Is there a way to obtain the content of a Word document stored in the cloud through the Microsoft Graph API without having to download the file locally?
The goal is to build an app that analyzes a Word document's inner content and produce some interesting data from it. However after searching through Microsoft's Dev Center, Graph Explorer, and their API's documentation repository, I can't find any API endpoints that can serve me that data.
I can find some endpoints that deal with manipulating Excel's contents, but not one that deals with Word. Does Microsoft Graph not support retrieving a Word document's content?
EDIT: For example, I know I can read the contents of a "message" and even apply a search on it through query parameters, as demonstrated by one of Microsoft's samples. But I can't seem to find how to do this with Word documents.
Well, it's possible to download the content of the document.
See: Download the contents of a DriveItem.
For example:
GET /v1.0/me/drive/root:/some-folder/document.docx:/content
But you'll get the entire docx, with embedded images and all. Don't know if this is what you are looking for.
As an example, see the helix-word2md project that fetches a docx and converts it to markdown.
I'm afraid you can't direly access word content. What you can do is use web URL property of a DriveItem opening a document the associated Word Online or native world if it is installed.
You can use this below to show specific item or all items:
GET /users/{userId}/drive/items/{itemId}
GET me/drive/root/children/
This is the result below:

The Apache-Superset swagger doc for the guest_token API shows the following payload for the POST request:
I used it successfully from the following Python code snippet from their example included in the source:
body = {
"resources": [
{
"id": "1",
"type": "dashboard"
}
],
"rls": [
],
"user": {
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe",
"username": "johnd"
}
}
However, the documentation does not give any details on what other resource types besides "dashboard" are available. Can I directly embed a chart? I could have tried the "chart" but there is no documented way to obtain an embedded-id for a chart similar to the procedure that they describe for a dashboard.
To summarize, can I directly embed a chart too similar to a dashboard by this API and embedded sdk?
According to the source, the only accepted resource-type for guest tokens is dashboard:
class GuestTokenResourceType(Enum):
DASHBOARD = "dashboard"
Yeah. Worse case, you could create a 1-chart Dashboard, and embed that.
In the Resource Linkage section of json:api specification I found that you can fetch a related resource object with a url like this, http://example.com/articles/1/author, making reference to "the author of the article with id 1".
In the site complete example we can see that the author has id 9.
// ...
{
"type": "articles",
"id": "1",
"attributes": {
"title": "Rails is Omakase"
},
"relationships": {
"author": {
"links": {
"self": "http://example.com/articles/1/relationships/author",
"related": "http://example.com/articles/1/author"
},
"data": { "type": "people", "id": "9" }
}
},
"links": {
"self": "http://example.com/articles/1"
}
}
// ...
So, if I understood it, I would be able to request the same resource with two different urls:
http://example.com/articles/1/author
http://example.com/authors/9
Is this ok?
Wouldn't this be considerated duplicate content?
The article you have linked talks about duplicated content in the context of a website. JSON:API specification is about an API. A website is typically meant to be read and consumed by humans. An API is meant for programs to be consumed. The SEO concerns raised by that article are not applyable to an API cause search engines like Google does not care about API responses. They may care about the website build based on the data fetch of that API. That website should have a unique URL or a rel="canonical" attribute.
I have followed the blog entry here to enable full text search https://developer.ibm.com/dwblog/2015/text-search-apache-couchdb/#.Vly24SCrQbV
I have everything correctly set up, and have also tried with other peoples docker images.
How do you set up a search? What documents are needed.
I have created a database called cats with one document
{
"_id": "6f35d75b476517e2fc0b3eb12c000e72",
"_rev": "1-c9a6b4734c83287499e8bbd6d1339050",
"name": "tibbles"
}
And a design/view
{
"_id": "_design/cat_look",
"_rev": "1-aae457e6edf5e4a3f69357e5a2160fcc",
"views": {
"kitty_name": {
"map": "function (doc) {\n index(\"kittyName\", doc.name, {\"store\": true});\n}"
}
},
"language": "javascript"
}
If I go to http://localhost:15984/cats/_design/cat_look/_search/kitty_name?q="*"
I get
{"error":"not_found","reason":"kitty_name not found."}
Thanks for any help on this, I am very lost.
A Lucene search index is set up differently to how a Map Reduce view is done. In your code, it looks like you've tried to use a Map Reduce view. For Lucene, first you need to set up an index:
{
"_id": "_design/Cat_look",
"indexes": {
"kitty_name": {
"index": "function(doc){ ... }"
}
}
}
Consult Cloudant's docs on the subject: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/Cloudant/api/search.html#search
Thanks for your help, you are right I set up the Lucene search index incorrectly. Here is the code to get a simple example working for anyone else lost.
