Mircrosoft Graph Sharepoint API for drive ids

Question

I am following the script here to get my graph api call in the graph explorer to find a file in a sharepoint folder (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64558105/can-i-use-the-microsoft-graph-api-to-get-the-id-of-folder-within-a-sharepoint-do)

When I go to find my document libraryid i note that it contains a ! inside it, Eg "driveId": "b!wswHn...". I think this is breaking the API call when I try use it for https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/siteid/drives/{document libraryid}/root/children

Is there a way around this? also giving: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/935944/graph-api-call-fails-when-name-contains-special-ch for background

Hi Grant ,

I tested the drive id that has the '!' character using graph explorer and postman. The api worked fine for me. Do you see any error when you run the api?
