Python package providing API wrappers to simplify interaction with Microsoft Graph API.

msgraph-py

Description

This package contains API wrappers to simplify interaction with Microsoft Graph API through Python functions.

Some of the benefits of msgraph-py are:

• Automatic caching and renewal of access tokens, avoiding unnecessary API-calls.
• Sets the correct headers and parameters for you when required (advanced queries).
• Pages results automatically when retrieving large datasets.
• Useful logging and error messages with the Python logging module.
• Optional integration with Django settings.py for reading environment variables.

Note

The latest published version of this package can be found at pypi.org/project/msgraph-py

Getting Started

1. Create an app registration in Entra ID with the necessary Graph application permissions for the functions you intend to use:
   Authentication and authorization steps

2. Install the latest version of the package:

   python3 -m pip install msgraph-py

3. Configure environment variables:

   • If used within a Django project, msgraph-py will by default first attempt to load the following variables from the project's settings.py:

     # project/settings.py
     
     AAD_TENANT_ID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
     AAD_CLIENT_ID = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
     AAD_CLIENT_SECRET = "client-secret-value"

   • Alternatively you will need to set the following key-value pairs in os.environ:

     import os
     
     os.environ["AAD_TENANT_ID"] = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
     os.environ["AAD_CLIENT_ID"] = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
     os.environ["AAD_CLIENT_SECRET"] = "client-secret-value"

Warning

You should never store sensitive credentials or secrets in production code or commit them to your repository. Always load them at runtime from a secure location or from a local file excluded from the repository.
