Issues with OneDrive Direct Link Conversion

Question

Hello,

I have been successfully using a method to convert OneDrive direct links into a Base64 encoded URL to share content via API, like this:

Original URL:

https://1drv.ms/t/c/b6a769b937e9eff3/EVtvodt7gEhKleFWNTy55vgBTFOziVeKp3kMvqG1wrrROA

Converted Base64 URL:

https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/u!aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL3QvYy9iNmE3NjliOTM3ZTllZmYzL0VWdHZvZHQ3Z0VoS2xlRldOVHk1NXZnQlRGT3ppVmVLcDNrTXZxRzF3cnJST0E/root/

This was working fine previously. However, recently when I try to access the converted URL, I get the following error:

Error:

{"error":{"code":"unauthenticated","message":"Exception of type 'Microsoft.Vroom.Exceptions.UnauthenticatedVroomException' was thrown."}}

I'm using the following function to encode the URL into Base64:

function encodeBase64Url(url) {

const base64Encoded = btoa(url);  // Base64 encode the URL

const base64Url = base64Encoded

    .replace(/\+/g, '-')  // Replace '+' with '-'

    .replace(/\//g, '_')  // Replace '/' with '_'

    .replace(/=+$/, '');  // Remove '=' padding

return `u!${base64Url}`;  // Add 'u!' prefix

}

const encodedUrl = encodeBase64Url(url);

// Create the download link

const downloadLink = https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/${encodedUrl}/root/content;

Is there something wrong with my conversion process, or is there a different issue causing the error? Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated!
