How can I share a Microsoft OneNote note/section/notebook between a list of emails using OneNote API, Office 365 API or OneDrive API in a MVC website?

Question

I need to be able to create OneNote notes/sections/notebooks and to share them between a certain list of users from a Asp .NET MVC website. How could I do that?

After spending some time in searching for support for sharing in the API, I came to a dead end. For now the OneNote API offers support for creating, updating notes, but no sharing yet. Now I'm starting to consider other solutions. — Marius, Jan 19 '16 at 12:49

We can use OneNote API to manipulate the content of OneNote. Then we need to share the OneNote with users manually. For example, we can get a link then share the link in the MVC web site.

This is possible using the ONEDRIVE API.

You can create a sharing link for a sharepoint item with a POST request as described at https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/beta/api/item_createlink

For example:

POST /drive/root:/{item-path}:/microsoft.graph.createLink Content-type: application/json

{
    "type": "view",
    "scope": "anonymous"
}

will create a guest link to the OneNote notebook with read access.

You have to enable this in Sharepoint admin centre as per this link:
