Graph API get all messages between date range all folders

Question

Hi

Is it possible to using the Microsoft graph api to get all messages between a specified date range across all folders.

Could this be done via the $search parameter

If so what is the syntax

Thanks Ward

Hallo my goal was to get all the photos stored in my onedrive. I checked the calls made in the browser when access the Photos tap. I suggest the filter can look something like this

https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drives/xxxxxxxxxx/items/root/items?
$filter=photo ne null
&orderby=photo/takenDateTime asc
&select=createdBy,createdDateTime,description,driveId,file,fileSystemInfo,id,image,lastModifiedDateTime,location,name,parentReference,photo,size,shared,tags,video
&top=1
&ump=1
&initialPageDateTaken=1970-01-01T23:00:00.000Z
&prefer=Migration=EnableRedirect;FailOnMigratedFiles
&access_token=EwBQA61DB............

Is it possible to have dateTime filter instead of only date?
for example https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$search="received>=03/01/2020T00:00:00 AND received<=03/31/2020T17:30:00"

what is the correct syntax to search by date time?

see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/policy-and-compliance/ediscovery/message-properties-and-search-operators?view=exchserver-2019#searchable-properties-in-exchange

so something like

{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "message"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "received>=03/01/2020 AND received<=03/31/2020"  
            }  
        }  
    ]  
}  

KQL also has a between operation ".." which should still work but they have dropped (or maybe just omitted) it from the doco examples eg

{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "message"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "received:05/01/2020..05/31/2020"  
            }  
        }  
    ]  
}
