I'm getting the following result from the API when an expired token is used. Here is the result. { "type":"api_notfound_error", "message":"https://[REDACTED].prismic.io/previews/[REDACTED]?websitePreviewId=[REDACTED] not found" } I've had an error handler that looks for "This preview token has…

HI Ben, I'm really sorry about how long it took to get this information for you. I suck. So I confirmed with Seb and Renaud. If any ref starts with https:// and is either expired or invalid you get this error. The API hasn't changed and this has been how expired ref have been returned as long as I…

Hey! The API hasn't changed and yes, this happens when the token expires. This can happen if the Prismic toolbar is not setup properly because its role is to update the preview token after a change has been made. Have you tried refreshing the page? Which technology are you using in your project a…

I'm using .NET. I maintain the kit for this so I am keen to know if the error type api_notfound_error is only returned for expired preview tokens, or if it would be returned for any badly configured API. I've seen this occur when a user closes the preview tab without exiting preview mode and the p…

I see, thanks for the information, I've asked the team. I'll get back to you as soon as I have an answer Thanks

Hello, I've discussed this with the team today and we've agreed to add it to the issue tracker. Also, if you would like to do a collaboration to make it quicker you can submit a PR to the kit and we'll review it as soon as we can. Thanks

@benembery I've reopened this for you now.

@benembery I'm just quoting you here to see if I can get more info for you. [image] On another topic I would be happy to help with PR but need confirmation that the API response is expected. Which api response are you describing?

The CSharp Kit sets the ref set based on the preview cookie, if the cookie is expired they the request throws an exception. This exception has changed. { "type":"api_security_error", "message":"This preview token has expired", "oauth_initiate":"https://[REDACTED].prismic.io/auth", "oauth_t…

@Phil you definitely do not suck. I appreciate your support, thanks for getting back to me, it wasn't super critical. I now have another little improvement I can make for people using prismic with .NET. :smiley:

Hi, I have suddenly a similar issue. One of my pages on the live server receives the error "This preview token has expired" when trying to fetch data. The same page on the dev server works fine though. In general, my website exists of pages that have no data from Prismic, pages that source some dat…

Hi Goppi, I just want to start off by saying that there are no fears of this being an issue for your customers as the preview cookie only exists in the local browser and is only generated for logged-in Prismic users. So there's no way a customer could encounter this error. The Prismic toolbar shou…
