How to fetch saved for later pages data programmatically.
After doing some investigation, I found that saved for later pages can be fetched from an api called Microsoft home service api which is located at
https://tenantloc-sphomep.svc.ms/
where tenant Location is the region.
in order to fetch the data first you need to get the access token. you can get access token by issueing a get request to below url
https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/_api/sphomeservice/context?$expand=Token
you will get two things.
1. access_token : will be the token that will be used to authenticate to sphome services api.
2. resource : this is url along with the location.
Once you have these two things you can get the data of saved for later pages as shown below.
