SharePoint Get Site ID

See more SharePoint Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the Chilkat HttpCurl class together with Microsoft Graph and OAuth2 Client Credentials authentication to retrieve the ID of a SharePoint site. The example automatically obtains an access token, sends a request to Microsoft Graph to locate a site by hostname and site name, and extracts the site's ID, description, and hostname from the JSON response. The retrieved site ID can then be used in subsequent SharePoint operations such as accessing document libraries, browsing folders, and managing files.
