Using the search parameter on the /sites endpoint MSGraph .Net SDK - microsoft-graph-api

I've been trying to build a query to return all SPO sites in a tenant using MSGraph. I can do this in the Graph Explorer with the following query:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search=*
This MSdocs article seems to suggest that it's possible to use the search parameter but the C# example does not use search.
Has anyone been able to return all SPO sites in a tenant using the .Net SDK?

I'm using the following code to search for a site.
Add search as a query option in a request.
IGraphServiceClient client;
private async Task<Site> FindSiteAsync(string value)
{
var siteQueryOptions = new List<QueryOption>()
{
new QueryOption("search", value)
};
var sites = await client.Sites.Request(siteQueryOptions).GetAsync();
var site = sites.FirstOrDefault();
return site;
}

How I can call an api from MVC .net 4.7.2 using Microsoft Identity Planform (Azure AD

I am following a tutorial from microsoft docs and I have created an api with Microsoft Identity Platform using Azure AD in asp.net core 5.
The tutorialI followed shows how to call an api from asp.net core 5, and I have done that part but now I want to call the api from asp.net 4.7.2. Since I am new to apis and example I am finding are not using Microsoft Identity platform to call an api secured by microsoft identity
Can someone point me to document, tutorial, or code which shows me how I can call the api. Code should be written in asp.net not core.
I have done some part but stuck on calling the api.
See the below code
Api methods:
I have already setup the api and web app in Azure portal and configured permission to 2 of the scope.
Method in api.
GetCategory()
GetCatalog()
private async Task OnAuthorizationCodeReceivedAsync(AuthorizationCodeReceivedNotification
notification)
{
notification.HandleCodeRedemption();
var idClient = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId)
.WithRedirectUri(redirectUri)
.WithClientSecret(clientSecret)
.WithAuthority(authority)
.Build();
var signedInUser = new ClaimsPrincipal(notification.AuthenticationTicket.Identity);
try
{
var apiScope = "catalog.Read, Category.Read";
string[] scopes = apiScope.Split(' ');
var result = await idClient.AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCode(
scopes, notification.Code).ExecuteAsync();
//rest of the code to call the api for both scope
// and if i have to do add some code to controller
Not sure if you are still looking for an answer but here it goes.
Once you get the accessToken with required scope, you just need to add it as Authorization Header when you make a call to the API:
const string Scheme = "Bearer";
var httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, url);
httpRequestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue(Scheme, result.AccessToken);
var result = await httpClient.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage)

Search Users within Graph API

In my C# application I am trying to search for a User via Graph API. The only parameter I have is the username which is stored in onPremisesSamAccountName field.
Through Graph Explorer I can successfully run the query
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$count=true&$search="onPremisesSamAccountName:myusername"&$select=id,displayName
And Graph Explorer gives me the C# code to use
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient( authProvider );
var users = await graphClient.Users
.Request()
.Search("onPremisesSamAccountName:myusername")
.Select("id,displayName")
.GetAsync();
Now when I try to use that code I get an error saying that Search is not a method, do I need to add an extra package to use Search?
I also didn't find any nuget package with Search method.
You can specify search value by using query option. $search query parameter requires a request header ConsistencyLevel: eventual
var queryOptions = new List<Option>()
{
new QueryOption("$search", "\"onPremisesSamAccountName:myusername\""),
new HeaderOption("ConsistencyLevel", "eventual")
};
var users = await graphClient.Users
.Request(queryOptions)
.Select("id,displayName")
.GetAsync();

