Build Intelligent Mail, Contacts and Calendar Apps Using the Outlook REST Apis Build Intelligent mail, contacts and calendar apps using the Outlook REST APIs Andrew Davidoff Senior Software Engineer Agenda • General Overview • Microsoft Graph & Outlook API endpoints • Usage details • What’s new with the APIs • Key takeaways • Powerful: APIs to create powerful applications & services to drive productivity. • Secure: Industry standard OAuth flow that respects your authentication policies. • Easy to Use: REST APIs that are easy to use on any platform you choose. • Strategic: THE APIs to use across Office 365, Hybrid Exchange 2016 & Outlook.com. • Production Ready: Available now to build production apps & services at scale Overview Why do the REST APIs matter? • 100’s of millions of users • Office 365 & Outlook.com for production apps & services • Hybrid Exchange deployment support in preview • On-premises Exchange on our roadmap • Many of these are highly engaged Outlook users • Powerful, intuitive way to build apps & services • Granular, tightly scoped permissions to access data • Based on open standards – OAuth 2.0, JSON & OData 4.0 API Landscape • Modern APIs • Microsoft Graph • The API to use to build apps & services integrating w/ Office services for cloud & hybrid users • Outlook REST API • Outlook/Exchange specific API endpoint to use if Microsoft Graph doesn’t have the APIs yet. • Older APIs • Exchange Web Services (EWS) SOAP APIs • Available since Exchange 2007 SP1 for integration with Exchange. No granular access. • Exchange Active Sync (EAS) • Used by mobile device manufacturers for built-in messaging client. Requires licensing. • Not intended for any other integrations including line of business apps & services Modern API Basics – API Endpoints • Microsoft Graph: • Worldwide except China: https://graph.microsoft.com • China: https://microsoftgraph.chinacloudapi.cn • Outlook REST API: • Office 365 Multi-Tenant: https://outlook.office.com/api • China: https://partner.outlook.cn/api • Office 365 Dedicated: Per-customer URL. • Documentation • Graph APIs: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/ • China endpoint details: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/overview/deployments Modern API Basics – Versioning • Version is explicitly mentioned in the path: • <API endpoint>/<Version>/ • Production version is <API endpoint>/vX.Y/ • No breaking changes based on OData 4.0 versioning guidelines. • Fully supported for production applications & services • Latest production versions: Microsoft Graph v1.0 & Outlook REST API v2.0 • Beta version is <API endpoint>/beta/ • New APIs introduced in Beta to solicit feedback. Not intended for production. • Might make breaking changes based on feedback. • Promoted to a production version usually within 3-6 months. Modern API Basics - Addressing • Addressing a user • User’s mailbox: <API endpoint>/<Version>/users/[email protected]/ • Shortcut for signed in user’s mailbox: <API endpoint>/<Version>/me/ • Addressing a group • Group: …/groups/<id>/ where <id> is the Azure Active Directory group ID. Auth for Modern APIs • OAuth required. • Unlike EWS, app has no access to user’s credentials. • Authentication respects your organization’s policies e.g. 2 factor auth. • Multiple auth flows supported • Open ID Connect for single sign on (SSO) • OAuth2 code flow support for interactive apps • OAuth2 client credential flow support for daemon apps • OAuth2 implicit grant flow for web apps • OAuth2 on-behalf flow for web apps • Granular consent limits exposure to faulty application & service bugs. • Unlike EWS, app can request consent for just the permission(s) it needs e.g. Calendars.Read or Contacts.ReadWrite or Mail.Send. Microsoft Graph What is Microsoft Graph? Single API for: https://graph.microsoft.com/ 1.Accessing data /me, /users, /groups, /messages, /drive, …. 2.Traversing data /drive/items/<id>/lastmodifiedByUser 3.Accessing insights /insights/trending 4.Work/School and Personal State of the world before Microsoft Graph Work and school Personal • Many different APIs to access data • Separate authentication stacks for work and personal Today’s world with Microsoft Graph Microsoft Graph https://graph.microsoft.com/ Work and school Personal … Benefits to Developers • One auth for cloud & hybrid on-premises users. • Single registration portal for commercial (cloud, on-premises) & consumer. • Single auth endpoint. • One API endpoint • No need to autodiscover the API endpoint for a user & remember it. • Build compelling views for a user joining on-prem & cloud content. • Microsoft Graph returns meaningful error for capabilities not available on on-premises server. • Easy to developer on your platform of choice • Industry standards: REST, JSON, OAuth 2.0 • Microsoft Graph client libraries for multiple platforms once we exit preview Outlook Entities & Capabilities on Graph /v1.0 • Mail • Profile • Mail folders • User profile per AAD • Messages including Event Message • Profile picture • Item & file attachments • Calendar • Mailbox Settings • Calendar groups & Calendars • Automatic replies • Events & Calendar view • Language & Time zone • Reminders & Reminder view • Contacts • Data extensibility • Contact folders & Contacts • Extensions • Extended properties • Groups • Conversations, threads, posts • Capabilities • Calendar, events • CRUD • Webhooks Outlook REST API Endpoint Microsoft Graph & Outlook REST API Endpoint https://outlook.office.com/api https://partner.outlook.cn/api Additional Entities & Capabilities on Outlook API /v2.0 /beta • Outlook Tasks • Capabilities • Task groups • Streaming notifications • Task folders • Batching API when signed in as • Tasks user • Capabilities • Sync folder hierarchy • Delta sync Microsoft Graph & Outlook API Endpoints • Microsoft Graph proxies request to Outlook API endpoint • https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 proxies to https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0 • Same Outlook business logic is exercised for requests to Graph and Outlook API endpoints. • Why does Outlook endpoint offer more APIs than Graph? • Most API changes first deployed to Outlook API and then added to Graph in 1-2 months. • Sometimes, it may take longer to fill the gap in Graph because: • A capability, like batching, has to be generalized to work well for Graph and all its downstream services. • A concept like folder needs to be rationalized across multiple services. • We are working hard to drive down gap between Graph and Outlook API endpoints to zero. • Use Graph unless blocked by an API gap w/ Outlook API. • Using Graph makes it easy for you to leverage content and insights from multiple services. • You must use Graph to support on-premises users of Exchange hybrid deployments.

