Select fields on Microsoft Graph list of Messages - microsoft-graph-api

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.

jira createmeta not showing all customfields

If I navigate to /rest/api/2/issue/createmeta/PROJ/issuetype/N (in this case, I'm getting Task), the list of fields returned is incomplete. There are a number of customfields that are in use (I can see them both in the tickets themselves, and also in /plugins/servlet/project-config/PROJ/fields ) that are in the createmeta data.
I'm really trying to do this in python jira, where I'm using "expand='projects.issuetypes.fields'" in the createmeta() call, but I figured I'd double-check the results in the rest API directly, and I'm getting the same results there, too.
This is happening in jira 8.20.7.
Essentially, what I'm trying to do, is to programatically get a name/id mapping of all fields in the ticket type. I'm having far more difficulty doing that than I thought there would be. I would do it based on /rest/api/2/field but the jira admins have allowed some duplicated names...
EDIT: I realized that it might be worth noting that some of the fields I'm looking for are coming from a ServiceDesk form, although, as far as I can tell, there's no way to determine that, since one of the missing fields contains the name of the form.
Why are you using createmeta endpoint?
Instead of that, in order to get all of the customfields and their values; just note their id and get the values from /rest/api/2/issue/{issueKey} endpoint.
When you send a GET request to /rest/api/2/issue/{issueKey} endpoint, you will get a JSON object which contains "fields" object in it.
And using the "fields" you can determine all of the values that include system fields (description, assignee, etc.) and custom fields (like customfield_<customfieldid>).
And for a general approach, you may want to look at the field types in that response.

ServiceNow Rest API (using PowerBI)

I'm on a project in which I need to get data from a ServiceNow instance and treat all data with PowerBI. I'm able to retrieve a big amount of data (Snow collect a lot of data), but I still need a way to filter data correctly. I'm calling to this URL:
Besides, I want also to apply a filter to retrieve just some specific registries from the table Requested Items. For that, I use the sysparm_query parameter to filter the field "cmdb_ci" and more specifically it's "name", something like:
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci=What I need to Filter
Apart from this, I have also tried:
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.value=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.display_value=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.sys_id=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.name=What I need to Filter
But still not found the solution... as all these does not respond the solution needed.
Does someone know how I can manage this?
Thanks!!

There are two "Configuration item" fields in sc_req_item: cmdb_ci and configuration_item. Make sure that you are using the correct one. Either cmdb_ci.name=value or configuration_item.name=value should work, depending on which of the two fields you are using. cmdb_ci.value and cmdb_ci.display_value will not work as there are no fields on the record with these names. cmdb_ci.sys_id should work if you are supplying a sys_id (although it is redundant to type .sys_id for a reference field).
You should first verify your query through the ServiceNow UI before attempting to use it in an API call.
Type sc_req_item.list in the Filter navigator
On the filter list select "Show related fields"
Get your filter to work correctly
Right-click on the filter and select "Copy query"
The next step is to test it using the REST API Explorer.
Final step is to configure your client tool (PowerBI).

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.

How to get List Items from sharepoint using Graph API

I want to get a collection of ListItem from a Sharepoint List (O365) using Microsoft Graph. I have used the following URI but it is returninga "Bad Request" error.
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/{id}/lists/{id}/items/{id}?expand=fields(select=Title,Product)
First, you really shouldn't use the /beta Graph in production code. It is not stable and breaking changes can (and do) happen without warning. Unless you have a very specific need, always use /v1.0.
I believe your problem here is that you're attempting to select Title from the Fields collection. This property isn't actually a member of Fields, it is part of the ListItem itself. Try this instead:
?$select=title,fields&$expand=$fields($select=product)

Microsoft Graph HonorNonIndexedQueriesWarningMayFailRandomly Error when filtering SharePoint Online lists

I'm using ms-graph with SharePoint Online.
I've a simple list with a single title column and 3 items.
I use the following ms-graph call to filter items by title:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/root:/lists/list-guid/items?expand=fields&filter=startswith(fields/Title,%27fig%27)
The result is an error message:
Field 'Title' cannot be referenced in filter or orderby as it is not indexed. Provide the 'Prefer: HonorNonIndexedQueriesWarningMayFailRandomly' header to allow this, but be warned that such queries may fail on large lists.
I know that this call was working before and also when I use SharePoint REST API then I can filter the list without any problems. I also tried different tenants.
Another fact is that the same call is working without the startswith filter.
Few days ago I had a different message for the same call.
"Field 'Title' cannot be referenced in filter or orderby as it is not indexed. Provide the 'allowthrottleablequeries' preference to allow this, but be warned that such queries may fail on large lists."
Regarding the following error:
Field 'Title' cannot be referenced in filter or orderby as it is not
indexed. Provide the 'Prefer:
HonorNonIndexedQueriesWarningMayFailRandomly' header to allow this,
but be warned that such queries may fail on large lists.
at least two options are available to surpass this error while filtering.
Option 1. Add an index to a SharePoint column
Once the index to a SharePoint column which participates in filtering is created, the error should no longer appear.
Option 2. Append header Prefer:HonorNonIndexedQueriesWarningMayFailRandomly
As the error message states append the specified header to request, for example in Graph Explorer:
Just checked the Graph API Explorer and found out that you can use allowthrottleablequeries rather than HonorNonIndexedQueriesWarningMayFailRandomly
Try to send your request with the following Request Header
Prefer: allowthrottleablequeries
