Hi @Vikas Neelam ,

Do you want to query text content in SharePoint site using Rest API? If yes ,you can use SharePoint Search REST API , for example: GET http://{server}/_api/search/query?querytext='sharepoint'.
You can refer to this document: SharePoint Search REST API

If I misunderstood ,please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks @Tong Zhang_MSFT for the answer. I am interested in the text content of a share point site given a url or any other identifier that uniquely identifies a sharepoint site. For example, given a url like "https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/sites/hrweb" I would like to extract all the text content of this site. We use this text content for mining knowledge entities. Thanks.

Hi @Vikas Neelam ,

According to my research and testing ,it is currently not possible to achieve it. We only can query text content in SharePoint site using graph api.

I suggest you can propose a feedback on this issue, Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
