CreateReply is returning a 500 error - microsoft-graph-api

I just tried this request according to the documentation here
The message ID in this URL is the id of an email that I just retrieved from GET /me/messages
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/{id}/createReplyAll
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXSiOBJiV1QiLCJub25jZSI6Ik{....}
This is what comes back:
"error": {
"code": "InternalServerError",
"message": "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "a4c28622-0914-44da-8e67-6eb7ee59dc84",
"date": "2017-10-09T19:07:00"
}
}
I'm left to guess whether this is
A bad request (the 500 error doesn't seem to imply that)
This type of email is special and cannot be accessed or replied to for some reason (?) or
I found a bug and this is my bug report.
The same happens for /createReply endpoint as well

I just reproduced this as well. Remove the Content-Type header to fix this. It seems the server is running into a bad error case when you say there's JSON in the body, but the body is empty :). This is definitely a bug in that we should never return a 500.
And I see that the Graph docs say that the header is required, even though there's no body. That seems like a doc bug to me.
I'll report up to the right folks.

Thanks; that header had been left in there as an oversight. FYI I removed the header in the 3 topics for createForward, createReply, and createReplyAll in v1.0 of Microsoft Graph. The updates will be live within 24 hours.

issue with Microsoft graph api with forward slashes "/" in /me/events/{id}

I am having a similar issue to the post described here.
How to get an event ID from the HitID returned by a Microsoft Graph search query?
In my case I am not trying to do a patch, but just a lookup via the v1.0/me/events/{id} get request. I am using the search API of Microsoft graph API. It returns me a HitId with forward slashes in it. I tried to resolve it in the exact same way as the post describes, but cant seem to get it to work. My id parameter is:
AAMkADgwZjlhNmJjLWNiMGQtNGE5MS1hMDVkLTNkNTU2ZWE5ZmM5ZgBGAAAAAAAjq0f6CrWJSoJ6oKcYbrJfBwAyr2CWzX9CSrX7fgfr1AFOAAAAAAENAAAyr2CWzX9CSrX7fgfr1AFOAAV/rENQAAA=
I replaced the / with %252F and the call still fails. The new request id is:
AAMkADgwZjlhNmJjLWNiMGQtNGE5MS1hMDVkLTNkNTU2ZWE5ZmM5ZgBGAAAAAAAjq0f6CrWJSoJ6oKcYbrJfBwAyr2CWzX9CSrX7fgfr1AFOAAAAAAENAAAyr2CWzX9CSrX7fgfr1AFOAAV%252FrENQAAA=
which still fails in exactly the same way. To isolate the problem I used Microsoft Graph API explorer to test the request, which returns the following error message
{
"error": {
"code": "RequestBroker--ParseUri",
"message": "Resource not found for the segment 'rENQAAA='.",
"innerError": {
"date": "2021-03-18T07:48:24",
"request-id": "83cecc8b-f510-4cf0-b5f1-e4cd5f09e223",
"client-request-id": "530677e9-fa2d-a842-149e-a8db4939f3b8"
}
}
}
I cant seem to find any suitable documentation on how to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Where ever you get / simply replace it with -. This will resolve your issue.

Making a simple authorized request to eBay

I'm planning to integrate a website with eBay using PHP, but first I'm using Postman to test everything.
Authorization took me an entire day, but I think I've got it working now. (I had to update to the latest version of Postman, then I got it to create a token for me.)
I say I think because I haven't managed to get a single request to work. I deliberately chose bulkGetInventoryItem (documentation) as it seemed like one of the easier authorized requests to get working. I just know that when the authentication settings are wrong, I get a different error message to when they are right.
For troubleshooting reasons, I made a token with all the scopes:
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.marketing
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.inventory
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.account
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.fulfillment
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.finances
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/sell.payment.dispute
https://api.ebay.com/oauth/api_scope/commerce.identity.readonly
(added as space-separated list of links)
I have changed one of the eBay listings to have an SKU of "123456" just for this test, however the error I get is exactly the same as if I change "sku": "123456" to "sku": "anObviouslyFakeSKU", but anything else I change creates a new error, so I'm suspecting the issue to be SKU related, but maybe it isn't. (I've found the eBay API to be very poor at sending relevant error messages.)
I'm quite new to Postman, so it's likely a rookie mistake.
Earlier errors have shown to be minor punctuation issues or wrong radio buttons ticked, so hopefully whatever the error is this time, it should appear in this screenshot.
What did I do wrong this time? (Let me know if there are any other screenshots I can send that might help.)
To help, both with the post's SEO, and ease of copy/pasting, I am transcribing the important text in the screenshot above:
url
POST https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/bulk_get_inventory_item
body, raw
{
"requests": [
{
"sku": "123456"
}
]
}
output
{
"errors": [
{
"errorId": 2003,
"domain": "ACCESS",
"category": "APPLICATION",
"message": "Internal error",
"longMessage": "There was a problem with an eBay internal system or process. Contact eBay developer support for assistance",
"parameters": [
{
"name": "reason",
"value": "Failed to transform underlying error response, see logs."
}
]
}
]
}

