Getting files modified after a provided date - SharePoint and OneDrive

Question

Hi, I'm trying to get all the files modified after a provided date for a SharePoint site or an Onedrive.

I navigate recursively through all the children for a drive but the /children endpoint does not support a filter.

Using drive/list/items has the same filtering limitations.

I looked at the /delta endpoint and it has the option to provide a date(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-delta?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#example-4-retrieving-delta-results-using-a-timestamp) but I noticed the date can't be older than 2 months and the results can be older then provided date.

I tried using /search, but I got no results: "drives/{'id'}/root/search(q='lastModifiedDateTime ge 2023-07-31T18:56:29Z')"

Questions:

Is there a way to get files modified after a provided date for SharePoint or Onedrive?

Am I stuck going recursively over the children and performing the filtering on my end?

Is there at least an endpoint to get all the data without recursive queries?

Hi @Ivan Kirinčić, We are unable to get all files filtered by modified date from the whole site. But we could get files from list and filter by Modified. Please refer to following

   https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/example.sharepoint.com:/sites/development:/lists/<listid>/items?$filter=fields/Modified eq '2024-01-01T08:23:03Z'