A simple ASP .NET MVC API controller using roles

I wrote a web application using ASP .NET MVC and authorization system by default. I configured IdentityRole and input through external providers. Using the current database I have created my data context. Now I want to write a Xamarin.Android app and connect to my database, I want a simple API. But the feature that you want to access this API was only available to user with a certain role. The API is really very simple and therefore do not want to add to the draft WCF or WebAPI project. How to do it best?
First, you don't need a separate project to use Web Api; you can use both MVC and Web Api in the same project. For one off endpoints for things like in-site AJAX requests, just creating MVC actions that return JSON or XML would be fine, but if you're talking about a true API, even if it's fairly simplistic, I'd say go Web Api.
You'd protect your Web Api actions much the same as you would your MVC actions, using the [Authorize] attribute. If you need to restrict by role, you just pass a role(s) to that. However, the big difference here, especially if you're serving a mobile app, is that you'll need pass the authorization along with the request. That's generally accomplished using the Authorization header along with a bearer token. Basically, you would need to set up an endpoint that signs a user in and returns a token. Then, each subsequent request that needs authorization includes that token in the header.
I want to finish and to fully answer this question and close this topic. I've been searching for how to add the ability for a mobile client to connect to an existing site on ASP.NET MVC. In my search, I came across a great article Justin Hyland on March 2, 2014
In principle, everything in this article is well and clearly written, but I want to make a tiny contribution for clarity.
Under Setup WebAPIConfig stated that the need
added in the following code to the WebApiConfig Register method
But if we consider the case ASP.NET MVC we don't have such file. It's all very simple, you just need such a file to create the folder App_Start. The contents of the file can be left exactly as it is in the article.
To get rid of the bugs which will inevitably appear we need to install two nuget package: Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi and Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Owin.
Excellent! Now we can turn to the method to obtain the token and then adding the token to the query we can get the needed data closed by the attribute [Authorize].
A small remark. If You need to access a method which is closed for a specific role that to the Authenticate method from the article should add a few lines of code. Immediately after the line:
identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user));
add the line:
identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, role));
where role you can get the following, for example:
var userIdentity = UserManager.FindAsync(user, password).Result;
var role = RoleManager.FindById(userIdentity.Roles.First().RoleId).Name;
User and password you have to send a request.
I also want to give an example of code which will send request and receive response. To not have to look for and immediately start coding.
async Task<string> GetToken(string userName, string password)
{
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>( "user", userName ),
new KeyValuePair<string, string> ( "password", password )
}
);
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(APP_PATH + "/Authenticate", content);
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return result;
}
}
async Task<string> GetUserInfo(string token)
{
using (var client = CreateClient(token))
{
var response = await client.GetAsync(APP_PATH + "/ValidateToken");
return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}
HttpClient CreateClient(string accessToken = "")
{
var client = new HttpClient();
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(accessToken))
{
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);
}
return client;
}
All have only to call the appropriate methods in the correct order. I hope that is useful to someone.
P.S.
If You create a new project in Visual Studio to get this functionality you just need to tick:

How do I work with Google Analytics oAuth in a WebAPI?

I am building an extension for open source ASP.NET CMS Umbraco where I want to fetch the analytic's from the user's account once they have authorised via oAuth.
The example MVC 4 snippet over on the Google API .NET wikiw page for oAuth seems to only work with a controller and not a WebAPI controller as far as I can tell, is this right?
AuthorizationCodeMvcApp(this, new AppFlowMetaData()).AuthorizeAsync(cancellationToken);
The first parameter in the example expects it to be a regular MVC Controller
https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/source/browse/Src/GoogleApis.Auth.Mvc4/OAuth2/Mvc/AuthorizationCodeMvcApp.cs
So my question is really, how do I work with oAuth with a WebAPI in mind, as I want to return stats back from the API as JSON from the WebAPI so I can use a client side library such as AngularJS to bind the JSON returned to the HTML view?
I would love for any ideas, feedback or suggestions on how I could solve this please.
Thanks,
Warren :)
I have looked into your problem and the i have tested the service account solution. It's tricky to setup but when it runs it works.
This is the code I used in a webapi controller :
String serviceAccountEmail = "805395301940-cu3nhkuqi4ipa3453o276bar5u2e70lq#developer.gserviceaccount.com";
var cert = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/key.p12");
var certificate = new X509Certificate2(cert, "notasecret", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
ServiceAccountCredential credential = new ServiceAccountCredential(
new ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(serviceAccountEmail)
{
Scopes = new[] { AnalyticsService.Scope.Analytics }
}.FromCertificate(certificate));
var service = new AnalyticsService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
HttpClientInitializer = credential
});
//var ga = service.Data.Ga.Get("ga:31335471", "2013-01-01", "2013-01-31", "ga:visits");
// Not Working Currently in Beta
//var ga = service.Data.Realtime.Get("ga:31335471", "ga:activeVisitors");
var ga = service.Management.Profiles.List("~all", "~all");
return ga.Execute();

How to do function tests for TWITTER API

I am creating a web app for a project. I want to allow my users to post there blogs onto twitter using the twitter API. they will generate a blog inside my website and if they would like to share their blog via twitter. No so much testing if the Twitter API works, more as if it works inside of my website, as in if my syntax is appropriate, and if how i am incorporating it is correct. Its for a class project.
Assuming you are using C# / ASP.NET, you would be writing a class to make your API calls which can be tested independently. I would suggest downloading the open source Twitterizer DLL and plugging that into your web project, mostly for the OAuth implementation.
So, if you were posting a Tweet, you could write a static method as follows:
public static bool CreateTweet(Twitterizer.OAuthTokens tokens, string tweetText)
{
var response = Twitterizer.TwitterStatus.Update(tokens, text);
return response.Result == Twitterizer.RequestResult.Success;
}
And your test code would look like this:
void Test()
{
var tokens = new Tw.OAuthTokens
{
_accessToken,
_accessTokenSecret,
_consumerKey,
_consumerSecret,
};
var testTweet = "test tweet text";
CreateTweet(tokens, testTweet);
}
You would need to obtain the tokens either via Twitter's login process or have them stored if you don't expect users to log in.
And then basically the test code above would be moved into the appropriate piece of code-behind in your ASP.NET application and it should just work!
