Issue with GROQ-powered webhook and missing authentication token in API call

7 replies
Last updated: Aug 10, 2023
I have created a GROQ-powered webhook, but when I publish a document to trigger it I get the error: 
"hookId":"LBazGCoTp3zcMIp","isFailure":true,"failureReason":"other","resultCode":403,"resultBody":"{\"message\":\"Missing Authentication Token\"}"}
. Is this related to the API tokens on Sanity? It only happens on the production dataset.

Looks like you will need to pass in the API token in the API call :
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ${token}'
Can you check to see if you are doing so correctly?

I am not. What kind of token do I have to create?

I would recommend taking a look at this doc and follow the guidance there on how to get the token.

Thanks, I’ll try this. I’m confused why an auth token is only required when dealing with a production dataset (staging and dev didn’t require one). Do you know where I can see the settings for this?

Ah, I see it’s related to the dataset visibility.

Are you able to make the request work now with a token?

yes, it works as expected, thanks.
