Resolving Recurrence Visibility in Microsoft Graph API: Seeking Endpoint Solutions for Daily Meeting Instances

Question

I am unable to see recurring meetings in the Graph API. Currently, it shows only one instance. For example, if there is a meeting that recurs daily, I should be able to see the meeting for all the days. However, it is only displaying the meeting on the created date. I have explored other methods, but if the parent meeting is not present in the fetched data, it won't show. How can I overcome this problem? Is there an endpoint or a solution available for this issue?.Currently using this endpoint(/calendar/events?top=30&$orderby=start/dateTime desc)

Hello Muhammed,

I'm Ibhadighi and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

To see all instances of a recurring meeting in the Microsoft Graph API, you should use the instances endpoint. Here's an approach:

Identify the Recurring Event: First, find the ID of the recurring event (the series master) from your regular events endpoint (/calendar/events).

Fetch Instances of the Event: Use the instances endpoint with the ID of the recurring event. The format is: /me/events/{seriesMasterId}/instances?startDateTime={start_datetime}&endDateTime={end_datetime}. Replace {seriesMasterId} with the event's ID and {start_datetime} and {end_datetime} with the date range you're interested in.

This method will show you each occurrence of the recurring meeting within your specified date range.

I hope this helps,

Best Regards, Ibhadighi
