Getting list of all documents from share point

I am trying to implement functionality where I can get list of documents from share-point.I have tried this demo code from Azure directory implementation and login to account and also got details about sites and user data from graph API.

https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ms-identity-android-kotlin

I am able to get site data from graph API :

But when I am trying to get list then getting error or no value

I have also passed this authorization token to REST API but that too doesn't work.

Solution

  • You can try with scope Sites.ReadWrite.All instead of User.read, as I tested it using Graph Explorer and I got access denied as the scope permission was not consented. After I consent the permission, it worked .

    Example 1:

    Before Consent:

    After Constent:

    I have created a test list on the Communication Site.

    After that when I query for lists , I successfully get the above one I created.

    Example 2 :

    I also tested it using a Application registered to Azure AD. It didn't return me any error or any value as well when I queried for lists using that app's credential's from Powershell.

    After I add Sites.ReadWrite.All to the App's API permission's .

    enter image description here

    I can successfully get the Values of the lists.

    To summarize it , it could be resolved in 2 ways :

    1. Changing the Scope shown on the screenshot given by you to Sites.ReadWrite.All instead of User.Read.
    2. Adding API permissions to the APP registration in the Azure AD for Microsoft Graph as shown in the example 2 second image.
