I am trying to fetch all the content that I am following (favorites) like sites and groups via the Microsoft Graph API. Like the content you get on the new SharePoint homepage /_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?v=following. I did not find anything like that on the https://graph.microsoft.io docs.
MemberOf GET /users/<id | userPrincipalName>/memberOf is not what I want.
The Microsoft Graph doesn't support to get the following content. If you want it to support this feature, you can submit the feedback from here.
As workaround, you may consider use the SharePoint REST directly. We can use the My/Followed to get users, documents, sites, and tags that the current user is following.
Here is the sample REST for your reference:
GET http://<siteCollection>/<site>/_api/social.following/my/followed(types=15)
Request parameter
types
Type: Int32
The actor types to include. Users = 1, Documents = 2, Sites = 4, Tags = 8. Bitwise combinations are allowed.
More detail about SharePoint following REST, you can refer here.

I'm trying to get the OneNote notebook information that is linked to my organization's CRM accounts. Each account has a OneNote book created for it that can be accessed inside of CRM.
From what I understand, I can use the SharePointDocumentLocation endpoint (found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/web-api/sharepointdocumentlocation?view=dynamics-ce-odata-9) to get the location of the specific file if I ask for location type to be 1.
However, SharePointDocumentLocationId and SiteCollectionId don't seem to be pointing to anything on my company's sites. Should I be getting my data somewhere else?
I started searching through my company's SharePoint structure to see if I can get any hints as to where these documents may be located. My initial Postman request (getting the sites off of the root site) don't show the site that hosts our CRM documents (sites/crmdocs). I was able to find where this was stored eventually, but trying to get the OneNote notebooks stored there returns an error since we have more than 20,000 notebooks there, so I can't fetch them all. As far as I know, I'm able to get notebooks if I have the specific ID I want.
Once I fetch the CRM information, I try to send a request like this:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{myCompanyUrl},{siteCollectionId},{sharepointDocumentLocationId}/onenote/notebooks/
SiteCollectionId and SharePointDocumentLocationId are from my CRM SharePointDocumentLocation request
The error I receive is:
The requested site was not found. Please check that the site is still accessible.
Assuming your environment is using the out of the box sharepoint site and sharepoint document location hierarchy, you can access One Note files using the following link structure:
[SharePointAbsoluteUrl]/[EntityLogicalName]/[RelativeUrl]_[RegardingObjectId]/[RelativeUrl]
How to get [SharePointAbsoluteUrl] :
Querying for sharepointdocumentlocations is actually not enough because Dynamics 365 stores this information in another entity called sharepointsite. This is how you can obtain it:
var query = new QueryExpression("sharepointsite")
{
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("absoluteurl")
};
query.Criteria.AddCondition("IsDefault", ConditionOperator.Equal, true);
var entityCollection = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
var absoluteUrl = entityCollection[0].Attributes["absoluteurl"];
In Web API it is equivalent to:
GET https://[Your Org]/api/data/v9.0/sharepointsites?$select=absoluteurl&$filter=isdefault%20eq%20true
There can only be a default sharepoint site so this query will return a single record.
How to get the remaining parts:
Fetch for sharepointdocumentlocations that have Location Type dedicated to One Note Integration:
var query = new QueryExpression("sharepointdocumentlocation")
{
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("regardingobjectid", "relativeurl")
};
query.Criteria.AddCondition("locationtype", ConditionOperator.Equal, 1);
var entityCollection = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
In Web API it is equivalent to the following get request, don't forget to add add Prefer: odata.include-annotations="*" to your HTTP Request Headers so that it gets the lookup lookuplogicalname field:
GET https://[Your Org]/api/data/v9.0/sharepointdocumentlocations?$select=relativeurl,_regardingobjectid_value&$filter=locationtype%20eq%201
This query can return many records, I've only used the first one in the examples below for explanation purposes.
[EntityLogicalName] will be your ((EntityReference)entityCollection[0].Attributes["regardingobjectid"]).LogicalName;
In Web Api will be your value._regardingobjectid_value#Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname value.
[RelativeUrl] will be your entityCollection[0].Attributes["relativeurl"];
In Web Api will be your value.relativeurl value.
[RegardingObjectId] can be obtained with this expression ((EntityReference)entityCollection[0].Attributes["regardingobjectid"]).Id.ToString().Replace("-", "").ToUpper();
In Web Api id will be your _regardingobjectid_value value and you have to remove dashes and convert it to upper case in whatever language you are doing the request.
You should end up with an URL like this https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/account/A Datum Fabrication_A56B3F4B1BE7E6118101E0071B6AF231/A Datum Fabrication
I am using the Acumatica REST endpoint https://sandbox.kimballinc.com/AcumaticaERP/entity/Default/6.00.001 in my application
I am using the URL https://sandbox.kimballinc.com/AcumaticaERP/entity/Default/6.00.001/StockItem?$filter=InventoryID eq '123456'&$expand=WarehouseDetails to fetch info about a Product and to get complete warehouse details
My query is how to expand and get Price/CostInfo details in the response
Expand should be used for the arrays declared inside the entity in the web service endpoint:
Price/CostInfo is not an array so it can't be expanded. The default endpoint doesn't contain those fields so you'll need to extend the endpoint and add them:
Select the StockItem entity and use POPULATE button to add the fields:
Extended endpoint requires that you specify a different endpoint name:
In this example I choose DefaultPlus so I need to connect to:
https://xyz/AcumaticaERP/entity/DefaultPlus/6.00.001/StockItem
Instead of:
https://xyz/AcumaticaERP/entity/Default/6.00.001/StockItem
The added fields will be part of the GET response for StockItem, no special parameter is required for that.
