Hi I am trying to retrieve a list of all files and folders using the REST API as described here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn605900(v=office.15).aspx
Since I will be working with files and folders can anyone please tell me what is API Endpoint for retrieving files and folders.
For example, The API Endpoint for Discovery service is: https://api.office.com/discovery/me"
AND
for Mail, Calenddar and Contacts API its : https//outlook.office365.com
Thanks
It's my understanding that the endpoint is specific to the O365 tenant, for example https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com/personal/jim_contoso_com/_api.
Again, it's my understanding that you can use the Discovery service's https://api.office.com/discovery/me/Services endpoint (by including an access token authorization header) to get the user specific service endpoint, however it looks like the Discovery service is broken. It was working a few weeks ago, but not today.
You may have an error but not using the latest tools. You should update your tools to Visual Studio 2013 UPdate 2 and pull down the new tools for the Office 365 API Preview from within the IDE. This will allow you to support a lot more project types as mentioned in the blog post http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/7e947621-ef93-4de7-93d3-d796c43ba34f

Recently Microsoft published the Microsoft Search API (beta) which provides the possibility to index external systems by creating a MS Graph search custom connector.
To achieve this I created 2 Search Custom Connectors:
one according to Microsoft Graph Search Connector Sample from GitHub
and one on my own, step by step according to the official MS instructions
Create the Connector app in Azure
Add app registration (Single tenant)
Add required API permissions and give admin consent
Add a client secret
Get access token (via Postman)
Get the required parameters from app registration
Submit a login request to get the (bearer) token
Create a new connection (via Postman)
Registering a schema (via Postman)
Add items to the search index (via Postman)
Both variants worked well so far but if I now try a search (for example via Bing (activated for our O365 tenant, or in the Microsoft Search Center, logged in as the appropriate account) no results from the custom connectors are shown.
Via Graph Explorer, logged in as the appropriate account and using the query https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/search/query, I get an http status 500 ("InternalServerError", "The call failed, please try again."): Screenshot from Graph Explorer
Under > Microsoft 365 admin center > Microsoft Search > Connectors both connectors are displayed but there is displayed neither any status nor any successful synchronisation: screenshot from MS 365 Search admin center
I know the Microsoft Search API in still in preview but I wonder if it works at all?
Is there any possibility to trigger the synchronisation manually?
Or at least find out what's going wrong here?
Did you create a new Result Type and Vertical as well in the Search center?
I followed the steps mentioned in the sample and the search works for me in Office 365.
Regarding the synchronization, I don't think that is available in the Search center as of now because there is no option to edit the connection or set any synchronization schedule. However, I'm still exploring other options to synchronize as its quite new to me.
Something I can't seem to wrap my head around:
Enabled CA for Exchange Online and Sharepoint online to be accesible only from Intune compliant devices, works great.
On my iPhone I downloaded the Sharepoint app, logged in, and that works great. Same for the Onedrive app.
But when I try access either Sharepoint or Onedrive from another app (PDF-Expert to edit PDF's), it gives an error message:
Login failed, please try again later.
When I look at the user sign-ins, I see a successful login from the PDF-exert app, and when I turn off CA for Sharepoint online, I can successfully add both the Onedrive and Sharepoint source in the PDF-expert app. I've experimented with the "client apps" and selected everything and nothing, but that makes no difference.
Any ideas where to look further?
Here is a picture of my configured CA.
Note: currently it's one user who uses this, but exempting that user from CA beats the purpose of having CA, so that's not an option.
After contact with support and the support team from the PDF-Expert app we discovered that the issue lies with the app.
As far as we've understood from your logs, your OneDrive account requires MDM support which is not available in PDF Expert app. Our developers already aware of the issue with such accounts so they'll consider adding OneDrive MDM support in the future versions of PDF Expert app.
Now we wait until they make an update to support this.
I have the app that uses OneDrive API (MS graph) to access OneDrive free accounts and OneDrive for business.
The app works fine.
In docs of the API i can see same API can be used also to access Sharepoint Online sites data.
How to do this? When i auth a user who has Sharepoint Online account with MS graph, there is only his drive (ondrive) but there is no his site listed.
How to get access to his sharepoint site too using same API?
I have found how to work with sites using the Graph API.
