User profile photo synchronization

Question

Hi,

I am trying to synchronize users profile pictures to some external systems. Currently I know I can use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http to get a list of users and then go to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/profilephoto-get?view=graph-rest-1.0 for every user in order to get their user profile photo information and do whatever I need to do with it from there.

I'm curious if there is a better way, is there any way for Graph to send a notification to us via an api call or something similar when a user has updated their profile image, so that we only download and update ones that have changed?

Thanks!

Hi @Farmer, Jeremy , So far, you could subscribe to /users endpoint and receive a notification when user properties updated. However, it is not yet supported for user/photo endpoints.
Please refer this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/webhooks?view=graph-rest-1.0
Hope this helps, wish you all the best.
