Microsoft Graph Functionalities

Question

Can anyone explain what is the difference with changekey in calendar and a delta function in Graph APIs. Are they the same, or do they serve for different purposes.

Answer 1

Hello @Jhonson,

Thanks for reaching Microsoft!

The "ChangeKey" property identifies the version of the resource. It is used to ensure you are working with correct version specific to calendar resource in Graph API.

Documentation reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/calendar?view=graph-rest-1.0#:~:text=changeKey,object.%20Read%2Donly.

The "delta function" is for change tracking to retrieve only the changes that have occurred since the last synchronization. You can use delta query across all the Graph API resources. A delta query includes a @odata.deltaLink , which can be utilized to obtain the subsequent set of changes.

Please follow the below document for more information about delta query: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/delta-query-overview

Hope this helps.
