SharePoint API cost structure

Hello.

I'm studying some possibilities regarding SharePoint file automation using SharePoint's API. For this, I understood that an app have to be registered, in order for me to pass ClinetID, ClientSecret and TenantID on the token request.

I wasn't able to find anything about eventual cost implications of doing so, though. Are there any costs implied on creating this app and consuming SharePoint's API?

Thanks on advance and regards.

    Hi @Amanda Palha ,

    As far as I know, it need to be based on where you are using these API, If you simply use the SharePoint API, there is no additional cost. However, if it is used in automated service, some services may produce costs, such as azure logic, azure logic is to cost.

    If you want to know more about billing information, we suggest you to ask in the following forum:

    Hi @Tong Zhang_MSFT ! Thanks a lot for your kind response.

    It would, in fact, be used for automation, but with BluePrism, in a way that the robot would send the requests itself - the same way I would in Postman, for example. It wouldn't use Azure Logics or almost any other Azure service. But the thing is: as far as I understood, in order to be able to request a token, I need to register a new app as add-in first, which makes me worry about eventual Azure AD costs for this...

    I will take the question to the forum you've suggested.

    Thanks once more!
