How to list all SharePoint sites with graph api

Question

Hi,

I am seeing change in behaviour using site search query while listing all SharePoint sites for user.

Using https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search=* returns less sites as compared to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search=. I am using Sites.Read.All delegated permission to list sites.

From answer that I found on support question, recommends using ?search=* but that does not return few sites that user has access to.

Any input on this is appreciated.

Hello Kaustubh Nangare,

I successfully retrieved all SharePoint sites using the endpoint "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites" with the Application permission Sites.Read.All. The delegated permission is not supported for this request, as noted in the documentation provided.

There was an intermittent issue with api behaviour, which seems to have fixed now.
