REST API Update blog post discussion

Discuss the
REST API Update blog post.

Asymmetric keys stored in Key Vault are not intended for bulk data encryption. They are to be used as master keys. For bulk data encryption recommended method is to use an AES key and then WRAP this AES key with the RSA key stored in the key vault. Then
Store the WRAPPED AES key and the URI to the key in Key Vault as metadata with the encrypted data.
Depending on the scenario one could use a chain of keys that end in an asymmetric key in the Key Vault. It's difficult to recommend a solution without knowing your specific scenario. There can be several things to consider and many trade-off of different
approaches.
Reach out to the Key Vault Team via azurekeyvault at microsoft dot com if you want to discuss more.

Sharepoint angulr REST API update file item userd field property

Hi All,
I'm working on a project using SharePoint with angular to upload files to document library, for now every thins is working fine and good but when updating the related item fields I was using JSOM its work but it increase the version # of the file which is
not acceptable to the client I found a solution to update the fields using REST without increasing the version # but the problem am facing now updating a user field it does not take the value it go to the success function but the field not set
here's my code
$scope.updateMetadataNoVersion=function(fileUrl) {
    var fld=$scope.SelectedFolder.replace(_spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl, "");
       var restSource ="";
        if(fld.replace("lists/DepartmentDocuments","")=="")
       restSource = currentWeb.get_url() + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('DepartmentDocuments')/rootfolder/files/getbyurl(url='" + fileUrl + "')/listitemallfields/validateupdatelistitem";

any help please im search about this since 3 days with no success
Thanx in advance

Yes, your correct. The validateupdatelistitem method does not work with Lookup values. You will have to use the standard way of updating the list item via REST but it will increment the version. I agree with you that many customers want to upload files and
set data without creating 2 versions. This is how SharePoint upload works. However, the only way to do this with REST is to use the validateupdatelistitem method.
You can make a request for this to be added to SharePoint at User Voice:

REST API sync issue

Hi expert,
I created a Excel file into SharePoint 2013 Excel library and Post the URL into MS word quick parts of IncludePicture. in MS Word, I can get the Excel Chart. but when I update the chart and publish into SharePoint again, the word file does not change.
does anybody knows how to sync both ?
the URL like this,
http://www.sharepointsite.com/_vti_bin/excelrest.aspx/Excel%20Library/TeamTasks_data.xlsx/model/
charts('Task%20Status')?$format=image
Thanks
James Liang

Hi,
There’s a setting in your Trusted File Locations (in the configuration of the Excel Service Application) that you have to check, in order to have the REST API update the connections.
http://www.sharepointblogs.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2014/02/20/excel-rest-api-not-refreshing-data.aspx
If the issue still exists, please check whether you have select "Data not stored with document" in the "Field options".

