Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting the question to the Q&A forum.

If you want to use Microsoft Graph API to retrieve the contacts from Teams, please refer on the below link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-contacts?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

All of the contacts on the user default can be checked from here:

Contacts folder:

   GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts  
   GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/contacts  

Also, to get contacts in a specific folder in the user's mailbox use below API query:

   GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contactfolders/{Id}/contacts  
   GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contactfolders/{Id}/contacts GET /users/{id |userPrincipalName}/contactfolders/{id}/contacts  

I hope the above information can help you.

Hello @Daniel Dunér ,

Contacts stored in Teams are superset of personal contacts from outlook.
You can use /me/contacts or /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/contacts to get outlook contacts.

But currently there is no API available to get contacts which are stored in teams but not in available in outlook.

Since there is no Graph API, request you to create feature request in graph feedback portal, that will be monitored by Microsoft Product Engineering teams and will be considered for implementation based on number of votes received and people requesting for the same.

Hope this helps.
