How to get assistant name in Microsoft Graph API?

Question

I have a web app that uses OAuth and Microsoft Graph API to access user calendar data. My users have access to Assistant Name in Microsoft Outlook for desktop via contact card, but I cannot seem to find it in Microsoft Graph API. I believe it is the msExchAssistantName field which is an Exchange attribute.

I see this link but don't fully understand: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365/how-to-display-assistant-name-and-phone-in-m365-user-contact/m-p/3280011

How can I access this field in Microsoft Graph API?

Hi @Austin
To get user Assistant Name, us the Contacts API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/contact-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http):

• On graph explorer, run the endpoint /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/contacts/{id} - remember to consent to the permissions under the "Modify Permissions" tab.