Office 365 REST API - Mail, Calendar, Contacts Update

UPDATE: We have announced General Availability of our REST APIs. The refreshed documentation which covers all the changes and much more is now available
here.
I wanted to share an update on our Mail, Calendar, Contacts REST API. Over the last few months we have been heads down updating the APIs. Most of the changes are a direct result of all the great feedback that we have received from
customers like you and we are very excited about sharing these changes.
These changes are starting to light up in the service and we have already received questions/comments about them from some of you.
Some of these changes are not backward compatible.
Due to versioning not yet implemented (but coming soon!), and these API’s being in preview, they might require simple updates to your code.
  Once versioning is in place, introducing non-backward compatible changes won’t impact your existing code.
Stay tuned for a full list of these changes along with the refreshed documentation and client libraries.
We have received a number of questions on some specific changes which I wanted to share a workaround for:
1. Folder names after ../ews/odata/Me, such as Inbox, SentItems, DeletedItems, Drafts will additionally require a “Folders” in front of them in the URL.
REST URL:
Before :
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Inbox
Now      :
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Folders/Inbox
.Net code sample:
var messageResultsBefore = await (from i in client.Me.Inbox.Messages select i).ExecuteAsync();
var messageResultsNow = await (from i in client.Me.Folders.GetById("Inbox").Messages select i).ExecuteAsync();
2. The Namespace has been updated from "#Microsoft.Exchange.Services.OData.Model" to “Microsoft.OutlookServices” and hence the fully qualified type names have to be updated to reflect that. In most cases though, you do not need to provide the odata.type
property as we can infer it based on where you make the post. For example, if you POST to ../Me/Contacts, we know you are trying to create a contact.
3. Contacts changes: To make the API easier to use, we have replaced EmailAddress1, EmailAddress2, EmailAddress3 with a collection of a new type called EmailAddress. We have similarly also changed BusinessPhones, HomePhones to collections.
Sample payload showing how to create a contact with EmailAddresses and BusinessPhones:
"GivenName": "John",
"EmailAddresses": [
"Address": "[email protected]",
"Name": "John"
"BusinessPhones": [
"123-456-7890"
4. Event Changes: The property Attendees now includes the type “EmailAddress”.
Sample Event payload showing how to create an Event.
"Subject": "Discuss the Calendar REST API",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "I think it will meet our requirements!"
"Start": "2014-07-02T18:00:00Z",
"End": "2014-07-02T19:00:00Z",
"Location": {
"DisplayName": "Conference Room 1"
"ShowAs": "Busy",
"Attendees": [
"EmailAddress": {
"Name":"Alex Darrow",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Required"
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "Anne Wallace",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Optional"
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "Conference Room 1",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Resource"
5. We have introduced a simple API for sending email called SendMail, and have removed the custom parameter MessageDisposition which was difficult to understand and discover.
The sendmail action, takes two parameters, a required parameter which is the Message itself and an optional parameter, "SaveToSentItems" which by default is set to true.
Sample Request to create and send email with one call:
POST:
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/me/sendmail
"Message":{
"Subject": "Have you seen this new Mail REST API?",
"Importance": "High",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "It looks awesome!"
"ToRecipients": [{
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "John Doe",
"Address": "[email protected]"

Hi,
I was trying to create and update the calendar event using [POST] https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/events and [PATCH] https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/events/<eventId> respectively.
When i try with poster or postman, I get this error
{error: {code: "ErrorInvalidRequest" message: "Cannot read the request body."} }
its not working . Any help will be appreciated.
Note: GET events and DELETE Events are working. I think the API with payload is not working.

it works like a charm when browsing inside the LAN
function updateListItem(itemIdentityField, itemIdentity, listName, siteUrl, item, success, failure) {
getListItemWithId(itemIdentityField, itemIdentity, listName, siteUrl, function (data) {
$.ajax({

Any help?
Somebody?
Thanks

Hi patrik
Really appreciate your replying.
Could you try and refer to the issues below:
this error occurs even with site collection administrator (i tested it with three different
users)
there isnt any difference between items in list - all have same permissions
it occurs in several lists in site (all lists have same permissions)
if browsing inside the LAN everything works just fine
updating from the UI works fine in all means
It really seems like a Rest related problem(is there anyone from the Microsoft REST team who can take look at this error?)
Thanks
Hushay

REST API to get and update Task Data

On CPSC 9.4.1 R2, I am unable to find any REST API operation to get and update task data details (all the service form and dictionary fields).
Task operations only return limited task meta-data not the details of the task/requisition data submitted, fields, etc.
Does anyone know if such thing exist?
Thanks.

Hi Rakesh,
To enable anonymous Search REST queries, we need to create queryparametertemplate.xml and upload it to the correct library in SharePoint.
From your description I can know that you have created the file, then I recommend to check the things below:
Please use “QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl” instead of “queryparametertemplate” in the Search REST API query as following: &QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl='spfile://webroot/queryparametertemplate.xml'.
Make sure that the Query Properties you need have been added to the QueryProperties element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file.
Make sure that the query parameters you need have been added to the WhiteList element in the
queryparametertemplate.xml file. For example, if you want to use Refiners in the REST API, then the Refiners should be added to the
WhiteList element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file as following:
<a:string>Refiners</a:string>.
You can also debug setting properties in anonymous Search Rest queries following the link below:
http://www.mavention.com/blog/debugging-setting-properties-anonymous-search-rest-queries

