Issue fetching data using JS API, resolved by making the development dataset public.

Hey there! I'm trying to fetch using the JS api, and nothing is returned in my app, but in the studio stuff is returned.
Code:

  const latestThreeProjects = await client.fetch(
    `*[_type == "project"] | order(_createdAt desc) [0...3]`
  );

// initialized with

import { createClient } from 'next-sanity'

import { apiVersion, dataset, projectId, useCdn } from '../env'

export const client = createClient({
  apiVersion,
  dataset,
  projectId,
  useCdn,
})
API version is 2023-05-25 but I have tried with 2021-10-21.

When I use the same query on the studio "Vision" tab, it works just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue could be here.

Thanks!

Hi
user G
. Is the dataset private? This could be related to authentication (Vision requests are authenticated via your session in the browser).

ohhh that's possible, how can I do it within the code?

It looks like the readme has a fair bit of detail, though not for private datasets. I haven’t used 
next-sanity
so I’m not too sure, but I’d start with the section on custom auth . The normal client can take a 
token
in its config; it looks like that may be the same here, with the onus on you to ensure the token remains out of your codebase.

Would it honestly just be easier to use a public dataset? Was only building on a development dataset.

Nevermind, just made the development dataset public, that made it work. Don't care if any data is shown there anyways haha.
