Unable to create MS teams group using graph API

Vaibhav-A Mankar 65

We are trying to create MS Teams group using graph API with below permission. But we are getting

The apps catalog does not contain any app with Teams app id 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.

{
  "chatType": "group",
  "topic": "Group chat title",

  "members": [
    {
      "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember",
      "roles": ["owner"],
      "******@odata.bind": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users('******@dbgdev.db.com')"
    }
  ],
   "installedApps": [
        {
            "******@odata.bind": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps('xxxxxxx')"
        }
    ]
}

Response:

{
    "error": {
        "code": "BadRequest",
        "message": "The apps catalog does not contain any app with Teams app id 'xxxxxxxxxx'.",
        "innerError": {

Creating a Microsoft Teams group using the Microsoft Graph API involves several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create an MS Teams group using the API:

Authentication: Ensure you have the necessary authentication token to interact with the Microsoft Graph API. You can obtain an access token using the OAuth 2.0 authentication process.

Construct the Request: Create a POST request to the Microsoft Graph API's groups endpoint. The request should include the required properties for the Teams group in the request body. Here's an example JSON request body:

json

"description": "My Teams Group",

"displayName": "A description of the group",

"groupTypes": ["Unified"],

"mailEnabled": false,

"securityEnabled": false,

"visibility": "Private"

Send the Request: Use your preferred programming language or tool to send the POST request to the API endpoint. Here's an example using Python with the requests library:

python

import requests

access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups"

headers = {

"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}", "Content-Type": "application/json" "description": "My Teams Group", "displayName": "A description of the group", "groupTypes": ["Unified"], "mailEnabled": False, "securityEnabled": False, "visibility": "Private"

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)

print(response.json())

Handle the Response: After sending the request, you'll receive a response. The response will include the newly created Teams group's details if the creation was successful.

Please note that this is a basic example, and you might need to adjust the request body and headers based on your requirements and the programming language you're using.

If you encounter specific errors, remember to check the error messages and refer to the official Microsoft Graph API documentation for detailed information on error codes and troubleshooting steps. Additionally, you can seek help from Microsoft's developer support channels for more assistance.

Please make sure that the app id you are passing is the generated app ID of the catalog app and not the externalId.

You need to pass the id property of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/appcatalogs-list-teamsapps?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
