Get the Group Id using Group mail or Group Name

Question

Hi Team,

I want to know how to get the group id using group mail or group name in C#. I was trying to get group details using Microsoft graph Api, but it seems it takes only group-id as parameter.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/{group-id}

I don't have group id; I have group email or group name. How to get group id without searching in entire org using below query
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups

Thanks,
Sameer

Hi @Sameer Bhat ,

Hope you are doing well,

Using Graph API C# We can get the Group ID Details by passing Group Email/Displayname

Please find the below sample code

var groups = await graphClient.Groups  
	.Request()  
	.Filter("mail eq 'GroupEmail'")  
	.Select("id,displayName")  
	.GetAsync();  

With the Below Graph API endpoint we can get Group ID Details

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups?$filter=mail eq 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'&$select=id,displayName
