How to Retrieve Microsoft Compliance and Message Encryption Data via API
Question details
The user wants to programmatically retrieve Microsoft Message Encryption reports and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) alerts.
- Product
- Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Graph API
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Automating the retrieval of compliance and message encryption reports instead of manually exporting data and counting sensitive alerts.
- Observed behavior
- The user needs to identify the correct APIs, endpoints, and permissions required to access the compliance reporting data programmatically.
Ensure you have the necessary administrative privileges in your Microsoft 365 tenant to configure API permissions and access compliance reporting data.
Consult the Microsoft Graph Q&A Forum for API Guidance
Since compliance APIs involve complex permissions and specific endpoints, reaching out to Microsoft Graph specialists is the most effective approach to determine available programatic access.
Microsoft Graph APIs frequently update their supported endpoints for security, compliance, and reporting. To avoid relying on deprecated methods for retrieving Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Message Encryption reports, it is highly advised to engage directly with Microsoft API engineers.
Open your web browser and go to the official Microsoft Q&A platform to start your query.
When creating your post, search for and apply the 'Microsoft Graph' tag to ensure your question reaches the engineers specializing in graph and compliance APIs.
Clearly explain your goal to programmatically retrieve Message Encryption reports and DLP alerts, and specifically ask for the supported endpoints and necessary tenant permissions.
