How do I retrieve the id's of pages in a powerpoint file via Microsoft Graph API

Question

I'm using Graph Explorer to try and get thumbnails of each page in my powerpoint. I can get the first thumbnail of the default first page with my file id but I can't seem to find a way to get id's for the following pages. Copilot suggested using the slides parameter but it doesn't seem to be working. Currently I received my file id by using the 1st command and then I can get the thumbnail of that first initial page using the 2nd command with 0 as the index but if I replace the 0 with 1 it's a "no response" error.

Answer 1

Certainly! Retrieving thumbnails for each page in a PowerPoint presentation using Microsoft Graph can be achieved. Let's break it down:

1. Retrieve Thumbnails for a PowerPoint File:
   • You can use the Graph API to get thumbnails for each page in your PowerPoint file.
   • The endpoint to retrieve available thumbnails for an item (your PowerPoint file) is:

     
             GET /me/drive/items/{item-id}/thumbnails
     
     

   • Replace {item-id} with the actual ID of your PowerPoint file.
2. Slides Parameter:
   • Unfortunately, the slides parameter is not directly supported for retrieving individual page thumbnails.
   • Instead, you'll need to retrieve the overall thumbnail for the entire PowerPoint file and then extract individual page thumbnails from it.
3. Example Request:
   • To retrieve available thumbnails for your PowerPoint file, use the following request in Graph Explorer:

     
             GET /me/drive/items/{item-id}/thumbnails
     
     

   • This will return an array of available thumbnail sets for your PowerPoint file.

Remember to replace {item-id} with the actual ID of your PowerPoint file.
