Hello Community,

I have a question regarding the Miro API that I hope someone can help clarify.

I've noticed that there seems to be a significant delay between the time I create a board in the Miro web UI and when it becomes accessible via the endpoint `https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/`. 

Can anyone provide insight into the exact time it typically takes for this API, specifically this endpoint, to reflect newly created boards?

Additionally, I've encountered a peculiar situation where some freshly created boards are not visible through the `https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/` endpoint, yet they can be accessed using `https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/{board_id}` endpoint (with the board ID retrieved from the Miro web UI URL). 

Can someone explain this inconsistency in visibility?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,  
Vas

I just wanted to let you know that the issue I experienced was only temporary and lasted for just a few hours.

Everything is now functioning properly, and it seems to have been a random API glitch.

I appreciate your understanding, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


Hey ​@vkoko 

Thank you for raising this. 
 

There can be a delay with the Miro API when creating and accessing boards.

The creation of a board in Miro involves multiple steps and can sometimes take a few minutes to complete. During this time, the board might not be fully accessible via the https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/ endpoint. This is because the board is still in the creation phase and might not be fully indexed or available for API queries. This may mean boards with unfinished creation processes may still be shown on the dashboard or search platform but are not fully accessible yet.


If you experience this in the future, please raise it again and we can take a look at the issue.

To get the quickest results, we recommend using the following filters: team_idproject_id, or both the team_id and project_id
 

Hope this helps!