I took a look at your site and noticed that you are using Acumatica 2018 R2.
I would then recommend that you use the latest version of the endpoint 18.200.001 as there are more field there by default.
If I saw correctly some of the fields for the Price/Cost Info are already in the main entity as they have a relation 1:1 to it.
To resume it using the latest version of the endpoint would allow you to see these field without the need to expand anything.
I'm trying to retrieve a document library by path using the Graph API and I'm not sure how to proceed.
The url to the library is for example the following:
https://hostname/sites/sitename/subsite/nameofdocumentlibrary/
I would like to have all the children through the Graph API. The issue: I know the document of the library but I don't know the ID of the library. It seems that it's possible to access it through the relative path but I'm not succeeding to it.
How do I do this?
My get url was the following:
/v1.0/sites/hostname:/sites/sitename/subsite/nameofdoccumentlibary/items
I'm always getting:
The provided path does not exist, or does not represent a site or UnknownError.
Any ideas ?
Try to use this:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{hostname},{spsite-id},{spweb-id}/lists/{list-id}
I don't check this in real life because I don't have SP Online. But it must working.
Use this link with SharePoint Graph API.
To get site id (site collection) you can go to your site collection and browse this endpoint:
https://hostname/sites/sitename/_api/site?$select=Id
To get web id (subsite) you can go to your subsite and browse this endpoint:
https://hostname/sites/sitename/subsite/_api/web?$select=Id
To get library Id you can just open Document Library Settings page. URL have library ID. You can transform it to real guid. Like this:
/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=%7B603D7FA3-C801-46EB-A044-421234452901%7D
Must transformed to:
603D7FA3-C801-46EB-A044-421234452901
Following your feedback, I could now retrieve the document library using the display name (not the path in the url).
This is my request:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/fullsubsiteid/lists/69369/items
69369 is my display Name here.
I can also use:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/fullsubsiteid/lists/69369/drive
Now the first request, is returning an empty value array, while there is a "Documents" folder in the document library. How could I retrieve all folders/files etc in this document library? How can I use relative path?
Tx!
As it is documented, using the Microsoft Graph REST API you can Search the hierarchy of items for items matching a query.
This works fine, as expected when we using API based approach using postman : https://{xxxxxx}-my.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/me/drive/root/search(q='Test')
Same functionality when we want to use Microsoft graph client, and it produces error.
Eg :
await graphClient.Me.Drive.Search(searchText).Request().GetAsync();
Error :
Code: -1,
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException
Message: Cannot find resource for the request microsoft.graph.search.
Note : Same graphClient search call works properly for OneDrive for personal but not work for oneDrive for Business.
According to your description, you want to search the DriveItems using MS Graph.
Based on your posted, you get the DriveItems in the root. However, you get the drive when you use the MS Graph.
We can use the follow code to get the DriveItems in the root.
await graphClient.Me.Drive.Root.Request().GetAsync();
However, refer to this document, the search query parameter is only support the message and person collections. So you can't use here.
How do you update a SharePoint 2013 wiki page using the REST API?
Three permutations:
Reading an existing page (content only)
Updating an existing page
Creating a new page
For reading an existing page, of course I can just to a "GET" of the correct URL, but this also brings down all the various decorations around the actual data on the wiki page-- rather than fish that out myself, it would be better if there was a way to just get the content if that is possible.
Are there special endpoints is the REST API that allow for any of these three operations on wiki pages?
As stated in GMasucci's post, there does not appear to be a clean or obvious way of instantiating pages through the REST API.
You can call the AddWikiPage method from the SOAP service at http://[site]/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx. This is an out of the box service that will be accessible unless it has been specifically locked down for whatever reason.
To read the content of a wiki page through the REST API, you can use the following endpoint:
https://[siteurl]/_vti_bin/client.svc/Web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/page/to/wikipage.aspx')/ListItemAllFields
The content is contained within the WikiContent field. You may want to add a select to that URL and return it as JSON to reduce the amount of data getting passed over if that is a concern.
As for updating the content of an existing wiki page, it is not something I have tried but I would imagine it's just like populating another field through the REST API. This is how I would expect to do it:
Do a HTTP POST to the same endpoint as above
Use the following HTTP headers:
Cookie = "yourauthcookie"
Content-Type = "application/json;odata=verbose"
X-RequestDigest = "yourformdigest"
X-HTTP-Method, "MERGE"
If-Match = "etag value from entry node, returned from a GET to the above endpoint"
Post the following JSON body
{
"__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.SitePagesItem" },
"WikiField" : "HTML entity coded wiki content goes here"
}
The interim answer I have found is to not utilise REST, as it appears to not be
fully documented
fully featured
supported across Sharepoint 2013 and On-line in the same way
So my current recommendation would be to utilise the SOAP services to achieve the same, as these are more documented and easily accessible.
