Get open extension
Namespace: microsoft.graph
Get an open extension (openTypeExtension object) identified by name or fully qualified name.
The table in the Permissions section lists the resources that support open extensions.
The following table lists the three scenarios where you can get an open extension from a supported resource instance.
GET scenario | Supported resources | Response body |
---|---|---|
Get a specific extension from a known resource instance. | Device, event, group, group event, group post, message, organization, personal contact, user, todoTask, todoTaskList. | Open extension only. |
Get a known resource instance expanded with a specific extension. | Device, event, group, group event, group post, message, organization, personal contact, user, todoTask, todoTaskList. | A resource instance expanded with the open extension. |
Find and expand resource instances with a specific extension. | Event, group event, group post, message, personal contact, task, task list. | Resource instances expanded with the open extension. |
This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
Global service | US Government L4 | US Government L5 (DOD) | China operated by 21Vianet |

Permissions
Depending on the resource that contains the extension and the permission type (delegated or application) requested, the permission specified in the following table is the least privileged required to call this API. To learn more, including taking caution before choosing more privileged permissions, search for the following permissions in Permissions.
Supported resource | Delegated (work or school account) | Delegated (personal Microsoft account) | Application |
---|---|---|---|
device | Directory.Read.All | Not supported | Device.ReadWrite.All |
event | Calendars.Read | Calendars.Read | Calendars.Read |
group | Group.Read.All | Not supported | Group.Read.All |
group event | Group.Read.All | Not supported | Not supported |
group post | Group.Read.All | Not supported | Group.Read.All |
message | Mail.Read | Mail.Read | Mail.Read |
organization | User.Read | Not supported | Organization.Read.All |
personal contact | Contacts.Read | Contacts.Read | Contacts.Read |
todoTask | Tasks.ReadWrite | Tasks.ReadWrite | Tasks.ReadWrite.All |
todoTaskList | Tasks.ReadWrite | Tasks.ReadWrite | Tasks.ReadWrite.All |
user | User.Read | User.Read | User.Read.All |
HTTP request
This section lists the syntax for each of the three GET
scenarios described above.
Get a specific extension in a known resource instance
Use the same REST request as getting the resource instance, and identify the extension using the extensions navigation property of that instance.
GET /devices/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/events/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{Id}/events/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{Id}/threads/{Id}/posts/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/messages/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /organization/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{Id}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/tasks/{taskId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/extensions/{extensionId}
Get a known resource instance expanded with a matching extension
For the event, group event, group post, message, personal contact, task, task list resource types, you can use the same REST request as getting the resource instance, look for an extension that matches a filter on its id property, and expand the instance with the extension. The response includes most of the resource properties.
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/events/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{Id}/events/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{Id}/threads/{Id}/posts/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/messages/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{todoTaskListId}/tasks/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
For the device, group, organization, and user resource types, you must also use a $select
parameter to include
the id property and any other properties you want from the resource instance:
GET /devices/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /groups/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /organization/{Id}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
Filter for resource instances expanded with a matching extension
Use the same REST request as getting a collection of the supported resource, filter the collection for instances that contain an extension with a matching id property, and expand these instances with the extension.
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/events?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{Id}/events?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{Id}/threads/{Id}/posts?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/messages?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/contacts?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
Note: The above syntax shows some common ways to identify a resource instance or collection, in order to get an extension from it. All other syntax that allows you to identify these resource instances or collections supports getting open extensions from them in a similar way.
Path parameters
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Id | string | Placeholder for a unique identifier for an object in the corresponding collection such as messages, events, contacts. Required. Not to be confused with the id property of an openTypeExtension. |
extensionId | string | Placeholder for an extension name which is a unique text identifier for an extension, or a fully qualified name which concatenates the extension type and unique text identifier. The fully qualified name is returned in the id property when you create the extension. Required. |
Optional query parameters
Make sure you apply URL encoding to the space characters in the $filter
string.
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
$filter | Returns an extension with its id matching the extensionId parameter value. |
Request 3 |
$filter with any operator | Returns instances of a resource collection that contain an extension with its id matching the extensionId parameter value. |
Request 5 |
$expand | Expands a resource instance to include an extension. | Request 3 and request 5 |
Request headers
Name | Value |
---|---|
Authorization | Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization. |
Request body
Don't supply a request body for this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 200 OK
response code and openTypeExtension object in the response body.
Depending on the GET query, the exact response body differs.
