General Exception when creating Site Pages through Graph API - microsoft-graph-api

I'm having an issue where i'm receiving a general exception when trying to create site pages through Microsoft Graph API beta endpoints even in Graph Explorer, I'm at a loss at what it could be as i'm using the sample provided in the documentation.
I'm using the following request:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{siteId}/pages
{
"name":"Events.aspx",
"title":"Team Events",
"publishingState": {
"level":"checkedOut",
"versionId":"0.1"
},
"webParts":[
{
"type":"rte",
"innerHTML":"<p>Here are the teams upcoming events:</p>"
}
]
}
and its returning this response
{
"error": {
"code": "generalException",
"message": "General exception while processing",
"innerError": {
"date": "2020-11-18T05:11:16",
"request-id": "09efb46d-f393-46c8-a8ff-450815c85d35",
"client-request-id": "0ef11da8-832e-47d8-ed5d-1192343af8fa"
}
}
}

I had exactly the same problem, and stumbled across this StackOverflow post.
Creating pages on sharepoint site with microsoft graph
Basically, there is an issue with the docs. The innerHTML key needs to be wrapped inside a data key.
So you would be calling the following:
{
"name":"Events.aspx",
"title":"Team Events",
"publishingState": {
"level":"checkedOut",
"versionId":"0.1"
},
"webParts":[
{
"type":"rte",
"data": {
"innerHTML":"<p>Here are the teams upcoming events:</p>"
}
}
]
}

If you are making your request exactly as shown in the question, the issue may be the URL. The {siteId} part of your POST URL is a placeholder.
You will want to replace {siteId} with your site ID
For example, if your siteID is ABC123, then the URL for your POST would be:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/ABC123/pages

Teams Export API not allowing me to filter by channel

I'm trying to use the Teams Export API to export a single Teams channel. I have my permissions set up properly; if I make a request to
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{TEAM_ID}/channels/getAllMessages (without specifying a filter), I get the paginated results of all of the channel messages on my team. If I copy the sample datetime filters in that documentation, I also get a successful response with the appropriate results.
A successful response gives me a list of messages. Each one shows a channelIdentity field, which contains a channelId (fields removed for readability):
{
"value": [
{
"channelIdentity": {
"teamId": "{TEAM ID}",
"channelId": "{CHANNEL ID}"
},
},
]
}
What I want is to use this channelIdentity/channelId field as a filter on the results, so that I can export just the messages from a single channel.
If I run GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{TEAM_ID}/channels/getAllMessages?$filter=channelIdentity/channelId eq '{CHANNEL ID}', I get an error:
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "The entity property 'channelIdentity/channelId' and operationKind 'Equal' is not allowed in $filter query.",
"innerError": {
"date": "2022-11-16T23:47:06",
"request-id": "...",
"client-request-id": "..."
}
}
}
This reads to me like I'm not allowed to use eq with this ID. If I try a 'starts with', I get a different error:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{TEAM_ID}/channels/getAllMessages?$filter=startswith(channelIdentity/teamId, '{CHANNEL ID}')
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Only binary operation expressions are allowed.",
"innerError": {
"date": "2022-11-17T00:11:26",
"request-id": "...",
"client-request-id": "..."
}
}
}
I'm unclear on what this is trying to say - either the ID starts with that phrase or it doesn't; it seems like a binary expression to me.
Is there some other approach I should use to get these results filtered by channel ID?
This API is designed to export everything from a team for backup/archival scenario. So, filtering by a specific channel is not supported now.
If you wish you may suggest this feature on Microsoft Feedback portal.
Any reason why you don't use List Channel Messages?
You can then make a GET call against this URL:
"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{teamid}/channels/{channel id}/messages"
Note - as per that link you will need to Request access:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-protected-apis
One other method, if you are using Graph Explorer, is add the signed-in user to the team as an owner, and it will let you test this method, you just won't be able to call via an App Registration until you do fill out that form.

Microsoft Graph SharePoint access items (read/write)

I am attempting to create a new list item in SharePoint Online using the [beta] Microsoft Graph endpoint. The goal is to call Microsoft Graph from an Outlook Add-in but the problem persists on Postman.
When I call the endpoint as per the documentation I get the following error message:
{
"error": {
"code": "unauthenticated",
"message": "The caller is not authenticated.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "bb094f39-71c9-4c7d-9d9b-913cc9622baf",
"date": "2017-08-08T11:32:02"
}
}
}
I'm using ADAL JS to fetch the authentication token and I initialized my AuthenticationContext with my tenantID. My app has the following permissions: offline_access, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, User.Read
2nd Edit - more details on readItem
I use the https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items endpoint with the {site-id} of my desired site from /sites and the {list-id} of the list from /sites/{site-id}/lists but this is the empty response I get:
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/...",
"value": []
}
If I try to to add /{item-id} to my original call to access specific item I receive this response:
{
"error": {
"code": "itemNotFound",
"message": "The specified list was not found",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "6e7ccae3-3aee-4dbb-ae3e-de61250478e0",
"date": "2017-08-09T13:13:33"
}
}
}
Which doesn't make sense because I can retrieve valid information about the list if i make the call without /items/..
Any and all input appreciated :) I'll gladly provide more code, this is all I deemed relevant and didn't want to overcrowd the post.
might be that you actually don't have an item with that id, since https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/1 works for me.
test the id's you really have by just https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items and each item returns it's id.