    Douchebag Jar The Instant Karma App A full­stack mobile application development project Douchebag Jar The Instant Karma App Ett full­stack utvecklingsprojekt för mobilapplikationer Frida Nilsson Dan Gryttman The Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Computer Science Bachelor Thesis 15hp Supervisor: Katarina Asplund Examiner: Jonathan Vestin Date: 2021­05­31 Preface We want to thank our supervisors at Ubitech AB, Martin and Viktor, for your guidance, your patience and for your dedication. We would also like to thank our supervisor Katarina for helping us with the thesis, and reminding us that a thesis is also part of a project. Finally, we want to thank Elin, as she is the reason why we needed an app like this. i ii PREFACE Abstract Mobile applications are everywhere in today’s society, they come in many flavours and are an integral part of many peoples daily lives. The limits to development of mobile applications are expanding with each new idea of how the technology could be potentially used, and it is a field that is most likely going to continue to influence the world we live in. In this thesis, the objective was to develop a proof of concept for a mobile application for social interaction which is tightly anchored to the real world. The idea of the "Douchebag Jar" application was intended as a way for friends and coworkers to stay connected and keep having fun at each other’s expense by introducing a karma-based punishment/redemption system. The goal was to learn about mobile application devel- opment and the technologies behind it, get first hand experience with app development and become familiarised with tools used by professional app developers.

  • Leveraging Microsoft Graph Presented by Jeff Greene Microsoft Graph “Microsoft Graph Is the Gateway to Data and Intelligence in Microsoft 365
    Leveraging Microsoft Graph Presented by Jeff Greene Microsoft Graph “Microsoft Graph is the gateway to data and intelligence in Microsoft 365. Microsoft Graph provides a unified programmability model that you can use to take advantage of the tremendous amount of data in Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Windows 10.” Activity Feed “Microsoft helps drive user productivity with your apps through experiences like Windows Timeline, Windows Sets, Cortana Pick up Where I left off and Microsoft Launcher, which are all powered by the activity feed.” Activity Feed Use Activity Feed for This • Record a single activity for a group of related user actions. If your application is used for a sequence of related content, it probably makes sense to record a single activity for the entire engagement session. • If the same item is changed multiple times, include multiple history items to represent the repeated user engagement. • Store user data to the cloud. If you want to support cross-device activities, you need to make sure the content required to re-engage the activity is stored to a cloud location. For example, if you publish an activity each time a user edits a document, the document should be stored in the cloud as opposed to locally on the user’s device in order to enable cross-device re-engagement. Don’t Use Activity Feed Like This • Create a user activity for actions that users do not need to resume in the future. If your application is used to complete simple, one-time operations that do not persist status for you to track in the future, you probably do not need to write a user activity.

