HTTP request
GET /me/settings/windows
Optional query parameters
This method supports the $filter OData query parameter to help customize the response. For general information, see OData query parameters.
You can filter the results by the following properties:
- windowsDeviceId: A string value that represents the unique identifier of a Windows device. This identifier can be found in the response body. When you filter on windowsDeviceId, you can get a list of settings specific to that device. Only the equality (
eq) comparison is supported for this parameter.
- settingType: An enumeration with the following valid values:
roaming and backup. The settingType property allows you to narrow down the results to settings related to either roaming or backup. Only the equality (eq) comparison is supported for this parameter. For more information, see windowsSettingType.
For more details about how to use this query parameter, see the Examples section.
| Name |
Description |
| Authorization |
Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization. |
| Prefer |
Optional. This API supports the odata.maxpagesize parameter through this header for pagination purposes. The minimum and maximum valid values for odata.maxpagesize are 1 and 200 respectively. If no value is passed, the default value is 110. |
Request body
Don't supply a request body for this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of windowsSetting objects in the response body.
If the response contains more than one page of data, the response body will contain an @odata.nextLink property. This property will contain a URL that can be used to request the next page of data. The URL should be used without any modification.
