De Baerdemaeker Myles 20

Hi,

I follow this link https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/graph/api/resources/onenote-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0 to access sharepoint site notebook. But I get the following

{
    "error": {
        "code": "20143",
        "message": "The OData query is invalid. The URI segment 'sections' is invalid after the segment 'notes'.",
        "innerError": {
            "date": "2025-08-26T09:25:47",
            "request-id": ,
            "client-request-id":
        }
    }
}

The error occurs because the request URI is not valid for accessing OneNote notebooks stored in SharePoint. The sections segment cannot directly follow the SharePoint site notebook URL. Instead, you need to use the correct Microsoft Graph API path for OneNote resources.

1. You replace {site-id}, {notebook-id}, {section-id} with actual values.

The app has OneNote.Read.All or Sites.Read.All Graph API permissions.
You are using the v1.0 endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/...) instead of an invalid OData-style query.

Yess I did that "await _graphServiceClient.Sites[siteId].Onenote.Notebooks.GetAsync();" or in graph explorer => https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/siteid/onenote/notebooks

How or what query do I need to use than?

You are using the correct base endpoint, but to go further (to get sections or pages), you need to add the right path after the notebook. The query must follow the hierarchy.

Here’s how you can structure it:

Get all notebooks for a site

Get sections from a notebook

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/onenote/notebooks/{notebook-id}/sections

Get pages from a section

Replace {site-id}, {notebook-id}, {section-id} with actual values returned from the first query.

Ensure you are using OneNote.Read.All or Sites.Read.All permission. If using Sites.Selected, you also need to grant access to that specific site via Microsoft Graph PowerShell or API.

Hi,

site id needs to be the one that is build in 3 parts

It is now required since march 2025 to authenticate app + user to get the notebooks.

Is this correct?

You are correct the site-id must be the full identifier or resolved dynamically.

Also, since the march 2025 changes, if your app is using Sites.Selected, you need to explicitly grant access to each SharePoint site where notebooks are stored.

So in your case:

Confirm you are resolving the site-id correctly.

If using Sites.Selected, make sure you have granted access to the target site using Graphapi

Still the issue, And it has access to the site & I use the right id...

So I do not need to do the end user authentication? Is there no specific documentation to access this? I tried all the doc that I could find...

Thanks for confirming. You are correct that you already have site access, but the issue is related to how OneNote Graph APIs handle permissions.

Currently, not all OneNote operations are available with application permissions. While you can list notebooks with app-only tokens, accessing sections/pages often requires delegated permissions.

Official documentation:

OneNote API permissions overview: https://free.blessedness.top/graph/onenote-concept-permissions

Graph sites/onenote endpoints: https://free.blessedness.top/graph/api/resources/onenote-api-overview