Post/Create a poll using Yammer REST API

Hi everybody,
I have been working on a project where there is a requirement to develop a custom web part that displays the feeds from Yammer. Also, the logged in user should be able to post messages, attachments, polls from the web part.
I was able to post messages and attachments using rest api and with yammer embed. But I couldn't find any information/documentation on how to post/create a poll via Yammer API using JavaScript. I've browsed through the documentation provided by Yammer( https://developer.yammer.com/documentation/ )
and googled a lot, but couldn't get any help.
Any suggestions regarding this would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Srivikas Nallamilli.
-- Thanks & Regards, Srivikas.

Hi,
Use the same API that you use to fetch messages from yammer i.e https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/messages.json
When you post a poll, above api will return json respose something as below:
"external_references":[
"meta":{
"requested_poll_interval":60,
"realtime":{
"uri":"https://7-791.rt.yammer.com/cometd/",
"authentication_token":<TOKEN>
"channel_id":<CHANNEL ID>
"last_seen_message_id":null,
"current_user_id":1530316230,
"followed_references":[
"ymodules":[
"id":12147685,
"inline_html":"<INLINE HTML>",
"viewer_id":1530316230
"newest_message_details":null,
"feed_name":"Company Feed",
"feed_desc":"",
"direct_from_body":false
you will get the poll message in inline html section highlighted in code above.
Let me know if it works.
Thanks,
Avni Bhatt

you can create a simple rest api on the Azure cloud, and then try to use fiddler to do some test, so that we can exclude the environment issue.

Hi Scott,
With EnableQueryRules and ProcessBestBets set to true in the search rest api, we can get the promoted results(best bets) in SharePoint 2013.
I recommend to type the search rest api URL in the browser directly and then check if the best bets are displayed at the top of the search results.
It will not displayed inside the table for normal results.
Please also make sure that the query text matches the query rule condition.
Thanks,
Victoria

OneDrive for Business REST API - PUT,POST - 401 Unauthorized

Hi,
We've a trial version of Microsoft azure and are playing with the One drive for Business CRUD operations via the REST
API from java client as per the link : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office365/api/files-rest-operations
After getting the token, i'm able to list any folder, download file and get attributes of a file using GET successfully.
But, the operations such as PUT, POST which are required for create folder, upload file, rename file/folder, etc are not working. I get back "401 UnAuthorized" error.
Error Response json :
{"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":"Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource."}}
I set the access token in the similar way how i set for GET in the http request and i'm using jboss rest easy client for accessing the rest API
Here is a code for "Creating a folder"
ResteasyProviderFactory factory = ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance();
ResteasyProviderFactory.pushContext(javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers.class, factory);
ResteasyClientBuilder resteasyClientBuilder = new ResteasyClientBuilder().providerFactory(factory);
ResteasyClient client = resteasyClientBuilder.build();
ResteasyWebTarget target = client.target(BASE_URL + "/getByPath('/TestFolder1')");
Invocation.Builder request = target.request();
request.header("Authorization", "Bearer " + this.token);
Response response = request.put(Entity.text(""));
And as per documentation, 401 UnAuthorized error means "Required authentication information is either missing or
invalid."
Am i missing any header that's supposed to be in the request/ Any other issue with the request?
Thanks,
Kathir

Indexed field num_comments on blog post not updating during incremental crawl

Hi,
Have a webpart that rolls blog posts from MySite and other Team sites.
Everything works fine excepts that the property ows_numcomments (which I have a managed property mapped to) is only updated after a full crawl has run (ie once per night or manually started).
Why is it so and what can I do to make updating during an incremental crawl?
Thanks,
/Owe
Background:
Query resulttype is RelevantResults
TrimDuplicate is true
MPNumComments is mapped to ows_numcomments
Searchstring
"SELECT Title, Author, Path, SiteTitle, MPNumComments, MPPublishedDate FROM SCOPE() WHERE scope='Blogs' AND contentclass='STS_ListItem_Posts' ORDER BY MPPublishedDate DESC";

Can you do full crawl and check this property is getting updated. If not then either incremental crawl is not updating the value or there is some problem with the field configuration.

