How to upload files using folder path and Microsoft Graph API 1.0

Question

I am working on a script to upload files to a folder using Microsoft Graph API 1.0. I am trying to make it so the user running the script can copy and paste the path of a sharepoint/onedrive folder. I of course want to use the path as a destination for the files to be uploaded too. So far I cannot find a way to get this to work.

Path example: https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/TheSite/Shared%20Documents/User

API Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/driveitem?view=graph-rest-1.0

I have tried making GET calls to the API using the path, part of the path, and every variation of the hostname, and path. I am using the Python Requests library, and authentication is not an issue.

Errors received:

 "error": {
    "code": "itemNotFound",
    "message": "The resource could not be found."

and

  "error": {
    "code": "invalidRequest",
    "message": "Invalid hostname for this tenancy",

One more detail. All I really need is a unique identifier that the user get easily access. If there is some hidden place that folder IDs are visible in sharepoint/onedrive, then that would work too. I just cant seem to find them on the user facing side. File hosting sites like Box add the ID in the url, so its easy to get. That is what I would love to have. — CamParker
