Today we are going to introduce Microsoft Graph , why now ?

The last couple of months I have been using the Microsoft Graph API for a couple of project’s including bots and website API’s .. so I decided to start writing about it and also add a full section for it .

What is Microsoft Graph ?

Microsoft Graph is the gateway to data and intelligence in Microsoft 365. It provides a unified programmability model that you can use to access the tremendous amount of data in Microsoft 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. Use the wealth of data in Microsoft Graph to build apps for organizations and consumers that interact with millions of users.

In few words , it’s an API that you can connect through your apps to do some work , for example you can add users , assign licenses ,block user ,get calendar events ,see recent activity ,create teams meeting etc…

Why you need to integrate Microsoft Graph ?

In simple , if you need to develop a productive application that include things that you do daily and you have to move from inbox to photos to calendar , you can have all that in one place , better than that you can create an app that help you scan your calendar and suggest the best time for something you want to do , or maybe scan your files for something specific , also it can let you know the  items trending around you !

Depends on your needs , you can create something that can be very helpful for you and for your team too (example sending reminder notification for team)

Where to get started ?

Well , you can start reading about the Microsoft graph from this link .
