Is there a way to create a SharePoint Site in SPO using a Graph API?

Question

I am looking for a way to create a SharePoint site collection in SPO using Graph API. I see Graph API calls for Get Site and List Sites but is there a way to create a SharePoint site collection?

Hi @Mark Kordelski ,

According to my research and testing, we cannot create a SharePoint site using Graph API. The SharePoint API in Microsoft Graph supports the following core scenarios:

1. Access to SharePoint sites, lists, and drives (document libraries)
2. Read-only support for site resources (no ability to create new sites)
3. Read-write support for lists, listItems, and driveItems
4. Address resources by SharePoint ID, URL, or relative path

You can refer to this MS Graph documentation : Working with SharePoint sites in Microsoft Graph

Additionally, you can create a SharePoint site using REST API : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/apis/site-creation-rest#create-a-modern-site

Similar issue for reference : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/72320/create-sharepoint-sitesubsite-using-microsoft-grap.html

Thanks for your understanding and support.
