Office365 Notification API not updated, property 'ChangeType' does not exist

Everyone,

According this link, Microsoft Office365 Notification API, in order to create a simple webhook, i should do:

POST https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/subscriptions HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

{
   @odata.type:"#Microsoft.OutlookServices.PushSubscription",
   ResourceURL: "https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/events",
   CallbackURL: "https://webhook.azurewebsites.net/api/send/myNotifyClient",  
   ChangeType: "Created",
   ClientState: "c75831bd-fad3-4191-9a66-280a48528679"
}

and adding the access token in headers of course as well, i did try and each time i get the following result:

{u'error': {u'message': u"The property 'ChangeType' does not exist on type 'Microsoft.OutlookServices.PushSubscription'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type.", u'code': u'RequestBodyRead'}}

So basically, since i simply copy their examples, should i have to assume that their API documentation is outdated?

Thanks a lot for your answer

  • Yes, the beta endpoint was updated. You're likely in the transitional phase where it was renamed to changeType. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/exchangedev/archive/2015/10/21/outlook-rest-api-changes-to-beta-endpoint-part-iii.aspx for full details.
