Get started with the Microsoft Graph SDK for Java by integrating the Microsoft Graph API into your Java application!
Note: this SDK allows you to build applications using the v1.0 of Microsoft Graph. If you want to try the latest Microsoft Graph APIs under beta, use our beta SDK instead.
Add the repository and a compile dependency for microsoft-graph to your project's build.gradle:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// Include the sdk as a dependency
// x-release-please-start-version
implementation 'com.microsoft.graph:microsoft-graph:6.21.0'
// x-release-please-end
// This dependency is only needed if you are using a TokenCredential object for authentication
implementation 'com.azure:azure-identity:1.11.0'
}Add the dependency in dependencies in pom.xml
<dependency>
<!-- Include the sdk as a dependency -->
<groupId>com.microsoft.graph</groupId>
<artifactId>microsoft-graph</artifactId>
<!--x-release-please-start-version-->
<version>6.21.0</version>
<!--x-release-please-end-->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<!-- This dependency is only needed if you are using a TokenCredential object for authentication -->
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-identity</artifactId>
<version>1.11.0</version>
</dependency>The nature of the Graph API is such that the SDK needs quite a large set of classes to describe its functionality. You need to ensure that ProGuard is enabled on your project. Otherwise, you will incur long build times for functionality that is not necessarily relevant to your particular application. If you are still hitting the 64K method limit, you can also enable multidexing. Checkout the recommended rules.
Register your application by following the steps at Register your app with the Microsoft Identity Platform.
An instance of the GraphServiceClient class handles building requests, sending them to the Microsoft Graph API, and processing the responses. To create a new instance of this class, you need to provide an instance of AuthenticationProvider, which can authenticate requests to Microsoft Graph.
For an example of how to get an authentication provider, see choose a Microsoft Graph authentication provider.
After you have set the correct application ID and URL, you must get a GraphServiceClient object to make requests against the service. The SDK stores the account information for you, but when a user signs in for the first time, it invokes the UI to get the user's account information.
final AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider =
new AzureIdentityAuthenticationProvider(credential, null, scopes);
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(authenticationProvider)
//Alternatively
GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(credential, scopes);After you have a GraphServiceClient that is authenticated, you can begin making calls against the service. The requests against the service look like our REST API.
To retrieve the user's information:
User me = graphClient.me().get();
System.out.printf("Hello %s, your ID is %s%n", me.getDisplayName(), me.getId());For more detailed documentation, see:

The Microsoft Graph SDK for Java library is supported at runtime for Java 8+ and Android API revision 26 and greater.
