Update OneNote page content

  • Статия

Applies to Consumer notebooks on OneDrive | Enterprise notebooks on Microsoft 365

To update the content of a OneNote page, you send a PATCH request to the page's content endpoint:

PATCH ../notes/pages/{id}/content

Send a JSON change object in the message body. If the request is successful, Microsoft Graph returns a 204 HTTP status code.

Construct the request URI

To construct the request URI, start with the service root URL:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote


Then append the page's content endpoint:

  • Get the page HTML and all defined data-id values

    ../pages/{id}/content

  • Get the page HTML, all defined data-id values, and all generated id values

    ../pages/{page-id}/content?includeIDs=true

The data-id and id values are used as target identifiers for the elements you want to update.

Your full request URI will look like this:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/pages/{id}/content

Learn more about the service root URL.

Construct the message body

The HTML of a OneNote page contains text, images, and other content organized into structures such as div, img, and ol elements. To update OneNote page content, you add and replace HTML elements on the page.

Your changes are sent in the message body as an array of JSON change objects. Each object specifies the target element, new HTML content, and what to do with the content.

The following array defines two changes. The first inserts an image above a paragraph as a sibling, and the second appends an item to a list as a last child.

Note

When updating an image on a OneNote page, you can't use www links. The service won't try to download random resources. Instead, the image must be part of the request, either by an image-data-url or a part-name of a multipart request.

[
   {
    'target':'#para-id',
    'action':'insert',
    'position':'before',
    'content':'<img src="image-data-url-or-part-name" alt="Image above the target paragraph" />'
  }, 
  {
    'target':'#list-id',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<li>Item at the end of the list</li>'
  }
]

See more examples.

Attributes for JSON change objects

Use the target, action, position, and content attributes to define JSON objects for PATCH requests.

target

The element to update. The value must be one of the following identifiers:

Identifier Description
#{data-id}

This ID is optionally defined on elements in the input HTML when creating a page or updating a page. Prefix the value with a #.

Example:
'target':'#intro' targets the element <div data-id="intro" ...>
id

This is the generated ID from Microsoft Graph, and is required for most replace operations. Do not prefix with a #.

Example:
'target':'div:{33f8a2...}{37}' targets the element <div id="div:{33f8a2...}{37}" ...>

Don't confuse these with any id values defined in the input HTML. All id values sent in the input HTML are discarded.
body The keyword that targets the first div on the page. Do not prefix with a #.
title The keyword that targets the page title. Do not prefix with a #.

action

The action to perform on the target element. See supported actions for elements.

Action Description
append

Adds the supplied content to the target as a first or last child, as determined by the position attribute.

Applies only to body, div, ol, and ul elements.
insert Adds the supplied content as a sibling before or after the target, as determined by the position attribute.
prepend

Adds the supplied content to the target as a first child. Shortcut for append + before.

Applies only to body, div, ol, and ul elements.
replace

Replaces the target with the supplied content.

Most replace actions require using the generated ID for the target (except img and object elements within a div, which also support using data-id).

position

The location to add the supplied content, relative to the target element. Defaults to after if omitted.

Position Description
after (default)

With append: The last child of the target element.

With insert: The subsequent sibling of the target element.
before

With append: The first child of the target element.

With insert: The preceding sibling of the target element.

content

A string of well-formed HTML to add to the page, and any image or file binary data. If the content contains binary data, the request must be sent using the multipart/form-data content type with a "Commands" part (see an example).

Generated IDs

Microsoft Graph generates id values for the elements on the page that can be updated. To get generated IDs, use the includeIDs=true query string expression in your GET request:

GET ../notes/pages/{page-id}/content?includeIDs=true

Note

The API discards all id values that are defined in the input HTML of create-page and update-page requests.

The following example shows generated IDs for a paragraph and an image in the output HTML of a page.

<p id="p:{33f8a242-7c33-4bb2-90c5-8425a68cc5bf}{40}">Some text on the page</p>
<img id="img:{33f8a242-7c33-4bb2-90c5-8425a68cc5bf}{45}" ... />

Generated id values might change after a page update, so you should get the current values before building a PATCH request that uses them.