Update 2:

A few things you need to check for in Postman.
When you authenticate and receive a token are you posting that token with your api calls like this one POST https://api.ebay.com/sell/inventory/v1/bulk_get_inventory_item?
Have you set the Authorization HTTP header for authentication authorization?
Have you set the Content-Type header for the call to application/json?
More info here: https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/resources/inventory_item/methods/bulkGetInventoryItem
Update
Authorization with environment variable in Postman:
Postman environment variables documentation:
https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman/variables-and-environments/variables/
I figured out the issue. My biggest mistake was choosing bulkGetInventoryItem as the "simplest" call. I should have chosen getInventoryItem, as the error reporting on that function is far more user friendly.
So the error I got, for exactly the same request was "We didn't find the entity you are requesting. Please verify the request"
A quick google of the error found me this page https://forums.developer.ebay.com/questions/17883/cannot-get-my-listed-product-by-get-inventory-api.html which led me to the correct answer!
The inventory item I was trying to access was unreachable because it was not created through the developer API.
I hope this answer helps others, as it wasted a full day of my life trying getInventoryItem before tackling bulkGetInventoryItem.

Microsoft Graph API - SendMail http 400 - API url from documentation not working

My application sends email using Microsoft Graph. We followed the documentation, this was working as expected for almost a year:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/me/microsoft.graph.sendmail
Since 3/8/2019, the same code sendmail API in PROD started failing with the HTTP 400 - Bad Request:
{
"error": {
"code": "TargetIdShouldNotBeMeOrWhitespace",
"message": "Id is malformed.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "0de5a4eb-dac4-4d98-a4b4-178e503a6657",
"date": "2019-03-19T17:16:20"
}
}
}
As a part of the investigation, we found that the SendMail documentation has a different URL used in the examples than the API help section. We were successful when calling this URL:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendmail
Questions:
Clearly looks like there was some update on the Graph API happened around 3/8/2019 that disabled working of the earlier URL
Documentation has 2 URL's that are misleading/confusing: one is the API help section and one in examples. As of now the API URL in the help section is no longer working. That should be fixed with the correct URL to be used.
Why was such breaking change like this introduced that caused a PROD outage for our application?
What is the official channel to get these changes?
The correct URI is https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/microsoft.graph.sendmail (not /me)
The correct API route is: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/sendMail

Microsoft Graph Calendar API - TargetIdShouldNotBeMeOrWhitespace error

We use Microsoft Graph API's to create a calendar in outlook
Following is the HTTP Request
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/me/calendars
Content-type: application/json
{
"name": "My Calendar"
}
It was working for the last 2 years. Suddenly it is throwing an error as
{
"error": {
"code": "TargetIdShouldNotBeMeOrWhitespace",
"message": "Id is malformed.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "78bce863-d6fb-4ea9-b0f8-e5097010cef6",
"date": "2019-03-23T11:54:34"
}
}
}
When we searched the documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-post-calendars?view=graph-rest-1.0).
We found the API URL has been changed
When was a critical update like this was rolled out which caused breakage in our flows?
Is there any official channel/group notifying these changes.
similar question for mail API's Microsoft Graph API - SendMail http 400 - API url from documentation not working
The correct URI is /me, not /users/me. Behind the scenes, /me is just an alias for /users/{id}. Asking for /users/me would be the equivalent of asking for /users/users/me.
It sounds like you were making use of an unintended behavior. It stopped working when that behavior was corrected.

GraphApi API error codes

I am attempting to create a interface between our web application and the GraphApi.
I am currently struggling to handle error correctly as the documentation for graph API seems to be at best incomplete. Is there a reference to full list of errors one should expect.
An example of the issue is where I make a request after my access token has expired. The error code is not on the list (graph.microsoft.io docs/overview/errors page) and in a different format (capitalization). It also seems to vary drastically from the azure error codes such as "Request_BadRequest". This was found in an MSDN article titled "Error codes and error handling | Graph API concepts".
The document states "You may use the information returned here instead of, or in addition to the HTTP status code returned.". However, this is really hard if they are changing despite being out of beta.
example of an error response body:
{ "error": {
"code": "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
"message": "Access token has expired.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "267438d2-4cc5-4621-9307-2af26d2f5b49",
"date": "2016-02-16T13:30:24"
}
}
}
