Graph API convert to other formats Error

Anonymous

Using graph API, I have a .docx file stored on OneDrive, and I'm trying to convert the content to pdf following this page:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-get-content-format?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
-> HTTP request -> GET /drive/items/{item-id}/content?format={format}

I obtain the document Assay.docx with the following item-id '01FA4YLQZRHSFJNXCIMBCLADQ6PMLTMWCJ'

I am using 'GET /drive/items/01FA4YLQZRHSFJNXCIMBCLADQ6PMLTMWCJ/content?format=pdf'
But does not work. Responds with error 'itemNotFound'.
What is wrong with my request?

I have also try with 'GET /me/drive/items/01FA4YLQZRHSFJNXCIMBCLADQ6PMLTMWCJ/content?format=pdf' :

Try accessing the item using remote item property. GET /drives/{remoteItem-driveId}/items/{remoteItem-id}. Some of the items in your recent are not in your default drive.

Once I have the document, how do I convert it to pdf?

This actually looks like a problem with Graph Explorer. Try this on postman. Graph explorer does not handled stream responses. On postman, there is an option to send and save.

Hi @Anonymous

According to my test, this should be a problem with the Graph Explorer tool. You can switch to postman or other API tools to call the api.

You need to grant the Files.ReadWrite.All application permission to your application in Azure AD, then use the client credential flow to get the token, and use the token to call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive id}/items/{item id}/content?format=pdf endpoint. Then you will get the download URL, you just need to run it.
