Powershell vs. API for SPOSites

Question

i have two general questions in regards to SPOSites and Usage

1) API SPI Site Usage- why only Teams and Group Sites ?

What is the reason why the new SharePoint Site Usage Report includes only Group and Teamsites ?

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/beta/api/reportroot_sharepointsiteusage

I would have expected that one would see ALL SPO Sites in that Usage Report.

2) Output differs between Powershell and API

If i trigger Get-SPOSite via Powershell then sometimes i don't see all the Teamsites. If i pull the list via API then i see them.

So the question is, which Source is more reliable ? i would love to use the API but because of topic 1 i need to rely also on Powershell in order to pull all Sites.

Or are there OTHER ways where i can pull all SPO Sites via API ?

suggestions are welcome :)

Hi Stefan,
We plan to enhance this definition in the future with additional user activity&nbsp;information (page views: number of times a user has visited a page and number of pages a user has visited) and to capture activity from all site types (in addition to groups and team sites).
Thanks,
Anne
