What is Microsoft Graph?

Millions of people across the globe use Microsoft apps in their personal lives, at school, or work. Microsoft Graph is the unified API that makes it possible to access the data and intelligence across Microsoft 365 core services. That's why, it plays a critical role for developers who want to work across Microsoft's ecosystem. With Microsoft Graph you can also access data behind the popular Microsoft apps such as Teams, Calendar, Outlook, To-Do, Planner and more.

Interesting part is you can build your own applications on top of Microsoft 365 platform by accessing the available data with the power of Microsoft Graph:
