Use the Microsoft Graph API to get change notifications

  • Article

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.

The Microsoft Graph REST API can deliver change notifications to clients through various endpoints, including webhooks, Event Hubs, and Event Grid. To learn how to subscribe and receive notifications for your application, see Set up notifications for changes in user data.

An app can subscribe to changes on the Microsoft Graph resources listed in the table.

Note

Subscriptions to resources marked with an asterisk (*) are only available on the /beta endpoint.

    		•

    Note

    Many resources have limits or quotas on how many subscriptions can be made against that resource. When exceeding that limit, attempts to create a subscription will result in a 403 Forbidden error response. The message property of the error response will explain the limit that has been exceeded.

    Some of these resources support rich notifications (notifications with resource data). For more information about resources that support rich notifications, see Set up change notifications that include resource data.

    Note: Any resource path that begins with /users/{id} can also accept /me to reference the signed-in user.

    Permissions

    In general, subscription operations require read permission to the resource. For example, to get notifications for messages, your app needs the Mail.Read permission. The create subscription article lists permissions needed for each resource type. The following table lists the types of permissions your app can request to use webhooks for specific resource types.
