Can't access sharepoint lists or drives through graph api

Hello, I'm trying to access a list and some drives on one of my organization's sharepoint sites via the graph api. I can successfully get the site information from the '/sites/ endpoint. When I try to get lists or drives the request comes back successful but with an empty array for the value.

Sending a request for the specific list/drive gives a 404 response, which is not entirely unexpected since it didn't list anything in the previous request.

I've tried creating multiple lists in an effort to get any of them to show up with no luck. Is there a permissions setting I'm missing somewhere to allow these items to be fetched by the graph API?

Hi @KennelMichael-2949

I am able to replicate your issue. Empty lists usually means that required permissions are missing. To get list items from SharePoint sites you need following permissions.

Please refer to this documentation.

After adding all the required permissions I am able to get desired result.

Perfect, thank you @ShivamDhiman-1582. I had the wrong permission selected for the application I was building.
