Graph group API difference between v1.0 and beta for creationOptions

zeyu Wang 20 Microsoft Employee

Hi there. I'm an eng from planner client team. We have usage of group api which pulls group/{groupid} and getting the key creationOptions to determine some logic based on the results from v1.0.

But after switching to beta, the key is not there anymore and I'm not able to find an equal option in beta. Is there any suggestions on what we should be using?

Hello Spark Wang,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Support!

After testing, as you mentioned, creationOptions will be returned for v1.0, but the key will not be returned for beta version.

According to the documentation, beta is the test version, the API under this version may change, obviously the endpoint has changed for the group API.

And beta version is not supported for use in production applications, so it is recommended that you use version v1.0.

@Yakun Huang-MSFT Thanks again Yakun. Some follow up questions.

The creationOption is not in v1.0 doc even. Is it because it is missed or is it actually being desprecated? According to our code base, this key was introduced in our client code like years ago. So that is pretty confusing to me.

Our teammates are under the impression that beta is the more reliable source instead of v1.0. I wasn't really familiar with the version control but which one comes newer?

Yes, no information about this attribute can be found in the document of v1.0 or beta. This attribute seems to have existed a long time ago, and may have been ignored with the update of API and documentation.

The beta is a test version, obviously the version is relatively new, because the new functions will be tested in the version first, but because it is the test phase, so it is not stable, if you do not mind you can use it, but we still recommend that you do not use the version in production, because it will sometimes bring you a variety of errors.

@Yakun Huang-MSFT Thanks for confirming it!

I'm up to date with your information now. Just to confirm with you, as the attribute is not in beta (as it is relatively new version) compared with v1.0. Does that mean in some update for beta, it was removed and possibly considered deprecating?
