Notion API returns initial database entries correctly, yet fails to fetch new records added by guest users. Could permission limitations be affecting data visibility?
I have experienced a similar behavior where the API returned existing entries without any issues but omitted records added by external contributors. This was surprising until I dug deeper into the permissions settings for guest users. It turned out that the visibility of new records was influenced by user privileges and how the data was shared. I found that adjusting the permission settings and verifying that each guest record was properly linked to the database helped resolve the issue. It seems crucial to ensure that all user accounts have the proper access rights for the latest entries to appear through the API.
Based on my experience, the issue likely stems from the way Notion handles permissions for guest entries. I noticed that when guests contribute new records, those records sometimes don’t become immediately available through the API because of restricted access rights. Ensuring that guest contributions are fully integrated into the shared database often involves verifying that the permission structure automatically updates for new entries. A thorough review of permission settings and share configurations can often resolve these inconsistencies.
I encountered this issue in one of my projects where new entries created by guest users weren’t immediately visible via the API. It appears that the delay in syncing permissions for guest-submitted records is a known factor. I found that ensuring the database enforces a proper link and waiting a bit longer usually mitigates the issue. Consolidating the permissions and confirming that the guest entries have been fully integrated with the main database helped me better manage the API output so that no new records were inadvertently missed.
In my experience, the API often behaves inconsistently when guest entries originate from added users who have limited integration. I noticed that the issue is mitigated by thoroughly reviewing the database configuration and ensuring that guest entries are correctly tied to the main content. It proved beneficial to audit the access settings and update any discrepancies in the connection setup between guest contributions and the main workspace. This review process usually helps in exposing inconsistencies that block the API from retrieving some new records.
had the same issue. found out that sometimes the sync doesnt trigger for guest posts so the data stays hidden until you tweak the integration settings. try giving it a minute or recheck how the permission propagation is set.
