Hi team,

I was trying to get user’s list of followed sites (using application permissions). But calling GET /me/followedSites endpoint gives "access denied” and not able to know the root cause for this issue. Is this endpoint is not working, is there any other endpoint that i can try to resolve this issue. Please let us know your suggestions on this.

StatusCode:404

StatusCode: Forbidden RawResponseBody: {"error":{"code":"accessDenied","message":"Access denied","innerError":{"date":"2024-05-06T05:03:33","request-id":"85c976e5-6309-462e-a2d5-89ab8c90d24b","client-request-id":"85c976e5-6309-462e-a2d5-89ab8c90d24b"}}}
Thanks

    Hi @Tanvi Mittal

    According to the Graph Api, /me endpoints cannot be accessed with application permissions, please use the delegation permissions Sites.Read.All or Sites.ReadWrite.All, See the link below for details:

    By the way, using delegation permissions requires the use of auth code flow, for which you can see the link below:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Tanvi Mittal,

    GET /me/followedSites only support Delegated (work or school account) with at least Sites.Read.All permission. You could refer to the following document
