How to access OneNote Notebook data with MS Graph SDK python

Question

Im trying to build a python app/script that goes through a onenote notebook and create folders for each section and creates html files for each of the pages in the section that will be saved in the respective folder.

I tried to play around with the python msgraph-sdk but i cant figure out how to get actual notebook data like the one in the json responses in the graph explorer website

im copying some code snippets directly from graph explorer as well and all im getting is 400 bad request errors

credentials = ClientSecretCredential(tenant_id=tenant_id, client_id=client_id, client_secret=secret_id)

scopes = ["https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"]
client = GraphServiceClient(credentials=credentials, scopes=scopes)

async def main():
	
	apps = await client.applications.get()
	    if apps and apps.value:
	        for app in apps.value:
	            print(app.display_name)
	    # Gets registered app name as expected
	
	    await client.me.onenote.pages.by_onenote_page_id(
	        "0-e4480296df44483797a6e9498a27ee08!240-2D4AD3C4F6B959E4!363379",
	    ).content.get()
	    # 400 Bad request
	    # msgraph.generated.models.o_data_errors.o_data_error.ODataError:
	    # APIError
	    # Code: 400
	    # message: None

asyncio.run(main())

Ive registered the following permissions in my azure app registration :

Notes.Read.All

Application.Read.All

User.Read

Hi @Yon Gold

The /me endpoint is only available in a delegated context to refer to the logged in user. If you are using an application-only context, then you should call the /users/{user_id} endpoint.

from msgraph import GraphServiceClient

graph_client = GraphServiceClient(credentials, scopes)


result = await graph_client.users.by_user_id('user-id').onenote.pages.get()

Hope this helps.
