API call that will retrieve the number of library views in an online SharePoint library?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by rlmickler 9
I'm trying to create a Power Automate flow that will check total number of views of a document library. Using a Send an HTTP request to SharePoint - GET method with a Uri of _api/web/lists/getbytitle('LibraryName')/views I receive no errors but I also don't get the information I need. Are library views possible?

    I do not think there is a direct REST API endpoint that provides the view count of documents or document libraries. One way you can do is by following the shared steps
     

    Using SharePoint Search API (Workaround)

    Although it won’t directly provide view counts, you can query for documents with certain metadata that may indicate how many times a document has been interacted with.

    • SharePoint Search REST API:

      https://<your-sharepoint-site-url>/_api/search/query?querytext='ContentType:Document'
    This can give you results on documents within the library, and you may have to filter or use metadata to infer activity, but it still won't directly give you the number of views.
