Group library doesn't seem to update via Zotero API

copystar
I've created a group library that's public:
https://www.zotero.org/groups/uwin-bio/items/collectionKey/8AZZZ8GW

I updated the contents and despite refreshing within Zotero over a week ago, it brings old citations with long-deleted notes
https://api.zotero.org/groups/600701/collections/8AZZZ8GW/items?format=bib&style=apa

Curiously, this only seems to be a problem with my group library. My personal library directory (same citations!) are updated via the API
https://api.zotero.org/users/5110/collections/2TXZHC9X/items?format=bib&style=apa

Any idea how this can be resolved?
Thank you!

    It's including child items, which still exist. You can add "/top" after "/items" to get only the top-level items.

    It's possible that ?format=bib should automatically use /top mode, since I don't think child items are ever wanted in bibliographies, but we'll need to discuss that on the dev list.

    Thank you so much Dan - that did the trick!

    I'm still a little surprised that these child entries were still showing because I had deleted them, but at this point, I'm just very happy to have a working bibliography.

    Thanks again. Much appreciated!

    Most likely you either only deleted them from your personal library or didn't sync after deleting them from the group library. They're not deleted online.
