Unable to set QueryParamters/Format

[GrahamSnee]

Describe the bug

I am wanting to use the GraphServiceClient to get the reports GetM365AppUserDetailWithPeriod. I want to use the format of the return to be in JSON, so using the example from the MS documents I have tried to pass the requestConfiguration query parameters format, but the code will not compile. The complier indicates a missing using statement, but the code matches the examples. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/reportroot-getm365appplatformusercounts?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp)

Expected behavior

The code to compile, or documents be updated to reflect required usings within the examples

How to reproduce

Create a simple app and add the code

// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
await graphClient.Reports.GetM365AppPlatformUserCountsWithPeriod("{period}").GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>
{
requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Format = "application/json";
});

SDK Version

nuget package 5.49.0

Latest version known to work for scenario above?

Unkownn

Known Workarounds

None

Debug output

Compiler Error CS1061 'DefaultQueryParameters' does not contain a definition for 'Format' and no accessible extension method 'Format' accepting a first argument of type 'DefaultQueryParameters' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Configuration

Windows 11

Thanks for raising this @GrahamSnee

This is related to the metadata that generates the SDK(created microsoftgraph/msgraph-metadata#616 for this.)

In the meantime, you can probably customize your response as below by using the WithUrl method.

            var urlString = graphClient.Reports.GetM365AppPlatformUserCountsWithPeriod("{period}").ToGetRequestInformation().URI.OriginalString;
            urlString += "?$format=application/json";//append the query parameter

            var responseStream = await graphClient.Reports.GetM365AppPlatformUserCountsWithPeriod("").WithUrl(urlString).GetAsync();

I have tried this, but the client thrown an exception stating ‘{"Message":"JSON format is not supported."}’

[andrueastman]

Thanks for getting back to this. It looks like the API may not support the json type for this scenario(Which suggests that the documenation is invalid/incorrect).

Are you by any chance able to replicate this using the Graph explorer?

[GrahamSnee]

With Graph explorer it does not work, but neither does the getting of the information in CSV work either
