microsoft graph api for share point to get attachment

Question

I made a call like https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sites/4development106.sharepoint.com:/sites/DBSchenker:/lists/OEC_Docs?select=id,name,lastModifiedDateTime&expand=items(expand=fields(select=Title,Attachments))

and the response came as

  {
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.list)(id,name,lastModifiedDateTime,items(fields(Title,Attachments)))/$entity",
    "@odata.etag": "\"a2b82575-6781-4c1e-9376-0cb9865a5f12,1\"",

                "Attachments": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

i can get title here but how do i get the link to the actual attachment? attachments field just indicate if there is one associated but not the actual one.

Answer 1

Per my research, it seems that currently the Microsoft Graph API does not support retrieving attachments from SharePoint list items.

As a workaround, you can retrieve the attachment from items using REST API.

To retrieve all of the files that are attached to a list item:

/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('list title')/items(item id)/AttachmentFiles/

Working with files attached to list items by using REST:
