Learn how to retrieve user data and count the total number of users efficiently using Microsoft Graph API in this comprehensive tutorial. We'll guide you through creating GET requests to fetch all users and count the total number of users, addressing common issues such as pagination and unsupported queries.
🔍 Retrieving User Data:
1. Create a GET request named 'Get all users' in Postman.
2. Set the request URL to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users.
3. Include 'Authorization' with 'Bearer' followed by your token in the Headers section.
4. Hit 'Send' to retrieve user data, with the default query returning the first 100 users.
5. Use the 'data.nextLink' provided in the response to retrieve additional sets of users.
📊 Counting Total Users:
1. Create another GET request named 'Get users count'.
2. Set the request URL to https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/user....
3. Include 'Authorization' with 'Bearer' followed by your token in the Headers section.
3. Hit 'Send' to initially encounter an 'unsupportedQuery' error.
4. Resolve the error by including 'ConsistencyLevel' with a value of 'eventual' in the headers.
5. Hit 'Send' again to receive the total user count successfully.
