Retrieving InkNode from OneNote using Graph

Question

Hi,
I'd like to extract InkNodes or page contents from OneNote. So far I've been able to successfully make a request to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/onenote/pages/{id}/content. However, most of the notes I'd like to retrieve are written with a Pen, so they're not standard text format.

I'd like to do one of the following:

1. Retrieve and parse the InkNode data from Graph
2. If possible, request ink-written note as .pdf-exported page or a .jpg or simply parsed to text.

Is any of the above possible? If not, are there any plans/roadmap to have such a feature in the future?

Thanks

Hi @lemur

1. Retrieve and parse the InkNode data from Graph

If you want to retrieve the InkNode content of the OneNote page, can try use includeinkML=true.
/pages/[pageid]/content?includeinkML=true

2. If possible, request ink-written note as .pdf-exported page or a .jpg or simply parsed to text.

Does not support the use of graph api to export OneNote content to pdf or jpg pages, it can only be exported as HTML. Currently seems that there are no plans/roadmap under implementation. So I suggest you submit a user voice to propose support for this feature, and I will vote for you.
