Strapi doesn't return data for default locale via REST API

Question

I'm using the latest Strapi version (4.5.2) and have two locales configured:

https://my-api-url.com/api/i18n/locales ->
    
0   
    id          2
    name        "German (de)"
    code        "de"
    createdAt   "2022-11-23T17:15:52.629Z"
    updatedAt   "2022-11-23T19:58:50.165Z"
    isDefault   false
1   
    id          1
    name        "English (en)"
    code        "en"
    createdAt   "2022-11-22T14:31:35.679Z"
    updatedAt   "2022-11-23T19:59:05.421Z"
    isDefault   true

When I query my Strapi API without specifying a locale parameter, it should return the content in the default language (here, as shown above, "English"), but it doesn't:

https://my-api-url.com/api/mycollection ->

data    []
meta    
pagination  
page    1
pageSize    25
pageCount   0
total   0

Querying with locale set to "German", I get the expected contents:

https://razor-server-tim.herokuapp.com/api/themes?locale=de ->

data    
    0   
        id  2
        attributes  
            Title   "Das ist mein Titel"
            Summary "Das ist die Zusammenfassung"
            SomeOtherField "Deutsche Übersetzung"
            createdAt   "2022-11-23T19:41:11.527Z"
            updatedAt   "2022-11-23T19:41:21.162Z"
            publishedAt "2022-11-23T19:41:21.156Z"
            ImageUrl    "https://res.cloudinary.com/hnraymasy/image/upload/v1669146049/car_vxhq7h.png"
            locale  "de"
meta    
    pagination  
        page    1
        pageSize    25
        pageCount   1
        total   1

Querying the API with locale=all results in only the German translations being returned.

(From the docs: "Use all as a value for the locale code, as in http://localhost:1337/api/restaurants?locale=all, to fetch entries for all locales that have been configured in the admin panel.)

In the Global Settings, the i18n plugin is configured as shown:

The collection type page shows that both locales have content available:

The entry itself also shows that English content is available:

Why does the API not return my English content?

Well, the time was late... Turns out that I mixed up the locally and remotely deployed versions and edited the unpublished draft for the English locale.

So make sure that you actually publish the version that you're requesting via the API!
