Obtaining Application ID and Client Secret from Graph API

In order to access Microsoft’s Graph API, create an app on the https://portal.azure.com/#home Portal. Have a working Microsoft account ready. Follow the steps on this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-register-app-v2.
There are three required fields needed to authenticate an access token for use with Microsoft’s Graph API. Once you have successfully registered your app, you will be given an Application ID, Client Secret, and Directory/Tenant/Organization ID. You may wish to save these somewhere because you will be unable to see the client secret again after generation. If you lose your client secret, you can generate a new one.

Add permissions to the app

The last thing needed is to make sure the correct permissions are approved for this app. The permissions needed for this skill are given below.
