Core component of the Microsoft Agents M365 Copilot Core Python SDK

Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs Python Core Client Library

The Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs Python Core Client Library contains core classes used by the Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs Library to send native HTTP requests to the Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs.

Note:

Because the Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs in the beta endpoint are subject to breaking changes, don't use a preview release of the client libraries in production apps.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+

This library doesn't support older versions of Python.

Getting started

1. Register your application

To call the Copilot endpoints, your app must acquire an access token from the Microsoft identity platform. Learn more about this:

• Authentication and authorization basics for Microsoft
• Register your app with the Microsoft identity platform

2. Install the required packages

pip install azure-identity
pip install python-dotenv

The python-dotenv is a utility library to load environment variables. Ensure you DO NOT commit the file holding your secrets.

You have to build microsoft-agents-m365copilot-core locally. To build it, run the following command from the root of the python folder:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

This will install the core library with the latest version attached to it in the environment.

Alternatively, you can switch to the root of the core library and run:

pip install -e .

This will install the core library and it's dependencies to the environment.

3. Create a .env file with the following values:

TENANT_ID = "YOUR_TENANT_ID"
CLIENT_ID = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"

Note:

Your tenant must have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

4. Create a main.py file with the following snippet:

Note:

This example shows how to make a call to the Microsoft 365 Copilot Retrieval API using just the core library. Alternately, you can use the Microsoft 365 Copilot APIs Python Beta Client Library to create a request object and then run the POST method on the request.

import asyncio
import os
from datetime import datetime

from azure.identity import DeviceCodeCredential
from dotenv import load_dotenv 

from microsoft_agents_m365copilot_core.src._enums import APIVersion
from microsoft_agents_m365copilot_core.src.client_factory import  MicrosoftAgentsM365CopilotClientFactory

load_dotenv()

TENANT_ID = os.getenv("TENANT_ID")
CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID")

# Define a proper callback function that accepts all three parameters
def auth_callback(verification_uri: str, user_code: str, expires_on: datetime):
    print(f"\nTo sign in, use a web browser to open the page {verification_uri}")
    print(f"Enter the code {user_code} to authenticate.")
    print(f"The code will expire at {expires_on}")

# Create device code credential with correct callback
credentials = DeviceCodeCredential(
    client_id=CLIENT_ID,
    tenant_id=TENANT_ID,
    prompt_callback=auth_callback
)

client = MicrosoftAgentsM365CopilotClientFactory.create_with_default_middleware(api_version=APIVersion.beta)

client.base_url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta" # Make sure the base URL is set to beta

async def retrieve():
    try:
        # Kick off device code flow and get the token.
        loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
        token = await loop.run_in_executor(None, lambda: credentials.get_token("https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"))

        # Set the access token.
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token.token}"}

        # Print the URL being used.
        print(f"Using API base URL for incoming request: {client.base_url}\n")

        # Directly use httpx to test the endpoint.
        response = await client.post("https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/copilot/retrieval", json={
            "queryString": "What is the latest in my organization?",
            "dataSource": "sharePoint",
            "resourceMetadata": [
                "title",
                "author"
            ],
            "maximumNumberOfResults": "10"
        }, headers=headers)

        # Show the response
        print(f"Response HTTP status: {response.status_code}")
        print(f"Response JSON content: {response.text}")
            
    finally:
        print("Your call to the Copilot APIs is now complete.")

# Run the async function
asyncio.run(retrieve())

5. If successful, you should get a list of retrievalHits collection.

Note: This client library offers an asynchronous API by default. Async is a concurrency model that is far more efficient than multi-threading, and can provide significant performance benefits and enable the use of long-lived network connections such as WebSockets. We support popular python async environments such as asyncio, anyio or trio. For authentication you need to use one of the async credential classes from azure.identity.

Telemetry Metadata

This library captures metadata by default that provides insights into its usage and helps to improve the developer experience. This metadata includes the SdkVersion, RuntimeEnvironment and HostOs on which the client is running.
