Approvals API Availablity

Posted on by 2
Hello - I have been using power automate to implement an approval(s) process for a company. I'm currently solving the problem of "Delegation" (i.e, someone is out of office and cannot approve). I understand this typically can be done with reassignment through the UI. 

However, I discovered this article (https://www.matthewdevaney.com/reassign-an-approval-in-power-automate/). They end up using this URL: https://approvals.teams.microsoft.com. To my surprise - this strategy worked! But, I have genuinely no clue where this URL comes from and I can't find any documentation on it. Did they just reverse engineer the api calls? Is this even a "safe" thing to do? The best I can find online is the graph api beta endpoints which I can't really seem to get to work. I would appreciate any links to the documentation for the URL they're using and more information about it.

Thanks!

    Not to state the obvious but :-) only Matthew can explain how he did what he did.
     
    He isn't the only one doing it, and tons of us reverse engineer stuff and do "non-supported" things that work for years/decades.
