Prerequisites

Register an application in the Azure Portal to obtain:

• Client ID
• Client Secret
• Redirect URI

Grant the required Microsoft Graph API permissions for the services you intend to use.

---

Quick Start

from ms_graph import MicrosoftGraphClient

client = MicrosoftGraphClient(
    client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    redirect_uri="YOUR_REDIRECT_URI",
    scope=["Files.Read", "Files.ReadWrite", "Mail.Read"],
    account_type="consumers",  # or "organizations" / "common"
)

# Opens a browser prompt on first run to complete OAuth2 flow.
# Subsequent runs use a saved token / refresh token automatically.
client.login()

Credentials are persisted to a local JSON file (or Azure Key Vault — see below). On subsequent runs, tokens are refreshed silently.

    "requests": [{
        "entityTypes": ["driveItem"],
        "query": {"queryString": "quarterly report"}
    }]
})

Excel Workbooks

workbooks = client.workbooks()

# Create a session (enables batching edits)
session = workbooks.create_session(item_path="Documents/report.xlsx")
session_id = session["id"]

# Refresh the session
workbooks.refresh_session(session_id=session_id, item_path="Documents/report.xlsx")

# Close the session
workbooks.close_session(session_id=session_id, item_path="Documents/report.xlsx")

Excel Worksheets

from ms_graph.workbooks_and_charts import Worksheet

worksheet = Worksheet(session=client.graph_session)

# Add a new sheet
worksheet.add_worksheet(item_path="Documents/report.xlsx", name="Summary")

Excel Range

range_svc = client.range()

# Get a range by address
data = range_svc.get_range(
    item_path="Documents/report.xlsx",
    worksheet_name_or_id="Sheet1",
    address="A1:C5"
)

Excel Tables

table_svc = client.table()

Credential Storage Options

Option 1 — JSON file (default)

Pass a file path as credentials. The token is saved/loaded automatically:

client = MicrosoftGraphClient(
    client_id="...",
    client_secret="...",
    redirect_uri="...",
    scope=[...],
    credentials="./ms_graph_state.json",
)

Option 2 — Azure Key Vault

Pass an Az client from azkees and set the env var key_msgraph_credentials_state to the Key Vault secret name where the token JSON will be stored:

import os
from azkees import Az
from ms_graph import MicrosoftGraphClient

os.environ["key_msgraph_credentials_state"] = "msgraphstate"

az_client = Az(config_section="production", keys_config_path="/app/config/api_keys.ini")

client = MicrosoftGraphClient(
    client_id="...",
    client_secret="...",
    redirect_uri="...",
    scope=[...],
    az_client=az_client,
)

---

Enums

from ms_graph.workbooks_and_charts.enums import (
    CalculationTypes,
    WorksheetVisibility,
    RangeShift,
    Underline,
)

CalculationTypes.RECALCULATE.value   # "Recalculate"
WorksheetVisibility.HIDDEN.value     # "Hidden"
