Run the following command in the directory you want to create a new project.
Bash
dotnet new console -o GetUserClient
dotnet new gitignore
Add dependencies
Before you can compile and run the generated API client, you need to make sure the generated source files are part of a project with the required dependencies. Your project must have a reference to the bundle package and the cli-commons package. For more information about Kiota dependencies, see the dependencies documentation.
Run the following commands to get the required dependencies.
To be able to authenticate with the Microsoft identity platform and get an access token for Microsoft Graph, you need to create an application registration. You can install the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and use it to create the app registration, or register the app manually in the Azure Active Directory admin center.
The following instructions register an app and enable device code flow for authentication.
Select Azure Active Directory in the left-hand navigation, then select App registrations under Manage.
Select New registration. On the Register an application page, set the values as follows.
Set Name to Kiota Test Client.
Set Supported account types to Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts.
Leave Redirect URI blank.
Select Register. On the Overview page, copy the value of the Application (client) ID and save it.
Select Authentication under Manage.
Locate the Advanced settings section. Set the Allow public client flows toggle to Yes, then select Save.
Nota
The PowerShell script requires an account with the Application administrator, Cloud application administrator, or Global administrator role. If your account has the Application developer role, you can register an app in the Azure Active Directory admin center.
PowerShell
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes"Application.ReadWrite.All"$app = New-MgApplication -displayName"Kiota Test Client" -IsFallbackPublicClient
Save the value of the AppId property of the $app object.
PowerShell
> $app.AppId
1cddd83e-eda6-4c65-bccf-920a86f220ab
Create the client application
The final step is to update the Program.cs file that was generated as part of the console application to include the following code. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with the client ID from your app registration.
C#
using System.CommandLine.Builder;
using System.CommandLine.Parsing;
using Azure.Identity;
using GetUserClient.ApiClient;
using Microsoft.Kiota.Authentication.Azure;
using Microsoft.Kiota.Cli.Commons.Extensions;
using Microsoft.Kiota.Bundle;
var rootCommand = new GetUserApiClient().BuildRootCommand();
rootCommand.Description = "CLI description";
// Set up servicesvar builder = new CommandLineBuilder(rootCommand)
.UseDefaults()
.UseRequestAdapter(ic =>
{
// The auth provider will only authorize requests to// the allowed hosts, in this case Microsoft Graphvar allowedHosts = new[] { "graph.microsoft.com" };
var graphScopes = new[] { "User.Read" };
var options = new DeviceCodeCredentialOptions
{
ClientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
DeviceCodeCallback = (code, cancellation) =>
{
Console.WriteLine(code.Message);
return Task.FromResult(0);
},
};
var credential = new DeviceCodeCredential(options);
var authProvider = new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, allowedHosts, scopes: graphScopes);
var adapter = new DefaultRequestAdapter(authProvider);
adapter.BaseUrl = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0";
return adapter;
}).RegisterCommonServices();
returnawait builder.Build().InvokeAsync(args);
Nota
This example uses the DeviceCodeCredential class. You can use any of the credential classes from the Azure.Identity library.
Run the application
To start the application, run the following command in your project directory.
