Microsoft Graph API - Get directory objects from a list of ids - Bad request












0















I need to get a list of groups that the user is a member of using Microsoft Graph API.



For this, I am using the endpoint POST /users/<userId>/getMemberGroups (doc). This works fine but the problem is that the response is only a list of group object ids. I need to get group properties too. I could just loop through the list and query API for GET /groups/<groupId> but this takes too long when the user has multiple groups.



Then I found POST /directoryObjects/getById (doc) which turns that list into what I need. I have followed the doc page exactly but I am getting the following error:



Request_BadRequest - Specified HTTP method is not allowed for the request target. (HTTP status 405)



What am I doing wrong? Is the method getById bugged? If it is, is there any alternative way to turn a list of group object ids into groups or to get full list of user groups?

          The API Get directory objects from a list of ids you mentioned should work, I test it in the MS Graph Explorer, it works fine.



          Make sure you use POST method, I can reproduce your issue with another method.



          enter image description here



          You could refer to the informations below and try again.



          Request URL:



          POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/directoryObjects/getByIds


          Request Body:



          {
          "ids": [
          "xxxxxxxx-9f1b-4f28-a408-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "xxxxxxxx-a614-4335-81eb-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "xxxxxxxx-e500-49d6-a705-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "xxxxxxxx-5be3-41eb-864d-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "xxxxxxxx-961d-4db9-87cf-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
          "xxxxxxxx-93bf-4950-8d96-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
          ],
          "types": [
          "group"
          ]
          }


          Result:

          • I tried doing it in Graph Explorer yesterday using POST method and it still failed. Now I tried it again and it worked. I think the explorer might have just bugged out somehow (or I made a typo somewhere...). Thanks! :)
