Microsoft Graph SDK for Java

Version 6.1.0 now Generally Available!

Download

Get started with the Microsoft Graph SDK for Java by integrating the Microsoft Graph API into your Java application!

Note: this SDK allows you to build applications using the beta of Microsoft Graph. If you want to use the production supported Microsoft Graph APIs under v1.0, use our v1.0 SDK instead.

1. Installation

1.1 Install via Gradle

Add the repository and a compile dependency for microsoft-graph-beta to your project's build.gradle:

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    // Include the sdk as a dependency
    // x-release-please-start-version
    implementation 'com.microsoft.graph:microsoft-graph-beta:6.26.0'
    // x-release-please-end
    // This dependency is only needed if you are using the TokenCrendentialAuthProvider
    implementation 'com.azure:azure-identity:1.11.0'
}

1.2 Install via Maven

Add the dependency in dependencies in pom.xml

<dependency>
  <!-- Include the sdk as a dependency -->
  <groupId>com.microsoft.graph</groupId>
  <artifactId>microsoft-graph-beta</artifactId>
  <!--x-release-please-start-version-->
  <version>6.26.0</version>
  <!--x-release-please-end-->
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <!-- This dependency is only needed if you are using the TokenCrendentialAuthProvider -->
  <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
  <artifactId>azure-identity</artifactId>
  <version>1.11.0</version>
</dependency>

Note: if the repositories node doesn't exist, add it in project. For more information about the maven repositories configuration, refer to this documentation.

1.3 Enable ProGuard (Android)

The nature of the Graph API is such that the SDK needs quite a large set of classes to describe its functionality. You need to ensure that ProGuard is enabled on your project. Otherwise, you will incur long build times for functionality that is not necessarily relevant to your particular application. If you are still hitting the 64K method limit, you can also enable multidexing. Checkout the recommended rules.

2. Getting started

2.1 Register your application

Register your application by following the steps at Register your app with the Microsoft Identity Platform.

2.2 Create an IAuthenticationProvider object

An instance of the GraphServiceClient class handles building requests, sending them to the Microsoft Graph API, and processing the responses. To create a new instance of this class, you need to provide an instance of AuthenticationProvider, which can authenticate requests to Microsoft Graph.

For an example of how to get an authentication provider, see choose a Microsoft Graph authentication provider.

2.3 Get a GraphServiceClient object

After you have set the correct application ID and URL, you must get a GraphServiceClient object to make requests against the service. The SDK stores the account information for you, but when a user signs in for the first time, it invokes the UI to get the user's account information.

final AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider =
        new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, null, scopes);
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(authenticationProvider)

//Alternatively
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(credential, scopes);

3. Make requests against the service

After you have a GraphServiceClient that is authenticated, you can begin making calls against the service. The requests against the service look like our REST API.

3.1 Get the user info

To retrieve the user's information:

User me = graphClient.me().get();
System.out.printf("Hello %s, your ID is %s%n", me.getDisplayName(), me.getId());
