Graph API - filter and select together - 404 error

Question

When i use 'filter' and 'select' together in a GRAPH API url, it gives a 404 error

This is my URL in web.config - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$select=givenName&$filter=startswith(displayName,'searchName')

Following is the code i use to retrieve data

           string Url = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SearchUsingGraphURL"].ToString();

 Url = Url.Replace("searchName", searchkeyword);

            HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(Url);

            webRequest.Method = "GET";

            webRequest.Headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer "+ access_token;

            try

            {

                HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();

at this line i get the 404 error.

Hi @John Joseph Mathichiparambil - EW

I recommend that you use the graph SDK to create a graphClient object to call this endpoint. I just tested it locally and it works fine for me.

var users = await graphClient.Users.GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>
{
	requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Filter = "startswith(displayName,'xxxxx')";
	requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Select = new string []{ "id","givenName" };
});

Hope this helps.
