Known Issues
Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.

Working with Drives and Drive Items using this Snap Pack
This Pipeline demonstrates how you can retrieve information about drives, driveItems and a recursive list of children items under a given driveItem. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters.
We start with the Get Drive Snap to collect information about a particular drive followed by a Get Drive Item Snap to get the details of one of these driveItems.
| Get Drive Snap |
|---|
|
| Output |
 |
We pass the Drive ID to this Snap to gather the relative path/ID of the driveItem we want to view the details of.
| Get Drive Item |
|---|
|
| Snap |
 |
We, then, use a Mapper Snap to capture the Drive ID of these driveItems and pass it to the Get Children Snap to retrieve the recursive list of all children items under the relative path/ID provided.
