GraphQL query returns only 3 items

I am using GatsbyJS to develop a website, i used a plugin gatsby-source-medium to query medium so i can get posts and no matter what i do, it always returns 3 items.

my query:

query MyQuery {
  allMediumPost(limit: 100000) {
    nodes {
      id
      createdAt
    }
  }
}

response:

{
  "data": {
    "allMediumPost": {
      "nodes": [
        {
          "id": "8238affb-bcf6-5867-a45c-c5483b3a2225",
          "createdAt": "2023-12-03"
        },
        {
          "id": "2acbcb1d-e436-541d-b627-35feaae4db0c",
          "createdAt": "2023-10-28"
        },
        {
          "id": "0c0797bb-ab94-532c-87f1-945f2e874dd8",
          "createdAt": "2023-10-28"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "extensions": {}
}

I have tried using rss and axios, but it doesn't return the thumbnail and its causing some part of the site to break.

I also increased the limit.

is there something i am missing?

Solution

Try another solution using the RSS feed.

Install the gatsby-source-rss-feed dependency (I'm using version 1.2.2).

Configure the package, pointing it to the RSS feed.

🗎 gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    // Site stuff goes here.
  },
  plugins: [
   {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-rss-feed`,
      options: {
        url: `https://medium.com/feed/@desciafrica`,
        name: "RSS",
      }
    },
  ],
}

You'll have new content in GraphQL which you can use to access the RSS data.

🗎 src/pages/home.js

import React from "react"
import { graphql } from "gatsby"
import Layout from "../layouts"

export default function Index({ data }) {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <p>List of RSS posts:</p>
      <ul>
        {data.allFeedRss.nodes.map((node) => (
          <li>
            <a href={node.link}><strong>{node.title}</strong></a>
          </li>
        ))}
      </ul>
    </Layout>
  )
}

export const pageQuery = graphql`
  query {
    allFeedRss {
      nodes {
        id
        link
        title
      }
    }
  }
`

That will pull through the most recent ten posts from the feed (in the correct order!).
