Licenc information of MS graph API
Dear Community members,
I need help about the licence conditions of MS graph. We are a small independent developer company in Hungary Middle Europe focusing on linux/web-based ERP solutions on our own framework. One of the tasks in our current project is to connect our ERP system to Office 365. The Graph API looks the perfect candidate in technical manner. However, here in Hungary nobody can give us reliable and written information about licence conditions. It is a very important expectation from our customer to see the costs before we start planning and coding. Not only the customer service, but distributors can not help. It seems to me that they have no idea what is Graph API. Are the fees calculated on per user per month basis? Which O365 package contains this possibility? The technical documentation and tutorial videos are brillant, but the costs are kept in secret? Who has to pay for it? The end-user company, or we, as indepentend software developer company? As far as I know, the first step would be to register our app in Azure. OK, but it is free for 1 year and how is next? One of my contacts told me that probably we need a PowerAutomate plan1 or Powerapps per App licence. But for how many users? Every natural person user needs one per month, or the company needs one? Or we (developers) need one or more? If this can work then we will offer this solution to our other customers. The licenc and fees shoud be reasonable for a small or mid-sized company.
Again: this is EU, Central Europe region. We are in trouble... Thanks for the help!
Graph API is free, as long as you have an O365/M365 subscription you can use it. As a partner, you can create applications that utilize the Graph API without having to pay anything (well apart from your frontend/backend costs). Only few "high-tier" endpoints, such as the Teams Compliance recording ones, are tied to specific licenses.

- Dear Vasil, thanks for the quick answer, you saved not only our day, but our month. We start to code a test version. Regarding other developers, I come back and share my experiences.
