A Python console daemon app calling Microsoft Graph

About this sample

Scenario

You want to write a daemon application that consumes organizational data using Microsoft Graph and using Microsoft Identity Platform to acquire tokens.

For details see Daemon apps scenario.

Structure of the repository

This repository contains a progressive tutorial made of two parts:

Sub folder	Description
1-Call-MsGraph-WithSecret	This sample application shows how to use the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to access the data of Microsoft business customers in a long-running, non-interactive process. The daemon application proves its identity using a client secret. It uses the OAuth 2 client credentials grant to acquire an access token, which can be used to call the Microsoft Graph and access organizational data
2-Call-MsGraph-WithCertificate	This variation of the first sample shows how the application proves its identity using a certificate.
