I am hoping I am just missing something in the documentation but I am trying to get a listing of all of the views for a SharePoint List. I have one with 4 or 5 custom views and when I search for guidance outside of the standard API docs it says to use this format:

GET /sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/views

However, that returns a 400 Error since it is doesn't appear to be a valid GET option.

Is there Web url query instead that should be used?

I know this must be possible as we have an automation tool called Alteryx that was able to pull back all of the available view for a list, somehow, programmatically.

As far as I know, the Microsoft Graph has no support for listing, creating, or updating SharePoint list views. The APIs you could use instead are the SharePoint REST API or the SharePoint Client Object Model (CSOM).

Agree with @Rob Windsor, Microsoft Graph API doesn't supports listing, creating, or updating SharePoint list views.

I got same error, When I generated the access token with scopes of https://graph.microsoft/.default and Use the same token for GET /sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/views using Microsoft Graph API.

To resolve this you need to use SharePoint REST API.

Initially, I registered Single Tenant Microsoft Entra ID Application, Added delegated type AllSites.FullControl SharePoint API permission and Granted Admin Consent like below:

Using delegated type, authorization_code flow which requires user-interaction. To get code, I ran below authorization request in browser:

https://login.microsoftonline/<tenant_id>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?  
client_id=<client_id>
&response_type=code  
&redirect_uri=https://jwt.ms
&response_mode=query  
&scope=https://microsoft.sharepoint/.default
&state=12345

After successfully creating authorization_code, Generated access token using below parameters:

POST https://login.microsoftonline/<tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token


client_id: <application-id>
client_secret: <client-secret>
scope: https://microsoft.sharepoint/.default
grant_type: authorization_code
code: <authorization_code generated from browser>
redirect_uri: <REDIRECT_URI>

Response:

Now, Use the same access token for List getting all views for Sharepoint list:

GET https://{your-site}/_api/web/lists/getbyid('{list-id}')/views

Response:
