Microsoft Graph API Groups Delta Query Never Returns Delta Query (Infiinite loop with nextLink)

Question

While working with Microsoft Graph Explorer, I noticed that when you submit a groups delta request like https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/delta, you will get a response wi

Answer 1

ok , i figured it out how to solve the issue. When Delta changes returns groups that has more than 1000 members , then is returning the same data set but adding the rest of members. It seems that is an inifinite loop but really is bringing the rest of members. Then if you do a query with select without expanding members, then you avoids the infinite loop.

Answer 2

Stack is the correct place to ask questions like this. Our github issues are to raise content issues, not asking how to use the API itself.

There is a specific doc that shows you how to get changes on the groups api here in our documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/delta-query-groups

When you call you'll get the first results back.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/delta?$select=displayName,description&$expand=members

Then rather than making this exact same call next time, you would call the @odata.nextLink that was returned in the response to request above which includes a skip token.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/delta?$skiptoken=pqwSUjGYvb3jQpbwVAwEL7yuI3dU1LecfkkfLPtnIjvB7XnF_yllFsCrZJ

a third call, you would call the @odata.nextLink from the second response. The @odata.nextLink should be different bewtween these requests.
