Get install apps on devices without having to query each app?

Is there a way to query installed apps on all devices rather than having to query each app to list which devices has it installed? I am able to get his working:  https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/dev...

You are right; querying each app individually will lead to hitting the "TooManyRequests" error due to the sheer volume of calls.

The best approach is to query devices and then get the list of installed apps on each device. This reverses your current strategy and dramatically reduces the number of API calls.

Here's the breakdown:

  1. Get a List of Devices: Query all managed devices in your tenant. 
    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices?$select=id,deviceName
  2. For Each Device, Get Installed Apps: Loop through each device and query for the apps installed on that specific device.
    GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/deviceManagement/managedDevices/{device-id}/detectedApps?$select=displayName, version

    Thank you that would be slightly better although still thousands of calls.  The first call is fine, but the second call for a device id results in the following. any idea? Looking at this, this does not seem to be an option?  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/intune-devices-manageddevice-list?view=graph-rest-1.0

     

    {"error":{"code":"BadRequest","message":"Resource not found for the segment 'detectedApps'.","innerError":{"date":"2025-05-02T13:29:07","request-id":"removed id","client-request-id":"removed id"}}}