To get list of sites there is the call
GET /v1.0/sites/
Then use the SITEID to get list of drives (in fact, top level folders)
GET /v1.0/sites/SITEID/drives
Then to get contents of a drive user
GET /v1.0/sites/SITEID/drives/DRIVEID/root/children
And all next calls are same as for onedrive drive
However, there is the problem i still can not solve. How to create new top level folder (new drive on a site). There is no API call for this
I believe what you are looking for is the sites API. It lets you interact with a SharePoint site if you know the path or the id of the site. You can find the documentation for the api here:
https://dev.onedrive.com/resources/site.htm
There is no easy way to discover sites as of now. You can however search for a site. You can read more about it here:
https://dev.onedrive.com/sites/search.htm
This endpoint to get the list of sites is not working, so the last answer is not valid anymore.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites
I haven't found a way to do this, the discovery of sites, without admin consent. If the admin consent flow is not a problem you can try this workaround, use the endpoint of groups to ask for the groups that the user is member of, and you can use the groups to get the document libraries of the user.
To get the groups:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/memberOf
With the group id, you can use this endpoint:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{group-id}/drive
So if someone know how to do the discovery of sites for a user without admin consent, please share.
EDIT: I'm not sure why my answer was deleted, my answer basically has 2 things:
I gave notice that one answer here is not valid anymore.
I gave a possible other solution to the problem.
I'm having problems even running a simple Easy API method. I keep getting the response that says "No route registered for '/api/userInfo'".
I know that this location is correct because the I'm opening the App Service editor at https://XXXX/dev/wwwroot/api/userInfo.js
The file also has anonymous access, so there shouldn't be an authorization issue. I'm simply trying to hit the api method from a browser.
The code of this very simple method has been reduced to the following for debugging purposes
module.exports = {
"get":function(){
console.log('whooohooo');
}
};
Is there a setting I'm missing to enable the ability to call Easy API's? I've not been able to find any documentation that states that Easy APIs method must be explicitly enabled, nor can I find any settings related to enabling them.
Please note that I did not set up a Node.js project and deploy it to Azure. I am using an "out of the box" app service.
My end goal is to use an Easy API method go get an authenticated user's email and name, but my efforts have been reduced to confirming that I can call a method. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I've created 3 different mobile App services with no luck and varying advantages.
App Service 1:
This Mobile Apps project is 10 months old and was created in the Azure portal. It has a routing line in the app.js file that suggest that the api route should be present, but doesn't work. I don't remember if i authorized the easy apis when i created it, but the fact that it has the following line suggests that I did
mobile.api.import('./api');
AppService 2:
This project was created in the MobileCenter using the Tables menu option for a Xamarin project. I then navigated to the Azure Portal and hooked up a SQL db to the table. I don't think I had the opt in to use Easy APIs, but the I was allowed to create an Easy API script, then edit it. Upon editing it, I realized that the project had no app.js file. Apparently web apps created via MobileCenter are created differently.
I picked this option because it allows you to use the "per-user" flag when setting up tables and doesn't require you to manually filter out data with a modification to the table's script. Apparently this is not an option if you don't set up an App Service via the MobileCenter??
App Service 3:
I created a brand new project within the portal and followed the the steps Aaron Chen laid out. I opted in, hooked up the table and modified the js file (I created a new one called 'testing'). I browsed to https://zzzzapitestzzzz1.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/testing
and got the dreaded no routes found error. Of course, the API method was created with anon access rights.
Basically, we can easily create an Easy API in the Azure portal.
Select your app service and click on Easy APIs in the MOBILE menu.
Enable Mobile extension for your app by clicking Need to configure Easy Tables/Easy APIs ...
Connect a database and then click Initialize App button.
After app initialized, you can add an API from Easy APIs blade.
Change the userInfo.js file to something like this:
Now, we can access the API with the endpoint http://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net/api/userInfo.

I'm working on accessing document libraries for Sharepoint sites via Mircosoft Graph, but haven't had any luck so far.
Here is my setup:
I have two sites
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com
https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/teams/MyTestSite
When I make an api call to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives, the response doesn't contain id of document library for second site (https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/teams/MyTestSite).
I have gone through documentation and haven't found anything on how to accomplish this. If anyone got any idea about this, please share.
Thanks.
I was able to figure out a solution for this. A sharepoint site is represented as a Group in Office 365. I found that out by doing some hit and trial.
So, after looking up their documentation for anything related to a Group, I got to this: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/resources/group
And, by using the List groups endpoint I was finally able to get a list of all the Sharepoint sites which the authenticated user can access.
This API call requires Group.Read.All scope while requesting access token and only Admin users can authorize this scope. So, this will need a separate interface for Admin to list groups, potentially store the group-user mapping on my app for the user to be able to make api call (/groups/{group-id}/drive/items/{item-id}) related to the drive.
The V1.0 API has a way to list your doc lib as follows
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/mydomain.sharepoint.com:/Teams/MyTestSite:/drives
Hope this helps.
The beta API also exposes a Sharepoint endpoint.
You can also use the path if you already know your site structure:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sharepoint:/sites