You can specify target elements by using the data-id or id value, as follows:

  • For append and insert actions, you can use either ID as the target value.
  • For replace actions, you must use the generated ID for all elements except for the page title and images and objects that are within a div.
    • To replace a title, use the title keyword.
    • To replace images and objects that are within a div, use either data-id or id.

The following example uses the id value for the target. Don't use the # prefix with a generated ID.

[
   {
    'target':'p:{33f8a242-7c33-4bb2-90c5-8425a68cc5bf}{40}',
    'action':'insert',
    'position':'before',
    'content':'<p>This paragraph goes above the target paragraph.</p>'
  }
]

Supported elements and actions

Many elements on the page can be updated, but each element type supports specific actions. The following table shows supported target elements and the update actions that they support.

Element Replace Append child Insert sibling
body
(targets first div on the page)		 no yes no
div
(absolute positioned)		 no yes no
div
(within a div)		 yes
(id only)		 yes yes
img, object
(within a div)		 yes no yes
ol, ul yes
(id only)		 yes yes
table yes
(id only)		 no yes
p, li, h1-h6 yes
(id only)		 no yes
title yes no no

The following elements do not support any update actions.

Example requests

An update request contains one or more changes represented as JSON change objects. These objects can define different targets on the page and different actions and content for the targets.

The following examples include JSON objects used in PATCH requests and complete PATCH requests:

Append child elements

The append action adds a child to a body, div (within a div), ol, or ul element. The position attribute determines whether to append the child before or after the target. The default position is after.

Append to a div

The following example adds two child nodes to the div1 element. It adds an image as the first child and a paragraph as the last child.

[
 {
    'target':'#div1',
    'action':'append',
    'position':'before',
    'content':'<img data-id="first-child" src="image-url-or-part-name" />'
  },
  {
    'target':'#div1',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<p data-id="last-child">New paragraph appended to the div</p>'
  }
]

Append to the body element

You can use the body shortcut to append a child element inside the first div on any page.

The following example adds two paragraphs as the first child and the last child to the first div on the page. Don't use a # with the body target. This example uses the prepend action as a shortcut for append + before.

[
  {
    'target':'body',
    'action':'prepend',
    'content':'<p data-id="first-child">New paragraph as first child in the first div</p>'
  },
  {
    'target':'body',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<p data-id="last-child">New paragraph as last child in the first div</p>'
  }
]

Append to a list

The following example adds a list item as a last child to the target list. The list-style-type property is defined because the item uses a non-default list style.

[
  {
    'target':'#circle-ul',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<li style="list-style-type:circle">Item at the end of the list</li>'
  }
]

Insert sibling elements

The insert action adds a sibling to the target element. The position attribute determines whether to insert the sibling before or after the target. The default position is after. See elements that support insert.

Insert siblings

The following example adds two sibling nodes to the page. It adds an image above the para1 element and a paragraph below the para2 element.

[
  {
     'target':'#para1',
     'action':'insert',
     'position':'before',
     'content':'<img src="image-data-url-or-part-name" alt="Image inserted above the target" />'
  },
  {
    'target':'#para2',
     'action':'insert',
     'content':'<p data-id="next-sibling">Paragraph inserted below the target</p>'
  }
]

Replace elements

You can use either the data-id or generated id as the target value to replace img and object elements that are within a div. To replace the page title, use the title keyword. For all other elements that support replace, you must use the generated ID.

Replace an image

The following example replaces an image with a div by using the image's data-id as the target.

[
  {
    'target':'#img1',
    'action':'replace',
    'content':'<div data-id="new-div"><p>This div replaces the image</p></div>'
  }
]

Update a table

This example shows how to update a table by using its generated ID. Replacing tr and td elements is not supported, but you can replace the entire table.

