Hi,
Recently trying to get recent files for a particular customer of ours - haven't had trouble with this API before but for this customer I'm getting this error. I have no idea what "group webs" is, nor can I find any results anywhere for what on earth this actually is.
If anyone has any insights what this response means I really appreciate it
Cheers,
Dan

I am a colleague of Dan's, below is an example of how to produce this request.
{
"error": {
"code": "notSupported",
"message": "Recent api is not supported for group webs",
"innerError": {
"date": "2021-03-22T02:53:37",
"request-id": "45497e4d-8aa0-49fc-b3b6-1aec3d036092",
"client-request-id": "c75ebc7e-8d7b-fed3-0fe8-d0288824e007"
}
}
}The user is an admin with all required permissions, the error response code is 501.
As mentioned by Dan this error response refers to Group Webs which are not mentioned anywhere in the Graph documentation and there is no reference to say that Recent api should not work for any sites. This only breaks on Team Sites.
Could you please let us know if this functionality is intended, or if there is anyway around this?
Cheers,
Jack
