Can i get a list of all site collections in a tenant using power automate?

[Patrick Rote]

Hi All,

Will it be possible to get  a list of all site collections in a tenant using power automate?
Currently I'm using powershell and have to query the sharepoint admin site.

But i'm thinking power automate can do similar?

Thanks

Any updates from any one from Microsoft?

Hi @Patrick Rote ,

In case you haven't already figured this out... Yes, you can use the "Invoke an HTTP request (Azure AD)" to issue a Graph query to get all sites. See the Graph documentation for an example to test in Graph Explorer with your credentials. 

Then Parse JSON to get at the individual fields, and then do whatever you wanted to do. In the example below, I'm just displaying them in an HTML table which could then be emailed or whatever.

Does this help you...?

In SharePoint admin center site, there is one list with name "DO_NOT_DELETE_SPLIST_TENANTADMIN_AGGREGATED_SITECOLLECTIONS" which contains the list of all site collections in tenant.

So, you can call SharePoint REST APIs using "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action in Power Automate to fetch the items from above list which will have details about site collections.

The query you mentioned in your answer will return all the sites (and subsites) and not only site collections in tenant.

@Sandy Ussia Would you be so kind as to detail the Parse Jason section please?

Thanks!

Ah, yes - that's true :)

@JeanneDarche 

Sure! 

Here's a screenshot of the Parse JSON action:

Body is from the Invoke HTTP Request action.

The Schema is based on that HTTP request (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search=*) from the Microsoft Graph. My flow is nearly 3 years old at this point, so the content returned by that request might be a little different now. I would recommend using the Generate from sample button in the Parse JSON action to paste in sample JSON from that HTTP request. You could perform the request in the Graph Explorer to make sure you're getting what you expect, and then paste that into the "Sample" box in Power Automate to generate the schema.

I hope this helps!

Thanks! Really apreciated!

I tried with the SharePoint rest api, but the GET only returns 100 results. I have a few hundreds sites. Does using Microsoft Graph works around this problem?

[#11 · Accepted solution]

@JeanneDarche Are you using Send HTTP Request to SharePoint action? what is the the Uri/endpoint you are using?

Usually, you can add &$top=5000 at the end of REST API endpoint to get more than 100 items.

This is a cool method; I wasn't aware of that hidden list of site collections that you can get to without a premium Power Automate license. I've tested this (including the $top parameter to remove the 100 limit), and it works great - thanks, Ganesh!

[#13]

@ganeshsanap This is the Uri.  How do I add &$top=5000 ?   Thanks in advance!

[#14]

@JeanneDarche You can add ?$top=5000 after /items like: 

_api/web/lists/getbytitle('DO_NOT_DELETE_SPLIST_TENANTADMIN_AGGREGATED_SITECOLLECTIONS')/items?$top=5000

https://url-admin.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('DO_NOT_DELETE_SPLIST_TENANTADMIN_AGGREGATED_SITECOLLECTIONS')

Note: if I access the above URL in Browser then I can get response and required data.

Please help me how can i access the Site/Web sites list from tenant.
Actually I have Tenant admin permission. 

but still it shows 403 error

@Muralikrishna1845 If above is not working for you, try using SharePoint Search or Microsoft Graph APIs:

1. REST API to get all site collections in SharePoint tenant 
2. Get all site collections listed in SharePoint Admin center using Rest / Search / Graph API 
3. What is the REST endpoint URL to get list of site collections?
