How can I log the request headers of Invoke-MgRestMethod to inspect the Microsoft.Graph access token?

For debugging purposes, I want to inspect the access token obtained by calling Connect-MgGraph. As I don’t see any direct support for this, I have tried to use Invoke-MgRestMethod to inspect to request headers (Authorization).

However, the following call doesn’t display the headers:

Invoke-GraphRequest -Method Get -Uri /v1.0/me -Verbose 

How can I get hold of the access token?

>Solution :

The cmdlet Invoke-GraphRequest has parameter OutputType. If you set OutputType to HttpResponseMessage, you should be able to access request headers, including Authorization header.

$mgRequest = Invoke-GraphRequest -Method Get -Uri /v1.0/me -OutputType HttpResponseMessage

$mgRequest.RequestMessage.Headers.Authorization.Parameter

If you also need to access data:

$responseBody = $mgRequest.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result
$responseBody
