How to Restore Deleted Files from SharePoint Embedded via Microsoft Graph API

Question

We're currently exploring SharePoint Embedded for the first time and are building our integration using the Visual Studio Code extension.

One challenge we've run into is restoring deleted files. We delete files using this endpoint:

DELETE /drives/{driveId}/items/{itemId}

However, we can't use the me/drive/items/{item-id}/restore endpoint, as it's not applicable in the SharePoint Embedded context.

Question: How can we restore deleted files (from the recycle bin) when working with SharePoint Embedded via the Graph API? Is there an alternative endpoint or process for this?

Thanks in advance!

The Microsoft Graph API has a resource called fileStorageContainer which an alias for SharePoint Embedded. The fileStorageContainer expose the endpoints to list items in a recycle bin and to restore the item from the recycle bin

List items in the recycle bin

GET /v1.0/storage/fileStorage/containers/{container_id}/recycleBin/items

Restore item

POST /v1.0/storage/fileStorage/containers/{container_id}/recycleBin/items/restore
{
  "ids": ["item_id"]
}
