microsoft-graph php library problem with constructing valid query

Graham Jarvis 136

I have created a shared drive called 'eicshare' on OneDrive. I am using the php library 'microsoft-graph'. I am connecting with an application token (not a user token, as the job will be run in the background on a server). I can retrieve group details, including the eicshare details, with the following snippet:
private function getGroups($accessToken)
{
try {
$graph = new Graph();
$graph->setAccessToken($accessToken);
$url = "/groups";
$groups = $graph->createRequest("GET", $url)
->execute();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
dd($e->getMessage());
}
return $groups->getBody();
}

However, I would like to retrieve the details (in particular the group id) for the specific group with the display name 'eicshare'. I tried adding search/filter clauses but keep running into errors. Please could you tell me how to restructure the above snippet to retrieve the eicshare drive details.
Also, if there is a good resource that I may refer to, please provide a link as I am having problems finding the correct resources to refer to.
Thank you.

Hi @Graham Jarvis , Do you mean you created a shared folder in OneDrive online?

Hi @JosephXu-MSFT thank you for responding.

-Yes. I logged in to onedrive, clicked 'Create shared library', and gave anyone in the organisation access.

I believe I may have found a solution, using the following:

$displayName = 'eicshare'
$url = '/groups?$count=true&$filter=startsWith(displayName, \''.$displayName.'\')';
$group = $graph->createRequest("GET", $url)
->execute();

Is this the recommended way to do this, or is there a better way?
Any pointers to the best documentation examples would be helpful. The important thing is that the token being used is an application token, and not a user token, so most examples I find using /me cannot work.

Hi @Graham Jarvis , It's a good idea to use query parameter. /me api needs delegate permission and user token obtained after a user logs in. You can post your comment to an answer and click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.

Thanks for confirming @JosephXu-MSFT . Here is a snippet of how I resolved the problem:

      try {  
            $graph = new Graph();  
            $graph->setAccessToken($accessToken);  
            $url = '/groups?$count=true&$filter=startsWith(displayName, \''.$displayName.'\')';  
            $group = $graph->createRequest("GET", $url)  
                          ->execute();  
        } catch (\Exception $e) {  
            dd($e->getMessage());  
        }
