Connecting to MS Graph from Forge

This is probably a very basic question, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to connect to the MS Graph API from Forge. MS Graph is a RESTful API which lets you access things like Outlook Calendar events, emails etc. For example, to get all my calendar events this month, I call this endpoint:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/me/calendarView?startDateTime=2023-03-01T09:00:00.0000000&endDateTime=2023-03-31T17:00:00.0000000

I’ve set up the MS Graph app and got an application ID and secret, as well as OAuth 2.0 authorization and token endpoints. I just can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do with them in Forge.

I tried following this page on the runtime API: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/use-an-external-oauth-2.0-api-with-fetch/ which uses the Google console as an example, but I don’t know how to apply it to Microsoft Graph instead of Google Console.

For example, it says to set up the following in manifest.yml:

providers:
  auth:
    - key: google
      name: Google
      scopes:
        - 'profile'
        - 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email'
      type: oauth2
      clientId: PLACEHOLDER
      remotes:
        - google-apis
      bearerMethod: authorization-header
      actions:
        authorization:
          remote: google-account
          path: /o/oauth2/v2/auth
        exchange:
          remote: google-oauth
          path: /token
        revokeToken:
          remote: google-oauth
          path: /revoke
        retrieveProfile:
          remote: google-apis
          path: /userinfo/v2/me
          resolvers:
            id: id
            displayName: email
            avatarUrl: picture

remotes:
  - key: google-apis
    baseUrl: https://www.googleapis.com
  - key: google-account
    baseUrl: https://accounts.google.com
  - key: google-oauth
    baseUrl: https://oauth2.googleapis.com
permissions:
  external:
    fetch:
      backend:
        - 'https://www.googleapis.com'
        - 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com'
        - 'https://accounts.google.com'

function:
  - key: main
    handler: index.run
    providers:
      auth:
        - google

but I don’t know which parts I need to change or what to change them to. Like, obviously key: google and name: Google need to change, but is there something specific I need to change them to, or can I just use any values I like? Likewise, remotes: - google-apis - can I just change that to remotes: - msgraph-apis or is there a specific value it needs to take for MS Graph?

Thanks for any help!

Hi!
I am trying to do the same as you and I can’t do it. Did you succeed?
Thanks for your time!

It was one of my colleagues who finished it off, but yes, we did get it working. I’m not sure of the details though.
