Hi, could someone explain to me how to retrieve a linked document in my case? I have a custom type: "home-page". My "home-page" has 2 slices "carousel" and "available\_offers". "available\_offers" is linked to another document ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/0/08270bb5b77ee3d3cb03d9911e814c1646d6d7dc.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/9/9d7ea4e8da5d4c8236d7add7892985be776bf537.png) Current query: ```auto const graphQuery = `{ home-page { ...home-pageFields } }`; const res = await client.getSingle('home-page', { lang: appLocale, graphQuery }); ``` I get a response but it's missing linked document data. Current response: ```auto {"page":1,"results_per_page":1,"results_size":1,"total_results_size":1,"total_pages":1,"next_page":null,"prev_page":null,"results":[{"id":"YWanmxIAACsA3yX8","uid":"home-page","url":"/","type":"home-page","href":"https://ocb-base-local.cdn.prismic.io/api/v2/documents/search?ref=YXawVhIAACkAZecx&integrationFieldsRef=ocb-base-local%7E5effe007-9cd7-4e66-bbd6-58f1c0c4e47c&q=%5B%5B%3Ad+%3D+at%28document.id%2C+%22YWanmxIAACsA3yX8%22%29+%5D%5D","tags":[],"first_publication_date":"2021-10-13T09:32:15+0000","last_publication_date":"2021-10-25T13:25:42+0000","slugs":["home-page"],"linked_documents":[],"lang":"en-gb","alternate_languages":[],"data":{"slices":[{"slice_type":"carousel","slice_label":null,"version":"sktwi1xtmkfgx8626","variation":"default-slice","primary":{"arrowColor":"primary.main","dotColor":"primary.main"},"items":[{"title":[],"description":[],"textColor":"light.main","background":{"dimensions":{"width":1920,"height":1280},"alt":null,"copyright":null,"url":"https://images.prismic.io/ocb-base-local/2295dffc-65a3-4164-b496-3947db9892c2_meeting-1245776_1920.jpg?auto=compress,format"},"backgroundColor":"dark.main","ctaTextColor":"light.main","ctaBackgroundColor":"primary","ctaTextLink":[],"slideVariation":"full-width","imageFit":"cover"}]},{"slice_type":"available_offers","slice_label":null,"version":"sktwi1xtmkfgx8626","variation":"default-slice","primary":{"offers":{"id":"YXatGBIAACoAZddj","type":"offers","tags":[],"slug":"available-offers","lang":"en-gb","first_publication_date":"2021-10-25T13:11:57+0000","last_publication_date":"2021-10-25T13:11:57+0000","link_type":"Document","isBroken":false}},"items":[{}]}]}}],"version":"31acd9d","license":"All Rights Reserved"} ``` I imagine my GraphQuery should be something like this: ```auto const graphQuery = `{ home-page { ...home-pageFields ...on available_offers { non-repeat { ...non-repeatFields } repeat { ...repeatFields } } } }`; ``` But that doesn't work. Not sure how to achieve this... ---

Hello @tomasvit6 Welcome to the Prismic community, and thanks for reaching out to us. You have to specify the Content Relationship field to retrieve any content from the linked documents. The Content Relationship field won’t provide any content from the linked document unless you specify. Here is the [documentation for this](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/graphquery-rest-api#retrieve-a-single-field-from-a-linked-document). I believe in your case, your GraphQuery should be like this if your repeatable zone of the Slice has a content relationship: ```auto const graphQuery = `{ home-page { ...home-pageFields ...on available_offers { non-repeat { ...non-repeatFields } repeat { ...repeatFields name_of_content_relationship_field { ... on linked_doc_type { ...linked_doc_type_Fields } } } } }`; ``` You can change if you have a Content Relationship field in the non-repeatable zone. Give this a try, and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks Priyanka ---

