What is Microsoft Graph
Microsoft Graph is a RESTful web API that enables you to access Microsoft Cloud service resources. It provides a single endpoint for accessing data and insights from the Microsoft Cloud, including Azure Active Directory, Office 365, OneDrive, and more. The Microsoft Graph API allows you to programmatically access this data and use it to build applications and services that can be integrated with Microsoft Cloud services. You can use the Microsoft Graph API to build a wide range of applications and services, such as:
- Office 365 integration
- Data visualization and analytics
- Collaboration and communication tools
- Security and compliance solutions
- And more
The Microsoft Graph API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. It supports a number of different authentication flow options, including client credentials, authorization code, and on-behalf-of. You can use the Microsoft Graph API with a variety of programming languages and development platforms, including .NET, Java, Python, and more.