If you have docker setup
docker run -d -p 15984:15984 ncheaz/couchdb:search
to get couchdb search on local port 15984
The document to search
{
"_id": "6f35d75b476517e2fc0b3eb12c000e72",
"_rev": "1-c9a6b4734c83287499e8bbd6d1339050",
"name": "tibbles"
}
The Search Index.
Create a new document, not a new view.
{
"_id": "_design/cat_look",
"_rev": "2-23f6ab0606a603cbef04653d167585d4",
"views": {},
"language": "javascript",
"indexes": {
"kitty_name": {
"analyzer": "simple",
"index": "function (doc) {if (doc.name) {index(\"name\", doc.name, {\"store\":true}); }}"
}
}
}
The url to search for the cats name is
http://localhost:15984/cats/_design/cat_look/_search/kitty_name?q=name:tibbl*
note that kitty_name is the name of the _search and name is the index name.
I recommend anyone struggling to get this working to create a free trial account on IBM Cloudant as the documentation directly relates to their product and it is a lot easier to follow.
I want to fetch my recent folders via the Microsoft Graph REST API.
This API contains the following:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/recent
According to the references the result should look like this:
{
"value": [
{
"id": "1312abc!1231",
"remoteItem":
{
"id": "1991210caf!192",
"name": "March Proposal.docx",
"file": { },
"size": 19121,
"parentReference": {
"driveId": "1991210caf",
"id": "1991210caf!104"
}
}
},
{
"id": "1312def!9943",
"name": "Vacation.jpg",
"file": { },
"size": 37810,
"parentReference": {
"driveId": "1312def",
"id": "1312def!123"
}
}
]
}
If the results was like this I could get the parent folder by using the driveId and id of the parentReference but in my results I only get the driveId. This causes the need to do one extra call to graph to fetch the folder.
This means I need 3 calls to the graph API to fetch a recent folder.
My question is if there is a way to also fetch the id or the parentReference so I only need two calls or if there even is an easier way for fetching recent folders?
Thanks in advance!
Sadly the answer is no. 'Recents' feature is pretty bare. They could extend it and provide more flexibility.
If this is critical for you, you can always create a request at:

I am working with XBMC. I have installed XBMC in my system(Windows 7, 32 bit). Xbmc is working fine in my system. I have developed an application in order to control the Xbmc remotely from Ipad. In order to retrieve the music files or video files from Xbmc, I am unable to. By searching the forums of xbmc, I found that we can write an sql query to get them out. But, the thing is I am unable to make out where the database is located in my system. Someone help me out where I can find it.
Regards,
Sushma.
The database itself
By default the location of the database is that described on the wiki page XBMC databases
but the actual location can be changed by the user, or a different database technology can be used entirely.
The settings that would affect this are located in advancedsettings.xml.
But in general it is advised by the XBMC developers to never access the database directly.
JSONRPC
In order to help with interacting with the database XBMC has supported the JSONRPC queries, the one downside of these is that XBMC needs to be running at the time to respond to these queries. The major advantage is that it XBMC will find the database for you and expose access to it with a common interface.
JSONRPC support was first added to XBMC in "Darhma" (v10), became really useful in "Eden" (v11) and will support almost everything possible in "Frodo" (v12). Information about the use of JSONRPC can be found in the wiki.
An example
In this example I'm assuming that you are targeting "Eden", the current stable release of XBMC. Also I have formatted the following with new lines, these are not required and are not present in the response from XBMC.
Request
If you were to use JSONRPC the request you would need to send would look something like:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies",
"params": {
"properties": [
"title",
"year",
"file"
],
"limits": {
"start": 0,
"end": 2
}
},
"id": 1
}
Note: If you wanted different information about each movie you could use other properties listed here.
*Note: You probably want to omit the "limits" part to get all movies.*
Responce
The response to this would be something like:
{
"id": 1,
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"limits": {
"end": 2,
"start": 0,
"total": 47
},
"movies": [
{
"label": "Label for movie",
"movieid": 1,
"title": "Title of movie",
"year": 2012
},
{
"label": "Label for another movie",
"movieid": 2,
"title": "Title of another movie",
"year": 2010
},
{
"label": "Label for a third movie",
"movieid": 3,
"title": "Title of a third movie",
"year": 2012
}
]
}
}
What to do now?
You have a choice at this point, you can either:
Add "file" to the list of properties, this will return the "file" property, the location of the video file.
Use JSONRPC to tell xbmc to play a movie.
Using this method is best when you don't want to play the file locally (on the iPad) but instead on XBMC.
Playing a movie on XBMC via JSONRPC
This is quite simple, use the "movieid" you received earlier in the following request:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "Player.Open",
"params": {
"item": {
"movieid": 2
}
},
"id": 1
}
Lastly I would note that there are equivalent commands for TV episodes as shown for movies.
