Frequently used REST APIs – Part 1

Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

While doing SharePoint / Power Platform / Teams development we most of the time need to use REST APIs and then need to google. This is the reason – birth of this article. Thought to keep all REST APIs together so that whenever need can find quickly.

I will keep updating this article. As I am using respective REST APIs I’ll keep adding those.

If you have some known frequently used REST APIs, please add in comment section, I’ll include those in article
