Hi Joel,

Great script. I'm look to get a bearer token for the https://ocws.officeapps.live.com/ocs/v2/recent/docs
Any token retrieved via MSAL doesn't work, any idea how to get this working?

Thanks.

My code is using a bearer token, but no idea if MSAL would work. Can you not get a token the same way I did (from /_api/SP.OAuth.Token/Acquire)?

Don't think so, because I'm not using a webpart, but an WPF app (with Azure AD App registration).
But I'll look into it, thanks.