Unable to access the Sharepoint List using Microsoft Graph API--

Working with the Microsoft graph api and especially the sharepoint beta api and i am constantly running into issues. I know its beta, but still;)
SO the issue is When i tried to access the sharepoint list using Graph API in graph explorer
URL is: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}
So SiteID i am passing my site tenant GUID and List ID as Sharepoint List GUID
and i am facing the error continously in Response
{
"error": {
"code": "invalidRequest",
"message": "Provided id is not suitable for the current host",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "61efc5b1-88f8-442c-a41d-7213b587318e",
"date": "2017-05-10T07:38:04"
}
}
}
IF any one also has faced this issue please let me know the solution you have resolved
The format of the ID's for sites have changed as part of a set of updates to the API this week. The new format is documented here, but it includes the SharePoint hostname, SPSite.ID, and SPWeb.ID as a triplet:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/contoso.sharepoint.com,fc016e3c-d8ae-4ee0-a10c-de6d26788b6a,9a4ea7a5-c3c4-44ae-9f80-273bd67431b8
If you add the hostname into your IDs, your calls should start working again. You can discover the hostname by making a request to:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/root/siteCollection/hostname
You can also search for sites now using the following search syntax:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites?search={keyword}
#Ryan Gregg has the correct answer
The SiteId is not just one GUID but a combination of <HostName,SPSite.ID,SPWeb.ID>.
Example: <contoso.sharepoint.com,fc016e3c-d8ae-4ee0-a10c-de6d26788b6a,9a4ea7a5-c3c4-44ae-9f80-273bd67431b8>
The whole string in the above example is what you should pass for {SiteId} in your request
If you dont have the SPSite.ID but have the URL for the site, you can make a GRAPH API call with relative path to the site
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/Documetation
This call will return all the properties for the site and you can grab the full SiteId from here:
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#sites/$entity",
"createdDateTime": "2020-04-23T12:18:48.653Z",
"description": "Documentation",
"id": "contoso.sharepoint.com,fc016e3c-d8ae-4ee0-a10c-de6d26788b6a,9a4ea7a5-c3c4-44ae-9f80-273bd67431b8",
"lastModifiedDateTime": "2020-12-09T19:17:21Z",
"name": "Documentation",
"webUrl": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/Documentation",
"displayName": "Documentation",
"root": {},
"siteCollection": {
"hostname": "contoso.sharepoint.com"
}
}
Try https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{siteCollectionId},{siteId}/lists
You can find these ids from https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/site/sites

Micorsoft Graph API Responsibilites Update

I am attempting to update the responsibilities field on a user account through the Graph API.
I am attempting to do this using the following request:
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/<upn>
{
"responsibilities":[
"ApprovalLimit:0"
]
}
When i make this request, I get the response:
{
"error": {
"code": "-2147024809, System.ArgumentException",
"message": "Invalid attribute update\r\nParameter name: attributeUpdates",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "1be313f3-880b-47de-858d-1bea74951715",
"date": "2017-03-06T09:29:21"
}
}
}
However, when I attempt to update the schools collection, which is also a String collection, this works without issue.
This is the same with both beta and v1.0 and also with the /me endpoint rather than /users/<upn>.
Is this a bug within the API?
Any ideas about how to set this?
Thanks in advance.
I am also able to reproduce this issue too. Based on the error message, it seems this attribute is not support update at current version of Microsoft Graph.
If you want to this attribute is update-able, I suggest that you submit the feedback from here.

Unable to filter messages by recipient in Microsoft Graph Api. One or more invalid nodes

I am trying to get a list of messages that are filtered by recipient from Microsoft Graph API. The url I am using for the request is:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$filter=toRecipients/any(r: r/emailAddress/address eq '[Email Address]')
But I am getting this is the response:
{
"error": {
"code": "ErrorInvalidUrlQueryFilter",
"message": "The query filter contains one or more invalid nodes.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "7db712c3-e337-49d9-aa8d-4a5d350d8480",
"date": "2016-09-28T16:58:34"
}
}
}
A successful request should look like this (with a lot more data that I have omitted).
{
"#odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#users('99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999')/messages",
"#odata.nextLink": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$skip=10",
"value": [
{
"toRecipients": [
{
"emailAddress": {
"name": "[Name]",
"address": "[Email Address]"
}
}
],
}
]
}
The request works if I remove the filter, and I am able to perform requests with simpler filters.
Is there a problem with my URL, or is there another way to make the request?
Another way to make the request might be to not use filter and use search instead, depending on exactly what you want (and you may have already tried this):
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages?$search="to:[Email Address]"
After several hours looking for the solution, I found in the office365 documentation that the property toRecipients is not filterable:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/complex-types-for-mail-contacts-calendar#MessageResource
I guess that it's the same in the graph api. So the only solution is using search.
