdn: true, // Set to false if you need fresh data
})2. CORS Errors
If you see a CORS error in the browser console, you need to add your domain to the allowed origins:
- Go to manage.sanity.io
- Select your project
- Go to Settings β API
- Add your localhost (like
http://localhost:3000) or production domain to CORS origins
3. Authentication Issues
If you're trying to fetch draft content or private data, you need a token:
const client = createClient({
projectId: 'your-project-id',
dataset: 'production',
apiVersion: '2024-01-01',
token: 'your-token', // Only needed for authenticated requests
useCdn: false, // Don't use CDN when using token
})4. GROQ Query Syntax Errors
Double-check your GROQ query syntax. A common mistake:
// β Wrong
const posts = await client.fetch(`*[_type == post]`)
// β
Correct (quotes around the type)
const posts = await client.fetch(`*[_type == "post"]`)5. Missing API Version
As of recent Sanity updates, the apiVersion is required. Always include it in your client configuration.
6. Network/URL Encoding Issues
If you're making direct HTTP requests to the Query API, remember that special characters need proper encoding. For example, && in GROQ queries should be encoded as %26%26 in URLs.
Quick Debugging Steps
- Check your browser console or terminal for the exact error message
- Verify your
projectIdanddatasetare correct - Ensure you've installed the client:
npm install @sanity/client - Check CORS settings if it's a browser error
- Test your query in the Vision plugin in Sanity Studio first
If you share the specific error message you're seeing, I can give you a more targeted solution!
