List software inventory API - Returns a 400 error if software_id contains a single quote.
I am using following API to get list of devices using software_id.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/api/get-machines-by-software
GET https://api.securitycenter.microsoft.com/api/Software/microsoft-_-edge/machineReferences
I have a software_id that contains a single quote: google\chrome-_-queen's_closure
I have URL encoded it to pass into the API. After encoding, it becomes: google%5Cchrome-_-queen%27s_closure
Now my api call looks like this :
In response i am getting following error.
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "The key value ('google\\chrome-_-queen's_closure') from request is not valid. The key value should be format of type 'Edm.String'.",
"target": "00-18cb5c3c4880e2df7e606358b4e825ab-ac6e7d51804be7dd-00"
}
}
I have checked that this is an issue with the single quote, and the API is not handling it correctly.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue? Is this a limitation of the API?
- Try putting double quotes around the string, or %22
- Thanks for quick reply.
I have tried to escape single quote by using double quotes before it but still it is not working.

Also tried to escape whole word and put double quotes before whole word but not working that also.
