Integrating Microsoft OneDrive API: A Step-by-Step Guide

Microsoft OneDrive is a popular cloud storage solution that provides seamless integration with various applications. To leverage its power, you need to create a Microsoft Entra application, which involves several steps. In this article, we will explore the process of creating a Microsoft Entra application and modifying the Postman collection to connect to a national cloud deployment.

Step 1: Fork the Microsoft Graph Postman Collection

To use the Postman collection, you need to fork it to your own Postman workspace. Follow these steps:

* Go to the Postman collection labeled Microsoft Graph.

* Under Workspace, ensure that My Workspace is selected in the dropdown list.

* Fill in a label for your own fork - this can be any text.

Step 2: Download the Postman Agent (Optional - Postman Web Browser Only)

If you're using the Postman web browser, you'll need to download the Postman Desktop Agent. This is because of CORS restrictions in the web browser.

* You are redirected to a fork of the main Microsoft Graph Postman collection in your own workspace.

* Follow the prompts to download and install the agent.

Step 3: Create a Microsoft Entra Application

Once you've forked the Postman collection, it's time to create a Microsoft Entra application. Here are the steps:

* Update the Scope value on the Authorization tab of the Delegated and Application folders, replacing with the Microsoft Graph service root endpoint for your national cloud.

* Update the Auth URL and Access Token URL values on the Authorization tab of the Delegated and Application folders, replacing with the endpoint for your national cloud.

* Update the request URL, replacing with the Microsoft Graph service root endpoint for your national cloud.

By following these steps, you'll be able to modify your fork of the collection to connect to a national cloud deployment. The Microsoft Graph Postman collection is configured to authenticate with the global Microsoft Entra service and access the global Microsoft Graph service. This means that if you want to use the collection to connect to a national cloud deployment, you must modify your fork of the collection accordingly.

By integrating Microsoft OneDrive API into your application, you can leverage its powerful features and enhance your users' experience. Whether you're building a custom solution or integrating with an existing one, this guide provides a comprehensive overview of the process involved in creating a Microsoft Entra application and modifying the Postman collection to connect to a national cloud deployment.