POST to SharePoint Online REST API - 405 Method Not Allowed

Good afternoon,
I am writing C# with the intention of uploading a file to a document library using the REST API.
The code must run on an on-premise machine and the target SharePoint site is in SharePoint Online (Office 365 E-plan). It has to handle large files, so CSOM is not an option.
I have successfully tested a few different "get" messages, so I believe the authentication part is working. However, so far I have no such luck with POST.
In fiddler, my most recent attempt looks like this (I redacted the parts in <> because I'm not sure if they are sensitive somehow):
POST http://org.sharepoint.com/sites/site/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Documents')/Files/add(url='test2.txt',overwrite=true) HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json;odata=verbose
X-RequestDigest: <digest value>,15 Jan 2014 17:48:49 -0000
BinaryStringRequestBody: true
Host: org.sharepoint.com
Content-Length: 6
Expect: 100-continue
stuff!
Seems like it should work, but the result is "301 Moved Permanently." This request is immediately followed by this one:
GET https://org.sharepoint.com/sites/site/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Documents')/Files/add(url='test2.txt',overwrite=true) HTTP/1.1

So it looks to me as if my request is being redirected to the same address but with a "GET" method rather than "POST," resulting in the 405 Method Not Allowed error because "add" needs POST.
I appreciate any insight you can offer.

Mkay, perhaps I should rephrase:
I want to synchronize a SharePoint Online library with a local file share. There are a large quantity of files, and many of them are large (actually it's all too large to fit in one SharePoint Online site collection due to the 100gb limit, but I'll
deal with that separately).
The approach I was working on here was to create a C# method basically like this: UploadFile(File, Destination, username, password). I would use this method in the script component of an SSIS package which would run on a server and push the files
up to SPO, but right now I'm just testing it as a console application.
I got the CSOM methods working, but obviously that won't work because the files are too large. Above is what's happening with the REST version.
Can anyone see what's wrong with my REST calls - why is it being redirected as a GET request? Is this even possible?

Blog post Publish vs Update

This question was asked in February here and answered, but it clearly was never addressed.
When a blog post is saved as a draft, the PUBLISH button becomes the UPDATE button and there is no longer any clear indication to the client of whether their post is public or not.
This includes the post list which does not show the status of a blog post. Is a fix coming?
Best,
Rob

It's a 2-step process. 'Creating pages' does exactly what it says. It's like publishing to a local folder, but with .Mac functionality included. Actual uploading to .Mac only commences when page creation is complete. That's when the progress indicator(s) appear, and it's only then that you regain control of the application.
As to your concern that the process takes a long time when you add 'just a new photo page', you go on yourself to explain why doing this necessitates re-creation of every page in the site — it's precisely because of 'the name of the new page being added to the list of available photo pages in the list at the top of each page'. Once you add a page and include this on the navigation bar, every page which displays the navigation bar has to be updated.

Use REST API to query contacts with a field updated since certain time?

Hello,
Using the REST API and trying to figure out how I can query for contacts that have had a field updated since a specified time. I've tried using the "lastUpdatedAt" arg, but to me it seems like I'm getting back contacts that maybe haven't had any data change, but were probably sent an email or something of that sort (so the updated at value was changed)
Is there a way to query for contacts that have had fields change (Like subscriptions, address, title, etc) but exclude those contacts that only have their updated values changes because they were sent an email?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
lastUpdatedAt or "Date Modified" fields don't change when the contact is sent an email, but rather, when ANY field is modified on the contact record. You can certainly query for and export contacts that had their data touched in some way since a specified time, but it won't be on a per-field basis. There is effectively no field level change history or tracking. You can work around this with extra logic. First, you can get a snapshot of what the values were in the specific fields you want to track across your entire database.
The next time you run an export using Date Modified, it will contain more records than you might care about, but you can filter offline for the ones you do care about by comparing their before and after values for the specific 'tracked' fields.
Regards,
Bojan
