My goal is to get the list of sites with their web URL from REST API. I created one application in my tenant by granting it SharePoint API permissions.
I received the access token with client_credentials flow:
POST https://login.microsoft.com/864cc7c2-e44a-4a7e-bc1a-42b37ca38e66/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id - 3affdc0e-04b4-495f-9346-7f5beda9c5ce,
grant_type - client_credentials,
client_secret - xxxxxx,
scope - https://< mytenant >.sharepoint.com/.default
But the issue is when I use that token to call the API. When I pass the Bearer token to call API, it's giving 401 unauthorized error like this:
{ 'error': { 'code': 'InvalidAuthenticationToken', 'message': 'Access token validation failure. Invalid Audience. ' } }
I think I messed up somewhere but don't know where in particular. Can anyone help me out?
But if I call the same in Microsoft Graph, I'm getting what I want which is very strange.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment via Postman and got the below results:
I created an Azure AD application and granted SharePoint permissions like this:
I generated the access token with same parameters as you like below:
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_id>/oauth2/v2.0/token
Response:
When I tried to get the list of sites with their web URLs using below query, I got the same error:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?$select=webUrl,siteCollection
Response:
To resolve the error, you need to do changes like below:
Make sure to grant API permissions for Microsoft Graph instead of SharePoint like below:
Change the scope as https://graph.microsoft.com/.default to get access token like below:
Using the above token, I got the list of sites with their web URLs successfully like below:
Reference:
List sites - Microsoft Graph v1.0 | Microsoft Docs
You can't use the token of the SPO api to call the graph API endpoint, you should call the SPO api endpoint to list the websites:
GET https://{tenant-name}.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/sites

I am using the example msal-react to authenticate and consume sharepoint services using their graph api, create an application on AAD with delegated permissions.
I am assigning the scopes "https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/.default" and I get the following error code: "InvalidAuthenticationToken" message: "Access token validation failure. Invalid audience." check the token I get on the JWT.io page .
Thank you very much for your support
You are using the graph API to perform CRUD operations for SharePoint sites, so you should get an access token for the graph API instead of the SharePoint REST API.
So please change your scope to: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment via Postman and got below results:
I registered one SPA application and added SharePoint API permissions like below:
I generated access token via Postman with below parameters:
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenantID>/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id:appID
grant_type:authorization_code
scope: https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/.default
code:code
redirect_uri: https://jwt.ms
code_verifier:S256
Response:
When I decoded the token, it has SharePoint as audience and scp claim as below:
I got the same error as you when I used above token to call SharePoint from below graph API call:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<siteID>/lists
Response:
To resolve the error, assign Microsoft Graph API permissions for SharePoint like below:
Now, generate the access token again by changing the scope to https://graph.microsoft.com/.default as suggested by #Carl Zhao like below:
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenantID>/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id:appID
grant_type:authorization_code
scope: https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
code:code
redirect_uri: https://jwt.ms
code_verifier:S256
Response:
When I decoded the above token, I got Microsoft Graph as audience and scp claims are as below:
When I used above token to call SharePoint site lists from below graph API call, I got the results successfully like below:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<siteID>/lists
Response:
Note that, your token audience should be https://graph.microsoft.com while making graph calls and scp claim should contain Microsoft graph permissions.
I have a web application registered in Azure AD and have it working with the Graph API. But I would like to be able to instead query the Sharepoint REST API.
I have added the sharepoint delegated permission scope "AllSites.Read" to my application (in addition to the Graph API scopes that I was using before) and request this scope (in addition to the other delagated msgraph scopes) when I get the oauth token from the user. I successfully get the token, using https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0 for the authorization/token calls, but am unable to make a successful query:
My query looks like client.get(f"https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists") where tenant is the tenant of the particular user who's token I am using.
The error I get looks like {'error_description': 'Invalid issuer or signature.'} with reason="Token contains invalid signature.";category="invalid_client"' in the header of the response.
I am able to query the Graph api, but would like to also be able to query the Sharepoint REST api, because the Graph api is is insufficient for my actual use case, which will be to get Sharepoint groups (Graph api does not give sharepoint groups when I ask for groups, only Office 365 and Azure AD groups).
Update:
The permissions I've set on the app:
I have not added any scopes in Expose API, I don't know if I need to. I did not need this part to have it working with Graph API.
Lastly I'll mention that in Postman, controlled environment purely with this as the request, with OAuth 2.0:
Auth URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Access Token URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id
client_secret
Scope: AllSites.Read
I get a token successfully, with all the roles, although it still doesn't give me access to https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists. I get the following error:
"error": {
"code": "-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException",
"message": {
"lang": "en-US",
"value": "Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."
}
}
}
which admittedly is probably a step forward from the invalid client error I was getting before, but still quite stuck.
I was able to get this to work in Postman:
OAuth 2.0
Grant Type: Authorization Code
Auth URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Access Token URL: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token
Client ID: <client_id>
Client Secret: <client_secret>
Scope: https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/AllSites.FullControl
The token I get back has all of the permissions that I set on the application, including the Graph API ones and the Sharepoint scopes that I did not request in the Scope parameter of the auth request:
"scp": "AllSites.FullControl AllSites.Read Directory.Read.All Files.Read.All Group.Read.All MyFiles.Read Sites.Read.All Sites.Search.All User.Read User.Read.All", which was a little surprising.
