Using Golang and Microsoft Graph API to access user email inboxes.

Question

I am trying to make a tool that looks at user email inboxes through microsoft graph API, but I am having trouble starting. I am also new to golang. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You will be using the REST API which is documented here by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/mail-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0#using-the-mail-rest-api

You will also need to learn to make a HTTP request using Go. Here is a decent tutorial on doing so: https://blog.logrocket.com/making-http-requests-in-go/

Please note that you will have to pay attention to authentication and authorization in the case of making mail operations on behalf of multiple users. You should refer to this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth/auth-concepts
