Session Abstract

Microsoft Graph is the gateway to Microsoft 365 data and intelligence, providing a unified API to access users, groups, Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, and more. For developers, Graph is the key to extending Microsoft’s enterprise applications and integrating them into custom solutions. In this session, we’ll cover how to consume Microsoft Graph resources and APIs from different development perspectives, including: Getting started with Graph authentication and permissions (OAuth, MSAL). Querying data with Graph REST APIs and SDKs. Using Graph inside SharePoint Framework (SPFx), Teams apps, and Azure Functions. Real-world use cases: reading emails, managing Teams, handling calendar events, and working with files in SharePoint/OneDrive. Best practices for handling throttling, pagination, and large datasets. By the end, you’ll know how to securely and efficiently consume Graph APIs to bring Microsoft 365 data into your enterprise applications. Key Takeaways: ✅ What Microsoft Graph is and why it matters for developers ✅ How to authenticate and request data from Graph APIs ✅ Examples of consuming Graph in Teams apps, SPFx, and Azure Functions ✅ Best practices for performance, security, and governance
