azure - Unable to edit word document online using o365 MS Graph API getPreviewLinkWithEdit

Question

Using o365 MS Graph API to edit word document online. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-preview?view=graph-rest-beta This feature was working till 22nd JAN 2021. We are not able to edit document online from 27th JAN.

Code:

public static String getPreviewLinkWithEdit(String itemId, InlineEditorConfig config, boolean editFlag) throws JSONException {
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();

        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
        headers.add(AUTHORIZATION, BEARER + config.getAccessToken());
        
        String test = TEST;
        
        if (!editFlag) {
            test = TEST_WITHOUT_EDIT;
        }

        HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<>(test, headers);

        ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(HTTPS_GRAPH_BASE_URL_BETA + itemId + PREVIEW,
                HttpMethod.POST, request, String.class);
        return (null != response.getBody()
                && null != new JSONObject(response.getBody()).getString(GET_URL_STRING)
                        ? new JSONObject(response.getBody()).getString(GET_URL_STRING)
                        : "");
    }

Answer 1

Upon your description, there's no error message in your java code, so maybe you can debug your code to get the real 'GET_URL_STRING' to check if it has got the correct link url.

And I have test the api in api test tool, with ropc flow to get an access token and then calling 'https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/drive/items/【itemid】/preview'(according to your code, I assumed you're using this one) and I got the error of 'notAllowed', then I delete the suffix '/preview' and it replied with the url. So could you pls add more details on your debug result?
