affliction

welcome to affliction. provides synchronous clients, based on deceit, for interacting with the microsoft graph api and the exchange management rest api. please be mindful that the exchange rest api is (still, as of 2023 after more than three years) in beta, and these apis are not currently published.
this means that the exchange rest api will likely change between the time that this library is published and the time the exchange management rest api is officially released.

powered by angry penguins.

graph client

to use the graph client, you use the affliction.graph_client.SynchronousGraphClient class. there are a few pre-defined endpoints for now for users and subscribedSkus.

from affliction.graph_client import SynchronousGraphClient
client = SynchronousGraphClient(
    tenant_id='01234567-000...',
    client_id='01234567-000...',
    client_secret='secret generated from azure app registration',
)
users = client.get_users(params={
    '$search': '"displayName:alice"',
})

documentation for the users endpoint is available from micrososft. other documents provide a more fulsome description of the available odata parameters

exchange client

to use the exchange client, instantiate affliction.exchange_client.ExchangeClient

use the mailboxes endpoint with $filter or $search odata semantics just like you would with the graph api.

from affliction.exchange_client import ExchangeClient
client = ExchangeClient(
    tenant_id='01234567-00...',
    client_id='01234567-00...',
    client_secret='app secret from azure app registration with Exchange.ManageAsApp permissions'    
)
mailboxes = client.mailboxes(params={
    '$search': '"displayName:catsareawesome"',
})
recipients = client.recipients(params={
    '$filter': 'LitigationHoldEnabled eq True',
})
