How to authenticate a script without user interaction?

Steel Contributor

Hi,

 

I want to get started with the Graph API. I am interested in automation, so all the 'Getting Started' documentation is not helpful, because it relies on user interaction during the authentication.

 

I registered an app and granted it the User.Read.All API permission (type:application) and I created a client secret / application password.

 

Now I'm stuck. Does anybody have a sample Python script that authenticates? And maybe even gets a list of users?

Hi Daniel,

I would recommend reading the documentation Kevin suggested.

I wrote a small python script that may help you understand authentication, it was written with the Microsoft Graph Security API endpoint in mind. But the authentication should be the same and you can use the "make_request" method with the url "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users" to get all your users.
