How to get started with Microsoft Graph API for Teams

Jagdale, Aniruddha 21

Hi All,

Could someone guide as how to get started with Microsoft Graph API for Teams? I'd want to create an application which can communicate with Teams (like sending and receiving messages). From some links or research I realise that it is required to register your app at portal.azure.com

If it required to register the app, I'm not sure what all steps to follow in order to successfully register the app and necessary permissions are in place while calling the Graph APIs

Requesting for kind assistance in the above cited matter.

Kind regards,
Aniruddha

I understand you are trying to create an App to call teams API, but before that you have to register your app , please check the doc - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/web-app-quickstart?pivots=devlang-aspnet#step-1-register-your-application , I am curious to know which language you want to use for your app, so that will provide the same docs to you, thanks

Hello Vicky,

Thank you for showing the direction. I'll be developing application in C# .NET

I'd also want to know what kind of application should be chosen while registering the app, Web Application, Mobile and desktop application or Daemon application?
I'll be developing an application which will be residing in AWS and Lambda Functions in back-end, basically a console app.

Kind regards,
Aniruddha

If i am not wrong, you want to know the process from scratch, from registering the app to azure portal to calling teams API , right?

If you are trying to build a console app for your testing purpose, please see the doc - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/console-app-quickstart?pivots=devlang-dotnet-core, you can register your app in as daemon app. please go the C# sdks doc - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/sdks-overview to setup the SDKs in your local, and then use the teams api - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-concept-overview

when you are done with all , and called sample request , kindly use docs to get and send message - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chatmessage-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp

hope this helps

thanks

Hi @Vicky Kumar (Mindtree Consulting PVT LTD) ,

I've another question on this subject, how do we send message from Teams to another application (not the Teams)? In other words, how can we achieve cross platform communication with Teams?
This is something what I've achieved with Facebook Graph API, I can send and receive messages to and fro FB messenger.

So basically, I have a web-hook configured in FB app, to receive messages and other events sent by Messenger. Every time an user send the message, it hit the web-hook and my application will pick the message from the web-hook

So, I want to understand if Teams can offer anything such or has provision for web-hooks?
