Hello there @wnm,

You can use a query like this one to get the “object ID” of the doc:

{
  items(ids: 1234567890) {
    column_values(ids: "monday_doc__1") {
      value
    }
  }
}

Then you can use that ID in a new query to get the content of the doc:

{
  docs(object_ids: [1112223334]) {
    blocks {
      content
      type
    }
  }
}

As of today, the general “docs” query will only get docs from the left pane.

Let me know if you have any other questions 😀

Cheers,
Matias

Hi @Matias.Monday,

thanks so much for your reply! that makes total sense… quite obvious in hindsight 😅

I actually do have another question. I’ve been playing around with the api quite a bit, and one thing I tried to do was to find out how the different blocks where returned by the api. And I stumbled upon something weird, when using a “notice box” block.

In monday, it looks like this:

But the api, returns the blocks in a strange order:

{
  "data": {
    "docs": [
      {
        "blocks": [
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[]}",
            "id": "92a7db06-2826-4bd7-9dde-6a7f779b9ae3"
          },
          {
            "type": "notice box",
            "content": "{\\"theme\\":\\"tips\\",\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\"}",
            "id": "87e4dd41-6640-4050-bd62-e0ea2aabeb5d"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[]}",
            "id": "5aa5baba-e51d-4998-82cb-3887d8df3091"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"Ah wrong order\\"}]}",
            "id": "d6521d56-3192-4f76-9874-5c730eab2034"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[]}",
            "id": "8725f941-f1eb-4fb7-bec4-78659eedb16a"
          },
          {
            "type": "notice box",
            "content": "{\\"theme\\":\\"info\\",\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\"}",
            "id": "78434a45-21e7-4fab-96a8-2387386b6edb"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[]}",
            "id": "08537fc9-4550-4f42-9684-8277b9b2deed"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"mh, that is strange\\"}]}",
            "id": "1c485b60-aced-4c50-846a-2dcd7ba51fb9"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[]}",
            "id": "9a82a053-c4f4-47dc-a022-dc56204bd806"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"Yes, this might be a good idea!\\"}]}",
            "id": "5b490486-28b2-4f1e-b4a5-0d049ddf166f"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"Attention!\\"}]}",
            "id": "a385cfa1-4393-4c2a-8b23-84e57bcd3332"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "account_id": ...
}

I noticed that when I use a “code” block, or a “quote” block, the api returns the content within the block, in an insert attribute… but the notice box block returns the text part of the block in a different block, completely out of order:

{
  "data": {
    "docs": [
      {
        "blocks": [
          {
            "type": "notice box",
            "content": "{\\"theme\\":\\"info\\",\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\"}",
            "id": "cd89d37c-0b7a-41ad-a15a-9745b3d28600"
          },
          {
            "type": "quote",
            "content": "{\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"quote of the thing\\"}]}",
            "id": "2e011825-448d-409d-927e-e8e19741c905"
          },
          {
            "type": "code",
            "content": "{\\"language\\":\\"ruby\\",\\"alignment\\":\\"left\\",\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"# code block \\\\n\\\\ndef method\\\\nend\\"},{\\"insert\\":\\"\\\\n\\",\\"attributes\\":{\\"code-block\\":true}}]}",
            "id": "7225cd17-88c5-4d3b-a39f-c0361f298970"
          },
          {
            "type": "normal text",
            "content": "{\\"direction\\":\\"ltr\\",\\"deltaFormat\\":[{\\"insert\\":\\"test notice\\"}]}",
            "id": "4d2b3dd3-1485-47e6-92b2-e6c8e537ef52"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "account_id": ...
}

Is that a bug potentially?

Hello again @wnm,

Would you be able to please fill this form adding as much information as possible to it so that our team can take a look into it?

Hi Matias,

in this query
{
docs(object_ids: [1112223334]) {
blocks {
content
type
}
}
},

shouldn’t we be able to use more than one object ids? For example ’ docs(object_ids: [1112223334, 12345678])'? Such a query does not seem to return the desired result. Am I doing something wrong here? I want to fetcch two docs at once here.
