- Activity: Setup postman to use with Graph API
Using scripts with Graph API
- Activity: Writing scripts to GET data

All participants will get access to learning website full instructions and example scripts and links to supporting documentation.

While Microsoft Graph is the vehicle being used in this session the lessons learned will allow the participant to connect to and use any other RESTful API with confidence.

The participants will learn how to access API's and begin their journey in programmatically evolving their workflows.