Thanks for your reply Priyanka. Unfortunately, that didn't help. I get an odd error: ```auto {"type":"api_validation_error","message":"Unable to parse fetch query Invalid fetch parsing Exception.\n\nInvalid input ' ', expected AlphaNum, AlphaChar, '_', '-' or test (line 4, column 12):\n ...on available_offers {\n ^\n\n5 rules mismatched at error location:\n ...racketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-36 /Relation/ |:-5 /Fragment/ /FragmentName/ /Key/ capture:-2 / +:-2 / | / AlphaNum:\n ...acketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-36 /Relation/ |:-5 /Fragment/ /FragmentName/ /Key/ capture:-2 / +:-2 / | / AlphaChar:\n ...onfun/ +:-52 /Doc/ /bracketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-36 /Relation/ |:-5 /Fragment/ /FragmentName/ /Key/ capture:-2 / +:-2 / | / '_'\n ...onfun/ +:-52 /Doc/ /bracketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-36 /Relation/ |:-5 /Fragment/ /FragmentName/ /Key/ capture:-2 / +:-2 / | / '-'\n .../ /bracketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-52 /Doc/ /bracketed/ /$anonfun/ +:-36 /Relation/ |:-5 /Fragment/ /FragmentName/ / test\n"} ``` Current implementation: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/b/b127e8b8733839696948c607b20a8682cececb6b.png) ---

Hello @tomasvit6 I think we are very close to solving it. By default, the Slices of your documents are found in the body section of the response object. Trying to modify your query with this: ```auto const graphQuery = `{ home-page { ...home-pageFields body { ...on available_offers { non-repeat { ...non-repeatFields name_of_content_relationship_field { ... on linked_doc_type { ...linked_doc_type_Fields } } } repeat { ...repeatFields } } } } }`; ``` Let me know if it still doesn't solve your issue. Thanks, Priyanka ---

That just gives me: ```auto { "type": "api_validation_error", "message": "Unable to parse fetch query Invalid fetch parsing Exception.\n\nUnable to find body in home-page" } ``` ---

I have checked your repository. This issue is related to as GraphQuery doesn't work with Slice Machine slices, and this is already a known issue. This issue is already in our issue tracker, and I will update you when I get any updates from the product team. ---

Is it possible to do the same with `fetchLinks`? I really don't want to call 2endpoints and then map them to achieve this. 😕 ---

Hello @tomasvit6 I understood your point, but It is not possible to retrieve the field in a Slice. My team will indeed look into the issue ASAP. I will update you when I get any updates from the team. Thanks Priyanka ---

Hello @dinhhuy.trinh Our Slice Machine team has fixed that issue. Now you can retrieve linked documents data with GraphQuery. Are you still getting any issues? If so, Could you give me more details about what do you want to achieve? Thanks, Priyanka ---

Hi, I have a feature-blog-slice on my home page where editors can pick which blog they would like to display. In the feature-blog-slice, I have a "Content Relationship" linking to the blog type. I want to query all the blogs for the feature-blog-slice then display it on the home page. I am using prismic client v6 ```auto const graphQuery = `{ home-page { ...home-pageFields ...on feature-blog-slice { repeat { ...repeatFields } } } }`; client.getSingle("home-page", { ref, graphQuery}) ``` The query looks the same as the OP's one. I got the same error ```auto {"type":"api_validation_error","message":"Unable to parse fetch query Invalid fetch parsing Exception.\n\nInvalid input ' ``` How does graphQuery work with prismic client? In my case, should I use client.getSingle or what? I cannot find any example from the documentation. ---

Hello @dinhhuy.trinh You have to specify the API ID of the Content Relationship field to retrieve content from the linked documents. Learn more about [how to retrieve fields from linked documents](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/graphquery-rest-api#retrieve-fields-from-a-linked-document). If it still doesn't solve your issue, I need your repo name to debug it. Thanks, Priyanka ---

We have released a new version of the GraphQuery document. Now it has support for Slice Machine. > **[GraphQuery API Option Technical Reference](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/graphquery-rest-api)** > > This shows how to use the Prismic GraphQuery query option to retrieve certain fields and retrieve content from linked documents. Please let us know if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. Cheers!