A key point was setting the tenant url in the scope so that the aud parameter in the token comes back for the right tenant. It was coming back before configured for the resourceAppId associated with the Graph permissions (00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000), rather than the Sharepoint permissions. This way, aud got set to https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com and I was able to access https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists.
You can try to get the acccess token in PostMan for a testing purpose.
Callback URL: https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback
Auth URL : https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?resource=https://<tenant_name>.sharepoint.com
Access Token URL : https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token
Client ID : <Application_ID>
Client Secret : <KEY>
Grant Type : Authorization Code
Will pop up a login window to sign in and then generate the access token and get the SharePoint groups:

Just starting to work with SharePoint and Microsoft authentication and trying to get a SharePoint List into a JavaScript App. From Microsoft documentation, I need to use the following:
GET https://{site_url}/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('List Title')
Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken
Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
Have searched everywhere to find an definitive answer to how to obtain this accessToken. All the documentation I can find from Microsoft seem to be out of date. Does anyone know the current method to obtain an accessToken?
To call SharePoint specific APIs you need to get a SPO specific access token. You can "swap" an regular MS Graph refresh token for an SPO specific token by doing the following:
Get a delegated auth token from graph as you normally would
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-v2-user)
Use the refresh_token you got and exchange it for an SPO access token by calling the auth endpoint again:
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{{tenantName}}/oauth2/v2.0/token
With the following form data:
client_id=<APP ID>
client_secret=<APP SECRET>
refresh_token=<REFRESH TOKEN FROM ABOVE>
grant_type=refresh_token
scope=https://<YOUR TENANT NAME>.sharepoint.com/Sites.Read.All
Take the access token and call the SPO API
You must ensure your app is registered with the correct permissions. In the case above the app must have Sites.Read.All for example.
You could refer to this article to get access token:
https://global-sharepoint.com/sharepoint-online/in-4-steps-access-sharepoint-online-data-using-postman-tool/
Post https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/<Tenant ID>/tokens/OAuth/2
Body:
grant_type client_credentials
client_id <Client ID>
client_secret <Client Secret>
resource 00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000/<tenant>.sharepoint.com#<Tenant ID>
My test result:
There is not much documentation for SP API, but it still works. You may follow documentation to get token for Graph API by whatever type of authentication is suitable for your scenario, but instead of passing scopes for Graph API (which is "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"), you should pass scopes for Sharepoint API which is "https://{your tenant name}.sharepoint.com/.default"
".default" will provide you the access with all permissions which was assigned in Azure AD - so also make sure, that Azure admin has granted you required API permissions for SharePoint API.
This will also work for MSAL.
I'm trying to get the users basic profile from Azure AD. I have a React Native app authenticating against a Native Azure AD App registration. The access_token I got from that request is used to authenticate against a Web app / Api. The user is shown the propper consent screen with the permissions I set in Azure AD.
Microsoft Graph API
Read all users' basic profiles
Sign in and read user profile
Windows Azure Active Directory
Read all users' basic profiles
Sign in and read user profile
(added both Graph API & AAD because I didn't know which one to use)
When I try and get the users profile through https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/me, with the access_token gotten from the previous request I get:
{
"error": {
"code": "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
"message": "Access token validation failure.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "00cdb708-bcf8-4b33-af21-14a046b16533",
"date": "2018-09-02T18:28:59"
}
}
}
The resource in my initial authentication request is the Web App / API's app id, and I don't think having 2 resources is an option (?).
What am I doing wrong, and what should I do to fix it? Thanks.
According to your descriptions, I assume you want to get the users profile, but get the error shows an invalid token.
Based on my test, the request URL that you posted is not correct.
It should be 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me' or 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}'.
We can trouble shoot your problems as follows.
First, check request, if it has correct 'Authorization' field. This document shows that we need the Authorization field in the request headers.
Second, if you have added the Authorization field in the request headers, could you provide the main code that we can identify if problem is from there ?
While getting the access token add "resource" : "https://graph.microsoft.com/" and use that access token in header with Bearer than hit the url ---> https://graph.microsoft.com/me?api-version=1.6
Don't forget to add the resource while getting access token
Thank me later :P
I've registered an Angular2 app with Microsoft that's completely client-side to access the Graph API. I've enabled Implicit Grant Flow and I'm able to obtain a JWT successfully after login and first-time authorization.
The URL fragment even says that it's a bearer token, like so:
http://localhost:4200/loginRedirect#access_token={JWT_TOKEN_HERE}&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600&session_state={state_guid}
My redirect to authenticate, for reference, looks like this:
window.location.href = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?resource=" + encodeURIComponent('https://graph.windows.net') + "&response_type=token&client_id=" + this._config.clientId + "&redirect_uri=" + encodeURIComponent(this._config.redirectUri);
Despite including the acquired JWT in my the header of my Graph API request:
Authorization: Bearer {JWT_TOKEN_HERE}
I get a 401: Access Token Validation Error
I assumed that since I successfully retrieved that token it told me was a Bearer, it would've worked, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Wrong resource URI. Azure AD Graph API is https://graph.windows.net.
Microsoft Graph API resource URI is https://graph.microsoft.com/, try it.
Azure AD Graph API is AAD's API, whereas Microsoft Graph API covers also Office 365 services. Confusing naming though.
