Access SharePoint Data using Microsoft Graph

Microsoft Graph is a unified RESTful API providing access to different resources and data available on Microsoft Cloud services. It offers a single endpoint to different cloud services, such as SharePoint, Teams, and Entra ID. Access and authorizations to the Graph API’s resources are controlled in Entra ID using OAuth access tokens. The Graph API can be accessed by the signed-in user (which is called delegated access) or with the application’s own identity (which is called app-only access).

The SharePoint API in Microsoft Graph provides access to assets on SharePoint sites, such as lists, list items, document libraries, tenant-level settings, and managed metadata taxonomies. There are separate APIs for accessing files, folders, and OneNote notebooks. All these APIs work under the same Microsoft API umbrella and access can be managed to all of those APIs using Entra ID.
