Usage Examples

1. Creating a Graph client

This creates a default Graph client that uses https://graph.microsoft.com as the default base URL and default configured HTTPX client to make the requests.

from azure.identity import AuthorizationCodeCredential
from msgraph import GraphServiceClient

credentials = AuthorizationCodeCredential(
    tenant_id: str,
    client_id: str,
    authorization_code: str,
    redirect_uri: str
)
scopes = ['User.Read', 'Mail.ReadWrite']
client = GraphServiceClient(credentials=credentials, scopes=scopes)

2. Creating a Graph client using a custom httpx.AsyncClient instance

from msgraph import GraphRequestAdapter
from msgraph_core import GraphClientFactory

http_client = GraphClientFactory.create_with_default_middleware(client=httpx.AsyncClient())
request_adapter = GraphRequestAdapter(auth_provider, http_client)
client = GraphServiceClient(request_adapter=request_adapter)

3. Get an item from the Microsoft Graph API

This sample fetches the current signed-in user. Note that to use /me endpoint you need a delegated permission. Alternatively, using application permissions, you can request /users/[userPrincipalName]. See Microsoft Graph Permissions for more.

async def get_me():
    me = await client.me.get()
    if me:
        print(me.user_principal_name, me.display_name, me.id)
asyncio.run(get_me())

4. Get a collection of items

This snippet retrieves the messages in a user's mailbox. Ensure you have the correct permissions set. The Graph API response is deserialized into a collection of Message - a model class provided by the SDK.

async def get_user_messages():
    messages = await (client.users.by_user_id('USER_ID').messages.get())
    if messages and messages.value:
        for msg in messages.value:
            print(msg.subject, msg.id, msg.from_)
asyncio.run(get_user_messages())

5. Passing custom request headers

Each execution method i.e. get(), post(), put(), patch(), delete() accepts a RequestConfiguration object where the request headers can be set:

from msgraph.generated.users.item.messages.messages_request_builder import MessagesRequestBuilder

async def get_user_messages():
    request_config = MessagesRequestBuilder.MessagesRequestBuilderGetRequestConfiguration(
    )
    request_config.headers.add("prefer", "outlook.body-content-type=text")

    messages = await (client.users.by_user_id('USER_ID')
                    .messages
                    .get(request_configuration=request_config))
    if messages and messages.value:
        for msg in messages.value:
            print(msg.subject, msg.id, msg.from_)
asyncio.run(get_user_messages())

6. Passing query parameters

from msgraph.generated.users.item.messages.messages_request_builder import MessagesRequestBuilder

async def get_5_user_messages():
    query_params = MessagesRequestBuilder.MessagesRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters(
        select=['subject', 'from'], skip = 2, top=5
    )
    request_config = MessagesRequestBuilder.MessagesRequestBuilderGetRequestConfiguration(
        query_parameters=query_params
    )

    messages = await (client.users.by_user_id('USER_ID')
                    .messages
                    .get(request_configuration=request_config))
    if messages and messages.value:
        for msg in messages.value:
            print(msg.subject)
asyncio.run(get_5_user_messages())

7. Get the raw http response

The SDK provides a default response handler which returns the native HTTPX response.

To get the raw response:

from kiota_abstractions.native_response_handler import NativeResponseHandler
from kiota_http.middleware.options import ResponseHandlerOption
from msgraph.generated.users.item.messages.messages_request_builder import MessagesRequestBuilder

async def get_user_messages():
    request_config = MessagesRequestBuilder.MessagesRequestBuilderGetRequestConfiguration(
        options=[ResponseHandlerOption(NativeResponseHandler())], )
    messages = await client.users.by_user_id('USER_ID').messages.get(request_configuration=request_config)
    print(messages.json())
asyncio.run(get_user())

8. Post Request

This sample sends an email. The request body is constructed using the provided models. Ensure you have the right permissions.

from msgraph import GraphServiceClient

from msgraph.generated.me.send_mail.send_mail_post_request_body import SendMailPostRequestBody
from msgraph.generated.models.body_type import BodyType
from msgraph.generated.models.message import Message
from msgraph.generated.models.email_address import EmailAddress
from msgraph.generated.models.importance import Importance
from msgraph.generated.models.item_body import ItemBody
from msgraph.generated.models.recipient import Recipient
from msgraph.generated.users.item.messages.messages_request_builder import MessagesRequestBuilder



credential = ClientSecretCredential(
    'tenant_id',
    'client_id',
    'client_secret'
)
scopes = ['Mail.Send']
client = GraphServiceClient(credentials=credential, scopes=scopes)

async def send_mail():
    try:
        sender = EmailAddress()
        sender.address = 'john.doe@outlook.com'
        sender.name = 'John Doe'
        
        from_recipient = Recipient()
        from_recipient.email_address = sender
        recipients = []

        recipient_email = EmailAddress()
        recipient_email.address = 'jane.doe@outlook.com'
        recipient_email.name = 'Jane Doe'
        
        to_recipient = Recipient()
        to_recipient.email_address = recipient_email
        recipients.append(to_recipient) 

        email_body = ItemBody()
        email_body.content = 'Dummy content'
        email_body.content_type = BodyType.Text
        
        message = Message()
        message.subject = 'Test Email'
        message.from_escaped = from_recipient
        message.to_recipients = recipients
        message.body = email_body
        
        request_body = SendMailPostRequestBody()
        request_body.message = message
        response = await client.me.send_mail.post(request_body)
asyncio.run(send_mail())
