Sharepoint Search Rest API not returning search results from Onedrive/personal sites

Question

Our goal is to query the Sharepoint Search API and fetch all files from OneDrive (my drives/personal sites) where the search input exists in the content. We are using the following query:

POST https://[tenantName].sharepoint.com/_api/search/postquery 
Body: { "request": { "Querytext": "abc", "RefinementFilters": [ "Path:\"https://[tenantName]-my.sharepoint.com/personal*\"" ] } } 

But no results are being returned, when we remove the RefinementFilters, search api is returning responses from sharepoint sites, but we want search on Onedrive only. we have added all the permissions required, to use this api (mentioned here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/vesku/using-add-in-only-app-only-permissions-with-search-queries-in-sharepoint-online).

Are we missing any anything here? is there special configuration required for onedrive? Any help will be appreciated. TIA.

Answer 1

Your query require Refiners parameters to match with RefinementFilters:

Body: { "request": { "Querytext": "abc", 
"Refiners":"Path",
"RefinementFilters": [ "Path:\"https://[tenantName]-my.sharepoint.com/personal*\"" ] } }
