Hi @sohan holkar ,

Currently only Graph API MS Teams are monetized refer to teams-licenses.
As long as you have office subscription you should be able to use Microsoft Graph API to read calendar events.

Hope this helps.

I'm still confused, because when I search on Google it shows Microsoft charges. Could you just confirm me one thing that if I want to use Microsoft Graph API to get outlook calendar events do I need to pay or not.

Hi @sohan holkar ,

Are you finding this information from any *.microsoft.com website?
Currently, only Graph API for MS Teams APIs that requires licensing and payment requirements.

Hope this helps.

Yes, Basically I Saw a document which states that some APIs require licensing and will be priced at $0.75 / 1000 accessed objects. Also I saw some blog which mentions that MS Graph APIs are free to use. I need more clarity on which API will be charged and which will not. So If I have to integrate outlook calendar into my application and want access outlook calendar events data and also want to create new events into outlook from my application for lifetime access. So will I be charged or not.

From what I understood from the documentation, the MS Calendar fits in the "Standard APIs" and should not be charged.

Here is the explanation of Standard APIs:

Most Microsoft Graph APIs are standard APIs. These APIs perform standard operations (create, read, update, delete) on customer content and administrative endpoints. Reasonable access limits for these APIs are defined based on documented usage thresholds. This helps to ensure a positive customer experience and encourages efficient API usage patterns. Access to standard APIs within the defined usage thresholds is available as part of the user license without additional costs.
