Getting a complete list of contacts from Microsoft Graph

Question

I am trying to get a complete list of contacts from the Microsoft Graph, but no matter which API I use, I only get a handful of contats.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/people seemingly returns the latest contacts I have been dealing with, not even people in my actual contact list.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts returns like 10 random people from my contact list.

What I would like to accomplish is to get ALL contacts for a user, similar to how the "My People" app works in Windows 10. How, if at all, would this be accomplished?

Answer 1

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts returns like 10 random people from my contact list.

Like most of the Graph endpoints you need to page the data to get every item from the Contacts folder, 10 items is just the default return value but you could something like

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/contacts?$Top=1000

To get the first 1000 and then page from there. This endpoint will just give you the contacts in the users default Contacts Folder.
