query parameter no longer matches hidden field values

Hi Typeform team,

We're experiencing an issue with the /responses API. We used to query for hidden field values (e.g., ?query=abc123) and receive matching responses where "hidden": { "field_name": "abc123" } — this worked fine until a few days ago.

Now, the same query returns no results, even though we can see the hidden field present in the response payloads.

Could you confirm whether hidden field search support was changed, deprecated, or broken?

Thanks!

Hi ​@SOUSOUHOU Would you mind sending over the call you’re making so we can see if that might be the issue? 

Tagging ​@picsoung in case he has any ideas!

Hi ​@Liz , 

Thank you for the prompt reply, the issue was actually resolved almost 5 minutes after we posted. We didn’t change anything, but the API is now returning the expected response :) 

 

Best Regards
