A Power Fx formula that uses Office365Groups.HttpRequest has stopped working in the past few days. We have several apps that rely on SharePoint and its embedded search functionality inside our canvas apps.

Office365Groups.HttpRequest(
                "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query";
                "POST";
                encodedRequest
            )

Recently, this formula started failing, and we’re not sure whether it was due to a Microsoft update or something else, as we haven’t made any changes to the Power Fx code.

Does anyone know if this was caused by a Microsoft change? Is there a known workaround?

Thanks in advance!

HI @nogueira,
You can try Office365Users.HttpRequest() Function
Sample Call:

The response will be in Object/ Dynamic data type to get the data you have to parse and get relevant values.

Sample Parse:

if you are using basic graph call related to user(me) then use this .

The problem is that the OfficeGroups connector only supports Graph calls against the groups resource. You can't use it for generic Search. For that you'll need one of the regular HTTP Request connectors. The one problem is that these are Premium license only. I suspect you're using the OfficeGroups connector because it would let you do it with a standard license. That was a loophole that was supposed to be closed a while ago. Use one of these actions instead. There is no way to access the Search resource using a Standard connection.

@nogueira Hi,

Have you tried to switch to HttpRequestV2

If you try to use the flow, will that work ?

In power automate portal , add a flow for testing:

Add manual trigger + Send an HTTP request V2 (from Office 365 Groups connector)
