1. Open Chrome or Edge DevTools (F12).
2. Go to the Graph X-Ray tab.
3. Do the corresponding action in the browser on the Microsoft platform that uses Microsoft Graph.
4. Then you will see the queries and parameters that the website used for your action.

Find API route

The API route describes the URL on which the requests are executed.

1. Open developer tools in your browser. -> (F12 in Edge & Chrome)
2. Open tab network tracing.
3. Run query in GUI (Intune Admin Center, Azure Portal, etc.).
4. Find query in Network Tracing.

Under General -> Request URL you can see the API route which was called from the corresponding web portal.

Find API method

To find out the REST method used, you can open the Devtools in the same way as for finding the API route. The network blade will then show which REST method was used under Request Method.
