Question

Start subscription to get activity for sharepoint sites in microsoft graph.

Anonymous

I have a TS project working on getting users, groups, etc on M365. I want to get usage about SharePoint sites and I'm trying to start a subscription like this but I got an error: "Resource not found for the segment 'activity'. Code: BadRequest, status code 400. Can you please tell me what is wrong with this request?

await client.api('/activity/feed/subscriptions/start?contentType=Audit.SharePoint').post({});

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft!

400 error occurs when the request can't be processed because it's malformed or incorrect.

Please verify that the resource you are trying to subscribe supports change notifications.

Microsoft Graph API to create a subscription. You can do this via an HTTP POST request to the /subscriptions endpoint.

{

"changeType": "updated",

"notificationUrl": https://your-notification-url.com,

"resource": "/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}",

"expirationDateTime": "2024-12-18T11:00:00.000Z",

"clientState": "secretClientValue"

}

Hope this helps.

The idea is to do long polling to get data instead of using a webhook. I read that you have both options, long pooling or webhook, to get this kind of activity, as it says here: "After you create a subscription, you can poll regularly to discover new content blobs that are available for download, or you can register a webhook endpoint with the subscription, and we will send notifications to this endpoint as new content blobs are available."

I'm using application permissions and I already give Microsoft Graph Auditlog.ReadAll and Office 365 Management APIs ActivityFeed.Read permission to the application that I'm using to authenticate.

To create the client I'm using a code like this:

    const cca = new msal.ConfidentialClientApplication({
      auth: {
        clientId: clientId,
        clientSecret: clientSecret,
        authority: `https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}`,
      },
    });
    // Define client credential request parameters
    const tokenRequest: msal.ClientCredentialRequest = {
      scopes: ['.default'],
    };

      const response = await cca.acquireTokenByClientCredential(tokenRequest);

I also tried to do something like this, but I got a 401 with the status Unauthorized.

 const url = `https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/${tenantId}/activity/feed/subscriptions/start?contentType=Audit.SharePoint`;

    // Set up the headers with the authorization token
    const headers = {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    };
      // Send the POST request to subscribe to SharePoint logs
      const response = await axios.post(url, null, { headers });

I solved the issue. I couldn't use the msgraph to get that kind of data, instead I need to use axios and did the query without any sdk
