Why a sharepoint REST API to get SharedWithUsersId property form a folder returns Ids of previous shares?

Question

I am trying to get the ids of users who have shared access to a folder but I am getting user ids even though they no longer have access. The call I make is

https://{URLSite}/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('{FolderName}')/ListItemAllFields/SharedWithUsersId

This call returns me:

"body": {
        "d": {
            "SharedWithUsersId": {
                "__metadata": {
                    "type": "Collection(Edm.Int32)"
                },
                "results": [
                    14,
                    11
                ]
            }
        }

but the id's presents in results, no longer have access.

Hi @ESTELLES DASI, FRANCISCO JAVIER

Per my test, I can retrieve the same result with yours.

This api will return all the users you shared with although some of them are expired. Since you have shared folder with users, the user will exist in SharedWithUsers. You can use GetSharingInformation to retrieve Expiration. Please refer to following api

_api/web/Lists(<guid>)/GetItemById(<itemid>)/GetSharingInformation?$Expand=permissionsInformation,pickerSettings
