$filter not applying to sitePages in beta branch

Question

Hey there,

I'm currently trying to get all news posts from a SharePoint site via Graph. AFAIK this is currently only possible using the beta branch. What I noticed was that the filter query seems to get ignored in my cases.

This is my request:

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/SITE_ID/pages/microsoft.graph.sitePage?$select=promotionKind&$filter=promotionKind eq 'newsPost'

This the response:

    { "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#sites('SITE_ID')/pages/microsoft.graph.sitePage(promotionKind)",
    "value": [
        {
            "promotionKind": "newsPost"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "newsPost"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "page"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "page"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "page"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "page"
        },
        {
            "promotionKind": "page"
        }
    ]
}

Now my question would be: Am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You do not need to add $select=promotionKind parament in the query.

Please use following query in the Graph API.

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/SITE_ID/pages/microsoft.graph.sitePage?$filter=promotionKind eq 'newsPost'

Answer 2

Quick update here: I've got feedback regarding the issue from the tech team.

According to this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/sitepage-get?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http#optional-query-parameters filtering is not possible (anymore). I'm pretty sure it worked in the past.

My solution is now to filter on my side in order to achieve what I need.
