OneNote API Links

Posted on by Christian Long CPE

I'm working on automating some OneNote Pages creation. I have gotten one to work, but I need to do it for 6 different workflows each in a different Notebook. It was a pain to get the API link which is different than the URL. I can't remember the easiest way I got it last time. Does anyone have an easy way to get the API link? Or is there an easier way to do it? The gist is a of the workflow is creating a couple pages automatically when section is created. It copies them from a different Notebook and creates the in the newly created Section.

@stampcoin - Unfortunately, I do not have access to Graph Explorer and that's part of the problem. In Power Automate, it requires the API link, and I could definitely get it from there, but there are other locations it shows up too. Its a pain though... And I can't remember where or how I got it before. I know the string so maybe it uses the same ID that shows up in the Url?

@stampcoin - actually I *can* use Graph Explorer. I had to grant myself permissions...

But, the request is only returning the Notebook that is mine, and not the ones from the Teams I am a member of.

If you run Power Automate and use the Get Sections in a Notebook then the API you need is in the self property. When you do a Create pages in a section action the API is the same value followed by /pages

OUtput from Get Sections in a Notebook

  "body": {

        "@odata.context": "https://www.onenote.com/api/v1.0/$metadata#myOrganization/siteCollections('63fd68c5-73b3-432e-94c6-229577ca4703')/sites('41ae5d5b-4e6c-45a1-958a-bb20cfab1f86')/notes/sections(parentNotebook(id,name,self),parentSectionGroup(id,name,self))",

@Christian Long CPE ,

use the Graph, you still can use the same for post/patch/put...

The only difference is you have to get the location ( assume it is for a Team), like the team's site.

Once you get the location, then work with the pages/sections as usual.

Good luck.
