How to cope with DriveItem/Activity/ListItem

I'm not writing code in VB or C# but if I were how do people 'cope' with the DriveItem resource ?

It contains ListItem and Activity which also contains DriveItem and ListItem contains Activity too

So do people just recursively traverse through the JSON looking for what they need as opposed to moving things into a struct which makes addressing things much easier later but you can't have recursive structs unless it is an array of itself which doesn't help here I don't think

It all just feels a bit Penrose Stairs

Hi @AndrewKennard-1022,

According to the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/activities_list?view=odsp-graph-online

The response for the item activities is a json object, and the value is array of ItemActivity resource type

Thanks for the reply

I'm looking at this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/itemactivity?view=graph-rest-1.0

Which has driveItem as a child element and driveItem contains an array of ItemActivity

So if I define my ItemActivity before driveItem then driveItem can have an array of ItemActivity

But I can't do that because ItemActivity contains driveItem and listItem for that matter

I did a test to get the driveitem activities. In the response, i didnot see the driveItem property in the response, So you could just ignore it for ItemActivity.

I am looking here at driveItem
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/driveitem?view=graph-rest-1.0#:~:text=Namespace%3A%20microsoft.graph%20The%20driveItem%20resource%20represents%20a%20file%2C,can%20be%20represented%20as%20listItem%20or%20driveItem%20resources.

Which contains an array of itemActivity
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/itemactivity?view=graph-rest-1.0

Which itself contains a driveItem

The driveitem is just a propery in the itemActivity resource.

And as far as I know, there is no such DriveItem/Activity/ListItem in the graph api endpoint.