[
  {
    'target':'table:{de3e0977-94e4-4bb0-8fee-0379eaf47486}{11}',
    'action':'replace',
    'content':'<table data-id="football">
      <tr><td><p><b>Brazil</b></p></td><td><p>Germany</p></td></tr>
      <tr><td><p>France</p></td><td><p><b>Italy</b></p></td></tr>
      <tr><td><p>Netherlands</p></td><td><p><b>Spain</b></p></td></tr>
      <tr><td><p>Argentina</p></td><td><p><b>Germany</b></p></td></tr></table>'
  }
]

Change the title

This example shows how to change the title of a page. To change the title, use the title keyword as the target value. Don't use a # with the title target.

[
  {
    'target':'title',
    'action':'replace',
    'content':'New title'
  }
]

Update a to-do item

The following example uses the replace action to change a to-do check box item to a completed state.

[
  {
    'target':'p:{33f8a242-7c33-4bb2-90c5-8425a68cc5bf}{40}',
    'action':'replace',
    'content':'<p data-tag="to-do:completed" data-id="task1">First task</p>'
  }
]

See Use note tags for more about using the data-tag attribute.

Complete PATCH request examples

The following examples show complete PATCH requests.

Request with text content only

The following example shows a PATCH request that uses the application/json content type. You can use this format when your content doesn't contain binary data.

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks/pages/{page-id}/content

Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {token}

[
   {
    'target':'#para-id',
    'action':'insert',
    'position':'before',
    'content':'<img src="image-data-url" alt="New image from a URL" />'
  }, 
  {
    'target':'#list-id',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<li>Item at the bottom of the list</li>'
  }
]

Multipart request with binary content

The following example shows a multipart PATCH request that includes binary data. Multipart requests require a "Commands" part that specifies the application/json content type and contains the array of JSON change objects. Other data parts can contain binary data. Part names typically are strings appended with the current time in milliseconds or a random GUID.

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks/pages/{page-id}/content

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=PartBoundary123
Authorization: Bearer {token}

--PartBoundary123
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Commands"
Content-Type: application/json

[
  {
    'target':'img:{2998967e-69b3-413f-a221-c1a3b5cbe0fc}{42}',
    'action':'replace',
    'content':'<img src="name:image-part-name" alt="New binary image" />'
  }, 
  {
    'target':'#list-id',
    'action':'append',
    'content':'<li>Item at the bottom of the list</li>'
  }
]

--PartBoundary123
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image-part-name"
Content-Type: image/png

... binary image data ...

--PartBoundary123--

Request and response information for PATCH requests

Request data Description
Protocol All requests use the SSL/TLS HTTPS protocol.
Authorization header

Bearer {token}, where {token} is a valid OAuth 2.0 access token for your registered app.

If missing or invalid, the request fails with a 401 status code. See Authentication and permissions.
Content-Type header

application/json for the array of JSON change objects, whether sent directly in the message body or in the required "Commands" part of multipart requests.

Multipart requests are required when sending binary data, and use the multipart/form-data; boundary=part-boundary content type, where {part-boundary} is a string that signals the start and end of each data part.

Response data Description
Success code A 204 HTTP status code. No JSON data is returned for a PATCH request.
Errors Read Error codes for OneNote APIs in Microsoft Graph to learn about OneNote errors that Microsoft Graph can return.

Constructing the Microsoft Graph service root URL

The OneNote service root URL uses the following format for all calls to the OneNote API:

https://graph.microsoft.com/{version}/me/onenote/

The version segment in the URL represents the version of Microsoft Graph that you want to use. v1.0 is for stable production code. beta is to try out a feature that's in development. Features and functionality in beta may change, so you shouldn't use it in your production code.

me is for OneNote content that the current user can access (owned and shared). users/{id} is for OneNote content that the specified user (in the URL) has shared with the current user. Use the users API.

Note

You can get user ids by making a GET request on https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users.

Permissions

To update OneNote pages, you'll need to request appropriate permissions. Choose the lowest level of permissions that your app needs to do its work.

  • Notes.ReadWrite
  • Notes.ReadWrite.All

For more information about permission scopes and how they work, see OneNote permission scopes.
