Can't use Microsoft Search Api with application permissions

Question

I need to search Sharepoint content by specific text. i use Microsoft Search Api with application permissions

Performing a search with application permission is limited to one geographic region. I must specify region in search request to run a search. But have a problem with getting a region value. 

On this link we have a documentation with this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-concept-searchall
Tried the request to get the region value but we can't get the "dataLocationCode" with the code of region.

Hello Smart IT Admin (EXT)

Thanks for reaching out!

As per the official documentation, performing a search with application permission is limited to one geographic region. You need to specify a value for the region property in your search request when you use application permissions to run a search. To get the region value for a tenant, use the dataLocationCode property of the siteCollection resource. For more information and examples, see Get the region value.

You can get the geo location information for a tenant by using Microsoft Graph. Below sample code uses the dataLocationCode attribute on the siteCollection object.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites?filter=siteCollection/root%20ne%20null&select=webUrl,siteCollection

However, by default, application permissions enable search on shared content and disable search on private content. To enable private content search, please refer Include-all-private-content

Also, refer Discover whether your tenant is Multi-Geo

Hope this helps.
