Troubleshooting a POST GROQ request using JS Client in Next.js

7 replies
Last updated: May 16, 2021
Hey,
Any pointers on how to send a POST GROQ request using the JS Client? My query is too big…

I’m just getting this error from Next: FetchError: invalid json response body at https://sanity.io/v2021-03-25/data/query/production?query <bigquery>

Really struggling with this 😞

Would you be willing to post your query in its context in Next—including a query that's formed like yours? (The specifics of the query can be changed but it would help diagnose the problem to see something like what you're sending.)
You may also want to curl your query to make sure the error is with the query itself and not your code.
