Query using SharePoint REST API using Author/EMail - sharepoint-online

I running into an issue with filtering using the Autor/EMail field in REST API. The query works fine when the List in Not Throttled. But we get Throttling exception when the List is throttled (>5000). The Created By Column is Indexed was well.
https://example.org/sites/dev/rnd/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Favs')/items?$Select=ID,ItemId,ListName,Author/EMail&$Expand=Author&$Filter=Author/EMail eq 'john.smith#org.com'

After couple of trial and error I found that Author/Email is not the correct field to use. Instead we need to use Author/Id. The Id would the site user id and we can get the value from the property _spPageContextInfo.userId
Hope this helps somebody.

Clear complete Table for custom entity via App?

Is it possible to clear the complete table via an App through the API for a custom entity?
I tried a DELETE but get an error message: Method Not Allowed (Allow: GET, POST)
The documentation states, that its not needed to set the permission in the xml for the own entity. And I can see that also the delete permission is set when looking at the permissions from the App.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Danny
You can use the sync endpoint to mass-delete records but you will still need the ids for all the records to be deleted. There is no way to truncate a table via the api if that is what you're looking for.

Microsoft Graph paging with list message and list reply?

I'm integrating Microsoft Teams into my app using microsoft graph API.
But with the API to get list message, I used parameter $top={pageSize} for pagination, then I got surprised that in the first call, the response returned "pageSize - 1" records, not exactly the number of pageSize.
In contrary, the API to get list replies, it returned exactly "pageSize" records in the first call.
I don't understand why is there a difference like this between message and relpy. Can anyone help me?
This is the pattern of the API that I used:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams/{teamId}/channels/{channelId}/messages?$top={pageSize}
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams/{teamId}/channels/{channelId}/messages/{messageId}/replies?$top={pageSize}
We could able to reproduce the issue on our side raised a bug.

Maximo- Update work order using RESTApi by passing wonum and siteid instead of workorderid

We are currently on Maximo 7.6.1 and have started to use Restful APIs and was wondering if there is a way to update a work order using RESTApi by passing wonum and siteid instead of workorderid.
We would like to avoid one additional GET call for our middleware to retrieve the workorderid and then use it in the PUT request.
Using this URL (OS as well) tries to insert a record even though the HTTP method is PUT.
/maxrest/rest/mbo/WORKORDER?_action=AddChange&siteid=XXX&wonum=7065644&description=Testing
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks
The IBM documentation appears to suggest you can only update existing records with the unique ID:
Use the PUT method to update or insert a resource. An update request
must provide the unique ID of the resource. To update an object
structure resource, the ID of the main object is required.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLKT6_7.6.0/com.ibm.mif.doc/gp_intfrmwk/rest_api/r_rest_put_method.html
The response received using the url you provided appears to bear this out in as far as it indicates the work order cannot be created as it already exists:
Error 400: BMXAA4129E - The record for Site=BEDFORD, Work Order=1234
already exists. Ensure that the key value for the given record is
unique.
Reviewing the information at the following url I wasn't able to determine a method to perform the update without the unique ID:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/form/anonymous/api/wiki/02db2a84-fc66-4667-b760-54e495526ec1/page/87348f89-b8b4-4c4a-94bd-ecbe1e4e8857/attachment/0a884bde-d17e-471b-b046-7f8feddfd267/media/MaximoNextGenRESTAPI%20%281%29.pdf
In addition the Maximo RESTful API Swagger documentation indicates a POST to /os/mxwo is used to "Create a new resource":
/maximo/oas3/api.html?includeactions=1#/Work_Order_Definition_(MXWO)/post_os_mxwo
Whilst a POST to /os/mxwo/{id} is used to "Update WORKORDER Object":
/maximo/oas3/api.html?includeactions=1#/Work_Order_Definition_(MXWO)/post_os_mxwo__id_
I was however able to update an existing work order using the unique ID. This being the case I can only suggest one of the following:
If you're creating the work order first using the REST/OSLC API,
retrieve and store the unique ID from the response received when the
record is created.
If (1) above is not possible, perform a GET and use parameters in
the query to filter on wonum and siteid and only receive back the minimum of
fields (e.g. workorderid only).
If neither (1) or (2) are feasible investigate whether it's possible
to customise Maximo and create your own endpoint for the work order
object structure that takes wonum and siteid as parameters,
retrieves the mbo and performs the update.

Get delta users (Users creatad between date) - office 365 graph API

I am making a timer job in c# which will make a call to office 365 and fetch newly created users. For example, if I run it now it should fetch users since last run till current time (Delta). However I dont see any FILTER or API parameter where I can pass date and get ONLY those users who are updated or created after specific date.
Is there any API available something like this;
https://graph.windows.net/{MYORG}/users?api-version=1.6&[Filter=createdDate
gt 12/12/2016 or modifiedDate gt 12/12/2016]
Azure AD Graph API can't do this as far as I am aware of, the User entity does not contain creation or modification dates to query on.
However, the beta endpoint of the Microsoft Graph API should be able to do this. You can follow the instructions here: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/concepts/delta_query_users. Simply put you must:
Call the users endpoint with the delta function
If you got a skip token, it means there are more pages
Fetch the next page until you no longer get a skip token but get a delta token instead
This delta token allows you to call the endpoint anytime later to get only the modified users (created/updated/deleted)
General guidance for delta queries
I found that blog already however its under delta and throwing errors to me. Here is what I got in response of first call;
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/delta?$skiptoken=
when I did a GET to that link, I am getting error saying the resource you are trying to request is either does not exist or has been removed or...
I feel there is a bug as its beta API.
However, good news is I just found another blog which seems to have be fixed my problem using following query;
https://graph.windows.net/XYZ.onmicrosoft.com/directoryObjects?api-version=1.6&deltaLink=
I will anyway mark your answer as accepted assuming Microsoft will fix the issue I am getting from backend.

How to access more than 10 products in Amazon mws via ListMatchingProducts API using node.js

I am using node.js(Meteor) for calling Amazon MWS ListMatchingProducts API for getting all products of my seller account . Its running sucessfully and i am getting the response , but as the documentation said that only ten(10) products are returned at one time. So i just want to know how we get products more than 10 . In the doc Amazon also said that you can submit NextToken with a "ByNextToken" operation to request additional pages.But i am not getting any nextToken or related to that nextToken field on my response.So how do i get the nextToken from there side or how can i get more than 10 products from that API. As i also check on one post they said that we need to use Reports for that but i want to use ListMatchingProducts API for that and want result more than 10.
Please provide me any suggestion or guidance how can i achieve that.
Any help would be appriciated
Thanks
You want to call the Reports API using the Inventory Report report type or one of the other Listing Report types. That is the way to go. The ListMatchingProductsoperation of the Products API is meant to be a search, based on a query. Yes, it only lists ten products but it does not give you a NextToken like some of the other operations. Knowing your Report Type and Marketplace ID, you can submit those to the Reports API with your credentials and get back all of your products all at once and there is no searching involved.
What I would also suggest is to use the Amazon Scratchpad to play around with your operations to make sure you get what you expect, then plug it into your node.js project.
