Microsft graph api query not showing required result - microsoft-graph-api

I am trying to run this query, it runs fine but it is not returning the required output.it shows all events with different startDateTime rather than required. What I am doing wrong? I am running this query in Graph explorer.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/planner/tasks?$filter=startDateTime
eq 2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

Make a call to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/planner/tasks
Use a json parser to parse the output and look for the startDateTime attribute and compare to the dateTime you are interested in.
Please do a +1 on this request here. https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/forums/920506-microsoft-graph-feature-requests/suggestions/38542351-graph-api-planner-api-odata-support-filter

Jira Rest API JQL query

I'm making use of the Jira API with the following call:
https://site.url/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=PROJECT&updated>=startOfWeek(-1w)
When I run this, I'm getting over 6000 results. But when I run the jql query of project = PROJECT AND updated >= startOfWeek(-1w) inside of my Jira sites search bar, I only get around 60 results.
Is there something I'm missing in my api call that would limit the returned to the data to the above query?
Edit
Looking further it appears my call is only bringing back results from my project space and not using the updated query. What should I do so it picks up both?
There is a typo in your query. You have used an ampersand instead of the word 'and'. The ampersand is the character used to add query parameters, so you effectively did this query
https://site.url/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=PROJECT
then Jira just ignored what came after the ampersand, as it didn't know what the parameter 'updated>' was, or how to make it equal 'startOfWeek(-1)'
Within the JQL, you must use the word 'and' with spaces before and after, like this:
https://site.url/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=PROJECT and updated>=startOfWeek(-1w)
Only use ampersands to add other query parameters afterwards, like this:
https://site.url/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=PROJECT and updated>=startOfWeek(-1w)&startAt=0&maxResults=500
Please send the API as POST method:
API: https://url/rest/api/2/search
Body:
{
"jql": "project='project name'&updated>=startOfWeek(-1)"
}

Is it possible to search for messages with a matching substring in body and also a matching date?

I would like to, in a single request, get a list of messages filtered by date and by content in the body (if it's possible, of course).
I'm perfectly able to receive an ok response (200) from the following endpoint:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/user#company.com/messages?search="body:substring"
However, this gives me a broad response, since I'm interested only in cases between a specific week. Also, it's impossible to use a filter parameter along with the search one.
Then, in regard to the date filter, I could use:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/user#company.com/messages?$filter=(sentDateTime ge 2000-01-01) and (sentDateTime le 2100-01-01)
The problem is: I cannot filter the body as well, since I receive an error 400 - 'Bad Request: Invalid filter clause':
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/user#company.com/messages?$filter=contains(body, substring)
Right now, my work around is: I request all the messages from user#company.com regarding a specific week, and after receiving that response, I locally filter the body in my machine. This works, but is not as fast as a compound request.
You can include specific a date restriction within your KQL Search eg
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="(sent>=2019-01-01 AND sent<=2019-02-01) AND (body:asx)"
That should yield better performance then a filter

Retrieving More columns as Part of VSTS query

I'm trying to fetch details from VSTS using VSTS query API. So to get all Portfolio Epics I created a custom query and used its ID to get that in JSON format. the query looks like this
https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/{team}/_apis/wit/wiql/{id}?api-version=5.0-preview.2
But the issue is its not giving me many details about each of the work items in JSON. It only lists the ID and URL. Like this
WorkItems:[
{ID:234,URL:"workitemurl"},
{ID:235,URL:"workitemurl"},
{ID:236,URL:"workitemurl"},
...
]
So if I need more details about an item I need to execute those individual URl for each PE and thus I can get its details. instead of I am just checking is there is any way of getting an ID (keyedinID of each work item along with the ID and URL) like this. Please note KID is a field if we execute the URL separately. So to avoid that extra process, I would like to get that along with the WorkItems.
WorkItems:[
{ID:234,URL:"workitemurl",KID:002},
{ID:235,URL:"workitemurl",KID:023},
{ID:236,URL:"workitemurl",KID:033},
...
]
So how can we make this possible?
The Web UI uses a different API to get query results (/_api/_wit/_query), which allows query+data in a single pass. This is an old __v5 type call, which means it's considered internal.
The proper way to do this now is to first do the query as you're doing it right now and then call /_api/wit/workitems?ids=1,2,3,4 using the IDs from the references you got from the first call. That will also allow you to load the details dynamically and in small batches which will result in a more responsive UI.

Select fields on Microsoft Graph list of Messages

I'm using Microsoft Graph to get a list of messages for a user.
I'm using the following URL
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/mailFolders/inbox/messages
One important thing that is returned by this is the meetingMessageType when the message revolves around a meeting request.
I would also like to get the uniqueBody of the message. However, that's not provided by default. One needs to specifically ask for that field. I can do that by adding ?$select=uniqueBody to the URL.
However, that now means that I need to add the rest of the fields I want to the $select query parameter. That's not a big deal until I run into meetingMessageType. Microsoft Graph returns:
Could not find a property named 'meetingMessageType' on type 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.Message'.
What can I do to ensure I get both uniqueBody and meetingMessageType?
Try this:
$select=uniqueBody, microsoft.graph.eventMessage/meetingMessageType
Yogesh's answer is close but will result in a Only one level select is supported error.
As long as you don't care about the value of meetingMessageType, you can use this select:
$select=microsoft.graph.eventMessage, uniqueBody
You'll note that the results no longer include meetingMessageType as a property. The list however is limited to only those messages that are eventMessage, effectively giving you a result set filtered to only show meeting requests.

YouTube API "published" filter doesn't seem to work

I'm trying to use the YouTube API to return videos that were recently published, but the filter I'm using doesn't seem to work as expected.
This API call only returns two videos whereas there should be tons more that were published after March 1st:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=&fields=entry[xs:dateTime(published)%20%3E%20xs:dateTime('2013-03-01T12:00:00.000Z')]
However, if I add a query string, then many more results are returned. For example:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=surfing&fields=entry[xs:dateTime(published)%20%3E%20xs:dateTime('2013-03-01T12:00:00.000Z')]
Anyone know why? Is there another approach I should be using to just get me the latest videos published regardless of query string?
I understand your confusion, but that's not what the fields= parameter is used for. The documentation should hopefully clear things up, but to summarize, using fields= in that manner is equivalent to making a request without the fields= parameter and then filtering the results of that request so that it only includes the entries that match your filter.
So if your request without fields= would normally return 25 specific videos, adding fields= to it will give you a response that includes somewhere between 0 and 25 videos—all the non-matching videos are filtered out.
You can request a feed of recently published videos without any other filters using http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&orderby=published
