Filtering on item name in Graph API call

Question

Hello,

I am trying to find details about a specific item in a SharePoint list named "My Reports". The following Graph request works:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/mysite.sharepoint.com:/sites/MySite:/lists/My Reports/Items

But this requires me to then search through the contents of the "My Reports" list for the subsequent files and folders. I am looking for a way to apply the filter in the Graph API call rather than looping through the contents and doing the filtering in another programming language. I am hoping to do something similar to the following to locate the folder named "TestFolder":

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/mysite.sharepoint.com:/sites/MySite:/lists/My Reports/Items?$filter=parentReference.contentType.name eq TestFolder

This does not run. Is a way to add a filter on the item name using the filter parameter?

Hi @Sam

Yes, you can filter files based on item name.

First list the root directory file set, and then filter according to the file name:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site id}/lists/{list id}/drive/root/children?$filter=name eq '{item name}'

Hope this helps.
