get-outlook-contact
get-outlook-contactRead-only
Retrieve a specific Outlook contact's properties and relationships by ID, with options to expand navigation properties, select fields, and paginate results via Microsoft Graph.
Instructions
Retrieve the properties and relationships of a contact object. There are two scenarios where an app can get a contact in another user's contact folder:
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| expand | No | Navigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as a message body fails with "Parsing OData Select and Expand failed", and an unsupported value may be ignored rather than reported. Request ordinary fields with $select instead. | |
| select | No | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime | |
| contactId | Yes | Value for the 'contactId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'contactId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the contact object as returned by Microsoft Graph. | |
| fetchAllPages | No | Follow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search. | |
| includeHeaders | No | Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata | |
| excludeResponse | No | Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication |
