Query unpublished (draft, archive) documents

Technologies REST API
#1

I'm synchronizing my content between Prismic and Algolia through a webhook. This content is localized, so I need to have separated indexes in Algolia (one for each locale). For better performances, I need to know which index to update when a document is published, archived or edited.
Each time the webhook is triggered, I get the list of updated documents (by IDs) but I don't get the list of edited locales, so I'm querying each document ID to get it's lang.

My problem is that when a document is not published, the API does not return it to me. Is there any parameter to request archived or draft documents?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

You can put the documents that you need to fetch in a release then you can get the locale of the documents.

Best,
Fares

Any updates on this? We are creating static pages and when a page is deleted we only get the id of the deleted page but cannot fetch it to get the slug and then delete the file with that slug on our static storage.

Any update on this? Currently there is no way to revalidate content that gets unpublished, since the webhook only returns the document id but there is no way to query the unpublished document.

Yes, it isn't possible to know which documents get unpublished. You'd need to use a workaround to see if the document exists in a release or not.
