How to Upload a Local File into sharepoint using Graph API?

Question

I am trying to upload a local PDF file into share point via using Graph API but the PUT method is just letting me to create a new file in the SharePoint but not letting me upload a local existing C:/ Drive PDF file

Here is the API that I am using

PUT https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/SharePointFilePath/file-name:/content

Answer 1

As per here, that is the correct endpoint. however, you need to send ithe file as a binary stream in the body. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-put-content?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

This means that you need to read your local pdf file into a binary stream and send it to the endpoint in the body of the put request. as a test for example, you could create a regular text file with the body as string and contenttype as text.

also if it's larger than 4MB, then you need to use a different method. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/driveitem_createuploadsession mainly an uploadsession.
