Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Caution

Existing apps that use this feature with baseTask or baseTaskList should be updated, as the to-do API set built on these resources is deprecated as of May 31, 2022. That API set will stop returning data on August 31, 2022. Please use the API set built on todoTask.

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.

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.

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 /administrativeUnits/{administrativeUnitId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /devices/{deviceId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{Id|userPrincipalName}/events/{eventId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{groupId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{groupId}/events/{eventId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /groups/{groupId}/threads/{threadId}/posts/{postId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/messages/{messageId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /organization/{organizationId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{contactId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{listId}/tasks/{todoTaskId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{listId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/tasks/lists/{listId}/tasks/{baseTaskId}/extensions/{extensionId}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/tasks/lists/{listId}/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/{userId|userPrincipalName}/events/{eventId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{groupId}/events/{eventId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{groupId}/threads/{threadId}/posts/{postId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/messages/{messageId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/contacts/{contactId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{listId}/tasks/{taskId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/todo/lists/{listId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/tasks/lists/{listId}/tasks/{taskId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/tasks/lists/{listId}?$expand=extensions($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/{deviceId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /groups/{groupId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /organization/{organizationId}?$expand=extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')&$select=id,{property_1},{property_n}
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}?$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/{userId|userPrincipalName}/events?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{groupId}/events?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /groups/{groupId}/threads/{threadId}/posts?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|userPrincipalName}/messages?$filter=Extensions/any(f:f/id eq '{extensionId}')&$expand=Extensions($filter=id eq '{extensionId}')
GET /users/{userId|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.

Example

Request 1

The first example shows 2 ways of referencing an extension and gets the extension in the specified message. The response is the same regardless of the way used to reference the extension.

First, by its name:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Com.Contoso.Referral

Second, by its ID (fully qualified name):

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages/AAMkAGE1M2IyNGNmLTI5MTktNDUyZi1iOTVl===/extensions/Microsoft.OutlookServices.OpenTypeExtension.Com.Contoso.Referral')

Response 1

Request 2

The second example references an extension by its name and gets the extension in the specified group event.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/f5480dfd-7d77-4d0b-ba2e-3391953cc74a/events/AAMkADVl17IsAAA=/extensions/Com.Contoso.Deal
