How to use mailNickName in Graph API

Question

How can I use the Azure AD mailNickName attribute in my app registration call?

There doesn't seem to be an option to select it as an attribute to send in the UI.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @Roy Asterley ,

mailnickname is returned only if included in $select, user - properties.
A Sample request to get mailnickname of users.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=id,userPrincipalName,mailnickname  

Using the below Graph API we can get user from mailnickname from Azure AD.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mailnickname eq 'AlexW'  

Hope this helps.
