How to search across mulitple sharepoint sites using microsoft graph search api ?

Question

Hi,
I need to search across multiple sharepoint sites using microsoft graph search api.
Right now using the below API, I am able to get resources in one site only.

URL - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive/root/search(q='account')  
  
Header -  
Authorization : Bearer {AccessToken}  
  

Above api only works for the mentioned {siteId}, instead I want results from multiple sites.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-search?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Is there any way to achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi @harryK9

Hope you are doing well.

You can use Microsoft Search API to search across multiple SharePoint Sites.

However, if you are looking for a way to limit your search to few mentioned sites, then you can refer this below sample request.

 POST /search/query  
      
  {  
      "requests": [  
          {  
              "entityTypes": [  
                  "driveItem"  
              ],  
              "query": {  
                  "queryString": "sample AND (Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename1 OR Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename2 OR Path:https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename3)"  
              }  
          }  
      ]  
  }

Hi @harryK9 ,

I agree with HarmeetSinghMSFT-7172's answer, you can use POST /search/query to search across multiple SharePoint sites. Please refer to this article:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/search-concept-files

In addition, as far as I know, currently there is no other method can achieve this.

Thanks for your understanding.
