FindMeetingTimes API is not returning time slots for more than 1 day

Hello Everyone, I've been trying to fetch available time slots for meeting using findMeetingTimes api(https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me//findMeetingTimes). The api is working fine but the problem is it is only returning time slots for one day. If I give the start date : 2022-05-07T09:00:00 and end date : 2022-06-07T09:00:00 then it returns available time slots for the date 2022-05-07 only.

Can anyone please explain me why is this happening? I tried different ways but couldn't find a cause. How does this api work?

    Hi @Gayatri Budha

    Based on my research, FindMeetingTimes graph API works in this way only. It will not return all the time slots between a given range. You can always check suggestionReason property in API response to know the reason for suggesting the meeting time.

    As you can see in below screenshots, I am getting multiple available time slots for two dates and the reason for the available time slots is- 'because it is one of the nearest times when all attendees are available'.

    Please check the date and time for another time slot-

    However, if you want to know free/busy availability information for a collection of users, distributions lists, or resources (rooms or equipment) for a specified time period, you can use getSchedule graph API.

    Hope this helps.
