How can we use POST method for fetching the group data instead of GET

Question

Hi Team,

For fetching the group one method is to us GET method and pass authorization Bearer access token under header .

To make it more secure instead of GET i want to use POST method .So is there any implication with the POST method from graph API and can i get one example using POST method to understand how to create payload & is there any difference in passing Bearer token in POST call ?

Hello Oauthuser,

Thanks for reaching out. Using POST to get the properties of a group is not supported. You can find more information on the topic in article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http.

The article provides a Group creation POST example along with payload https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-groups?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

To call Microsoft Graph, the app makes an authorization request by attaching the access token as a Bearer token to the Authorization header in an HTTP request. You can find more information in article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth/auth-concepts.

Thanks.
