I'm trying to find a way in Sharepoint Graph API how download file in Document library that are not listed as drive (Site Pages and others). If I enumerating lists, I see "Site Pages" in lists:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site id>/lists

I even can enumerate item in list :

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<site id>/lists/<list id>/items

But I can't find a way to get a content (download) those items (files). All available url to download file (get content) are next:

GET /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/content
GET /groups/{group-id}/drive/items/{item-id}/content
GET /me/drive/root:/{item-path}:/content
GET /me/drive/items/{item-id}/content
GET /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{item-id}/content
GET /users/{userId}/drive/items/{item-id}/content

Doesn't provides an ability to get the content. I can't find a way to get drive id for list, and there's no url to get content from list (even if it's documents library).

Please advise. Thanks

You can call the following endpoints to retrieve:

  1. all document libraries on a site
  2. items in a document library (from root)
  3. download the content of an item

This may not be the most efficient set of queries but I successfully tested in my lab tenant.

  1. https://graph.microsoft.com/(version)/sites/(site-id)/drives

  2. https://graph.microsoft.com/(version)/sites/(site-id)/drive/(drive-id)/root/children

  3. https://graph.microsoft.com/(version)/sites/(site-id)/drive/(drive-id)/items/(item-id)/content

  • Note that I specified site-id as (hostname),(site-guid),(web-guid) rather than using relative URL syntax. I've seen small differences between the two in past. – Brian T. Jackett MSFT May 09 '20 at 16:10
  • Thanks, what's the difference that you saw? – SlavaG May 09 '20 at 20:18
  • Here is a question with an example. Getting drive / file information yields a 400 Bad Request with relative URL syntax but works fine with GUIDs syntax.

  • Thanks Brian, I see another strange issue, don't know to what it can be related, maybe you know the answer :) : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61678111/sharepoint-graph-api-strange-behaviour-while-trying-to-get-download-link-for-a-f – SlavaG May 10 '20 at 11:49
  • Thanks Brian! This three-step approach was very valuable for me. In Graph API docs, there is nothing about downloading files under Sites nor Lists. I didn't realize I had to look for Drives and Items. – Jari Turkia Sep 06 '22 at 08:41

The drive resource represents a user's OneDrive or a document library in SharePoint. while site page is a page library, not document library, this is why it's not returned in drive request.

We suggest you get the file using SharePoint Rest API.

  • Thanks. But there's an issue with REST : https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/5247 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59737754/sharepoint-rest-api-returns-incomplete-content-of-file-during-downloading - they are suggesting to use Graph API, so it's kind a ping pong. – SlavaG Apr 30 '20 at 12:32
