MS graph does not return body of message (other fields like subject, from is returned).

Question

The query returns all other data of the message except the body-tag. My application has mail.readwrite authorization.

message_id = "<removed>"
user_email = "<removed>"
access_token = "<removed>"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"
}

def get_message_details(message_id):
    message_url = f"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user_email}/messages/{message_id}"
    query_parameters = {"$select": "from,subject,body"}
    response = requests.get(message_url, headers=headers, params=query_parameters)

    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        return data
    else:
        return None
    

result = get_message_details(message_id)
print(json.dumps(result, indent=4))

Output:

{ "@odata.context": "<removed>", 
     "@odata.etag": "<removed>",
    "id": "<removed>", 
    "subject": "Do Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have blogs on Podia?", 
   "from": { "emailAddress": { "name": "Spencer from Podia", "address": "create@podia.com" } } }

I have also tried selecting all fields ("*") and still no message body...

Answer 1

I deleted and re-added the permission to MS Graph and re-generated the client secret. Behold now it works (and now I know the truth about the blog 🤩) For some reason i only got BasicRead rights and that does not show the body-part of the messages.
