Monday.api() function call doesn't return the same information as the playground

When I use monday.api() from the node module “monday-sdk-js” with the query

query {
    items (ids: [3298111887,4254562863,3286311905]) {
            name
    }
}

then I get only two items back:

"data": {
      "items": [
        {
          "name": "task #3"
        },
        {
          "name": "Ads"
        }
      ]
    },
    "account_id": 13449709
  }

When I do the same with GraphQL playground then I get all three:

{
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "name": "task #3"
      },
      {
        "name": "Item 3"
      },
      {
        "name": "Ads"
      }
    ]
  },
  "account_id": 13449709
}

The items are on different boards. One of them is shared

And the shared one doesn’t appear. What could be the reason?

hi @Lafisrap

One of the few things I can think of is that it could be permission related. The Playground runs under the credentials of the logged in user. The credentials of the app that holds the monday.api call depends on the token you use. Is this a view app or an integration?

It’s an app with an Item view feature. We call the api from the backend with the token, that we obtain from the oauth process.

Thanks for your hint. We found the issue. It was a missing ‘workspace-read’ scope. Not sure why though, but now we get the board.
