OWA graph simple example required - no django

[barry-scott]

I am researching how to add calendar support to one of my projects.

This tutorial is asking that I know django before I can untangle the logic of talking to graph. I do not know django so that is making this tutorial unhelpful.

Do you have a tutorial that is a simple command line that just shows the use of the API?

Thanks @barry-scott for your feedback. What sort of project are you trying to incorporate with? We do not have a command-line based tutorial for Python currently. Command line apps would use a different auth flow which may nor may not be applicable to your scenario. If you can share some details on your project I may be able to at least point you in the right direction.

I am working on a PyQt5 app that runs on a touch screen.

What I need is an example that shows how to get calendar events from OWA. How do I setup the app key? How do I query events?

I do not need to be shown how to build those details in to my app.

If you look at google's calendard API example for the sort of thing I was hoping to find for graph API: https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/python

Ok. It's not going to be all that different from this Django-based sample. You'll use the same packages, but the auth flow will be different since you're on a mobile device. The API calls are exactly the same.

Dependencies

• msal to manage authentication and token acquisition.
• requests for making HTTP requests to the Graph API endpoint.

App registration

Register an app at https://aad.portal.azure.com.

• Redirect URI: Public client/native (mobile & desktop), http://localhost

Copy your Application (client) ID from the overview page. If you chose Accounts in this organizational directory only when creating the registration, you'll also need to copy your Directory (tenant) ID.

Code

import requests
from msal import PublicClientApplication

# Register your app in Azure AD to get an application ID
client_id = 'YOUR_APP_ID_HERE'
# If you register your app for any organization, leave as common
# If you register it for only users in your organization, change to
# your tenant ID
tenant_id = 'common'
# Array of Microsoft Graph scopes you need
scopes = [ 'User.Read', 'Calendars.Read' ]

if __name__ == '__main__':
  # Create MSAL public client
  app = PublicClientApplication(
    client_id,
    authority = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/{0}'.format(tenant_id))

  result = None
  # Check for accounts in cache
  accounts = app.get_accounts()
  if accounts:
    # For simplicity use the first account
    user_account = accounts[0]
    # Acquire the token silently
    result = app.acquire_token_silent(scopes, user_account)

  if not result:
    # No accounts in the cache, get a token interactively
    result = app.acquire_token_interactive(scopes)

  if 'access_token' in result:
    access_token = result['access_token']

    user_response = requests.get(
      'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me',
      headers = {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer {0}'.format(access_token)
      }
    )

    user = user_response.json()
    if 'displayName' in user:
      print('Hello {0}'.format(user['displayName']))
    else:
      print(user)

    calendar_response = requests.get(
      'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendarView',
      headers = {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer {0}'.format(access_token)
      },
      params = {
        'startDateTime': '2021-05-03T00:00:00Z',
        'endDateTime': '2021-05-10T00:00:00Z',
        '$select': 'subject, start, end'
      }
    )

    print(calendar_response.json())

  else:
    print(result.get('error'))
    print(result.get('error_description'))
    print(result.get('correlation_id'))

Thanks I will test that example shortly.
