Question

Get drive item gives 404 not found even when search drive item gives the result

harryK9 11

Hi,
I am using two apis, the search api to search for an item and get api to retrieve that item
Search API :

curl --location --request POST 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query' \  
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \  
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \  
--data-raw '{  
    "requests": [  
        {  
            "entityTypes": [  
                "driveItem"  
            ],  
            "query": {  
                "queryString": "dummy AND ContentType:Document"  
            }  
        }  
    ]  
}'

Response :

{  
    "value": [  
        {  
            "searchTerms": [  
                "dummy"  
            ],  
            "hitsContainers": [  
                {  
                    "hits": [  
                        {  
                            "hitId": "01HAMQQBUWJF3IOKRBYQ7ORSQ",  
                            "rank": 1,  
                            "summary": "<c0>Dummy</c0><ddd/>",  
                            "resource": {  
                                "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.driveItem",  
                                "size": 79430,  

  
                                "id": "01HAMQQBUWJF3IOKRBYQ7ORSQ",  
                                "createdBy": {  
                                    "user": {  
                                        "displayName": "aaa",  
                                        "email": "aaa"  
                                    }  
                                },  
                                "name": "Dummy.pdf",  
                                "parentReference": {  
                                    "driveId": "b!2Cpw3HmhMk2Jb4dABGdSh920Acn19YVJgsiBLTU0zzz",  
                                    "id": "01HAMQOAQOD66PGXDSYRDY",  
                                    "siteId": "zzzz.sharepoint.com,dc702ad8-12e2-4d32-896f-12r12r,c901b4dd-f5f5-4985-asfa-812d35340767"  
                                },  
                                "webUrl": "www.dummy.com"  
                            }  
                        }  
                    ],  
                    "total": 453,  
                    "moreResultsAvailable": true  
                }  
            ]  
        }  
    ],  
    "@odata.context": "microsoft.com"  
}

Here we have siteId - zzzz.sharepoint.com,dc702ad8-12e2-4d32-896f-12r12r,c901b4dd-f5f5-4985-asfa-812d35340767
and ItemId - 01HAMQQBUWJF3IOKRBYQ7ORSQ
Now if I call the get(preview) item api

curl --location --request POST 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/zzzz.sharepoint.com,dc702ad8-12e2-4d32-896f-12r12r,c901b4dd-f5f5-4985-asfa-812d35340767/drive/items/01HAMQQBUWJF3IOKRBYQ7ORSQ/preview' \  
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {<!-- -->{accessToken}}'  

The result is returned 404.

But the file is present on the system.
Access Token being used is Delegated Token

Hello @harryK9 ,

Based on my test, I am able to get driveitem-preview, in the same way mentioned in the question by using search-concept-files to get the driveItem.

Below is my test result,

Is the file present in default library?

Are you able to get the file with GET sites/{site-id}/drive/items/{item-id}
If the file is present in library other than, can you check if GET sites/{site-id}/drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id} and POST sites/{site-id}/drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/preview see what is the response

Hope this helps.

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT , I did tried his solution but the problem still persists
I am not sure why it is happening. The search returns me the 10 values, but getItem api is working only on 7 results. For leftover 3 it says 404 not found.
