Getting id for subsites in Sharepoint using Microsoft graph api

I am using Microsoft Graph API to list files in Sharepoint sites.

I am trying to list the files in a subsite but I am not able to get the id of the subsite.

When I run https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{parent_site_id}/sites in Graph Explorer, I can see all the subsites listed but the id is the same as that of the parent site's id for all of them.

    Please recheck the response, it must be having id in the following format:

    "id": "<hostname>,<site id>,<web id>"

    Here web id is subsite id.

    Hi @User3,

    Your URL is fine, maybe your Parent Site ID is wrong. Please navigate to this address to check if your Parent Site ID is correct:

    https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site-url>/_api/site/id

    User's image

    Then try to get the IDs of all subsites under the site again. The same number of data will be returned in the value as the number of subsites.User's image

    The id of the subsite is the last one:

    User's image
