Hi

Need help with an api request for the POST call to share a drive item

url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/xxxxxx52-xxe0-xxf7-xxfa-xxxxxxc129fa/drive/items/xxxxxxxxxxxOBTDY3NJBE2MSPJTNBJCYQI/invite"

response = 
{'error': {'code': 'invalidRequest', 'message': 'Invalid request', 'innerError': {'date': '2023-09-21T04:16:38', 'request-id': '9e8b7396-684f-4e92-b7fc-6c37ffb5f0bb', 'client-request-id': '9e8b7396-684f-4e92-b7fc-6c37ffb5f0bb'}}}
