getting 404 for GET request after renaming the sharepoint site

Question

I have renamed a sharepoint site URL from sharepoint admin center<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com . Now, trying to fetch new site URL via graph api . https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{group-id}/sites/root . But it is giving me 404 status. After some time it gave 200.
Is there any fix time interval that is needed for graph api to give latest URL? How long should I wait to get correct result ? Attaching the screenshots below .

Answer 1

Hello @Rono, Jacob

Thanks for reaching out!

We have performed this use-case testing from our side.

On modifying SharePoint site URL of a site which is connected to Teams (using SP admin center) and retrieving the same using Graph API gives me the expected results (200 OK) with updated SP site URL in without any delay response.

As this issue seems to be user specific, I would recommend you raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a Support Engineer will be able to assist you better.

You can raise support ticket from:
http://aad.portal.azure.com/ or https://admin.microsoft.com/#/support/requests .

Hope this helps.

Hi @Rono, Jacob
Per my research, once you change the site https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/1 to https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/2. The original site will set to read-only, and a redirect is created. After the change is complete, users are redirected to the new URL if they've saved the site as a favorite, or if they select a link to the site. The speed of the progress depends on the size of your site, usually it will take about 10 minutes.
