Help needed with Notion API issue

I’m a beginner working with Notion’s API. I’ve set up a server.js file to add rows to a Notion database. It was fine yesterday but now I’m stuck.

I wanted to save data even if users leave the page. After fixing some validation stuff I got this error:

{
  object: 'error',
  status: 400,
  code: 'validation_error',
  message: 'Unsaved transactions: Unrecognized error.'
}

I tried going back to the old version that worked. I used git stash to undo changes then rebuilt and restarted everything. But the error’s still there.

Any ideas what’s going on? How can I fix this? Thanks for any help!

I’ve encountered this ‘Unsaved transactions’ error before, and it can be quite frustrating. One possible cause is a conflict between your local state and the server’s state. Try implementing a synchronization mechanism to ensure your local changes are properly synced with Notion’s servers. Additionally, check if you’re hitting any rate limits or if there are any network issues affecting your API calls. It might also be worth reviewing your transaction handling logic to ensure you’re properly committing or rolling back changes. If the problem persists, you may need to reach out to Notion’s developer support for more in-depth troubleshooting.

yo, ethan! that error sucks. tried clearing ur browser cache? sometimes notion gets funky. also, double-check ur api key n database ID; they mightve changed or expired. if that fails, hit up support; they can dig deeper. good luck man!

I had a similar experience with the Notion API and found that the error was usually linked to timing issues or a mismatch in the transaction state. In my case, I started by verifying the API key and database ID, making sure that they were still valid. I then implemented a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to counter temporary API issues. I also simplified my API calls, which helped rule out issues related to rate limits. Checking Notion’s status page for potential outages is also a good step. If none of these approaches work, contacting Notion support could be the next logical step.
