Hey guys pretty new to sanity and well web dev in general so I appreciate all the help. I came across this error recently , "Block at index 0 is missing required _key" when trying to push content. I am hoping someone has come across this error before and what to do to fix it.

Got it. Thanks for the information! Blocks do need a
If you you pass your block through the
_key, but we have a tool that can help here 🙂.
If you you pass your block through the
normalizeBlockfunction from Sanity Block Tools, a
_keywill automatically be added to it. That should solve your problem. Let me know how it goes!

I am still getting the same error 😅

Hmm. Just to double check, are you certain that's the data you're sending to the API?
I added that exact data to a Portable Text field, and it seems to work for me
🙂.
