Notion Images: Links expire

Hi,
I am using Notion as a source for images and text. Works super well, but i noticed after some hours (I think 48) the links the are retrieved by the notion API do expire and the images cannot be loaded anymore.

Is there any way to prevent this?

this must have to do with notion api, is there info about it in their docs?

You mean you are copypasting notion image src?

As accessing notion data through API should not have issues like above

https://developers.notion.com/docs/working-with-files-and-media#:~:text=Retrieving%20files%20and%20media%20via%20the%20Notion%20API&text=The%20public%20URLs%20are%20updated,shouldn't%20be%20statically%20referenced.

thats the information i've found there. I think im making a mistake, because these links should normally renew but for me they did not.

In webstudio it looks like this for me:

{Name of Variable}.properties.BlogBild.files[0].file.url

The Url looks to be correct aswell but returns a 403 error when visited

documentation says: "Each time a database or page is queried, a new public URL is generated for all files hosted by Notion."

unfortunately they don't allow keeping a cache

it seems their api is not meant to be used as a headless api at all, its meant to be used for import/export

Yeah i've found so. When I inspect the data retrieved the Image URL is acutally the correct one, with the new experiy date. But inside my Collection Item, there is still the first one.

See how react notion makes images URLs for notion

@Ivan Starkov in simple terms, you think adding all those values to the query allows to get image accesson every call?

Few days ago I saw format above on notion pages, and it works everywhere
every image src must be converted using algorithm above

You need to know block.value.parent_table and block.value.id

Is optimize image enabled @stoesselleon that nows causes a problem

Yeah i had it turned on. Turning it off actually solved the issue @John Siciliano! Thank you for the hint

for awareness, i updated the notion doc, image component doc with optimize desc, and notion template

@stoesselleon Sike, try turning it back on. We were able to do something on our side that fixes it