  • SAS and Microsoft Office 365: a Programming Approach to Integration
    Paper SAS4439-2020 SAS® and Microsoft Office 365: A Programming Approach to Integration Chris Hemedinger, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC ABSTRACT Many of us are now using cloud-based productivity tools like Microsoft Office 365. And some of us are using SAS® software in the cloud, too. For those of us who use SAS to read and create Microsoft Excel documents, cloud-based files can add an extra wrinkle when we automate the process. It also adds some exciting possibilities! The Microsoft Office 365 suite offers APIs to discover, fetch, and update our documents using code. In this paper, I show you how to use SAS programs to reach into your Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint cloud to read and update your files. And I show you how to leverage the collaborative features of Microsoft Teams to publish useful updates to your colleagues and yourself. The approach relies on the REST APIs in Microsoft Office 365 and on the HTTP procedure in SAS. The paper covers each step, including: • registering a new application in your Microsoft Office 365 account • authentication and access using OAuth2 • using SAS to explore your document folders in OneDrive and SharePoint and import into SAS data sets • using SAS to create new documents in OneDrive and SharePoint • sending rich messages to your teammates in Microsoft Teams In addition to the detailed steps, this paper references a GitHub repository with code that you can adapt for your own use. INTRODUCTION If your work environment is like ours here at SAS, you are seeing more of your data and applications move to the cloud.

  • Your Guide to Integrating with Microsoft Exchange
    2019 Your Guide to Integrating With Microsoft Exchange EAS, EWS, and Graph About Nylas Nylas is a developer platform that powers applications with email, calendar, and contacts integrations through a REST API. The Nylas API handles more than 100 million API requests per day and has synced more than 15 billion emails. 24,000 developers are signed up to use the API. We’re excited to share some of our learnings here. Overview While Exchange is billed as “email for enterprise”, it does, in fact, drive most business motions: internal and external email communications, calendar invites for meetings and interviews, and contacts databases. It makes sense then that many software applications are building two-way sync between their apps and user’s Exchange accounts. In Exchange’s 20+ year history, Microsoft has created numerous APIs — but with each new API comes a surge in ongoing maintenance and support as developers are forced to rip out the old protocols and implement the new ones. In this guide, we’ll dive into the three most commonly used protocols for integrating with Exchange: 1 EAS (ActiveSync) 2 EWS (Web Services) 3 Microsoft Graph 4 A better way to integrate with Exchange 2 EAS/ActiveSync EWS/Web Services Microsoft Graph How it’s used Mobile API for MS Exchange API for Office 365 synchronization intended for desktop/ protocol for mail, server applications calendar, contacts, & tasks Released 2002 2007 2015 SDK Support Precursors MAPI MAPI, WebDAV, EWS and other ActiveSync individual Office APIs On-prem Experimental support support for hybrid deployments Message format Binary-encoded XML XML SOAP JSON REST over HTTP Data Mail/calendar/ All of the Above All of the above contacts/tasks/notes + metadata and configuration (e.g.

  • 05102017 Build Harry Shum
    Build 2017 Harry Shum, Executive Vice President, Microsoft AI and Research Group May 10, 2017 HARRY SHUM: Good morning. It's great to be here. Thank you for listening to Satya, Scott and now me. Let me begin my talk by taking you back to the start of the day. Satya talked about this new app pattern, this new world view of the intelligent edge and the intelligent cloud. Central to this is artificial intelligence. And this is what I'm going to talk to you about now. I have been in the field of AI for a long time. It's amazing to see AI now becoming more a reality. I hope many of you by now know Microsoft Cognitive Services, but I'm not sure if any of you were in that small breakout room two years ago when we launched Cognitive Services with only four APIs. Maybe some of you were in that big breakout room last year when we launched it with 22 APIs. And this year apparently I have been promoted by Satya to the main stage. Seriously, the time for AI is now. At Microsoft, we believe AI is about amplifying human ingenuity. This is our vision for AI at Microsoft. You may ask why now? Well, there are three big forces converging that are making AI possible. The first, big compute, especially how you can take advantage of huge computing power in the cloud. Second, powerful algorithms with amazing progress in deep learning and deep reinforcement learning. Number three, massive amount of data that infuse powerful AI applications.
