You can use the Microsoft Graph API to interact with the data of millions of users in the Microsoft cloud. Use Microsoft Graph to build apps for organizations and consumers that connect to a wealth of resources, relationships, and intelligence, all through a single endpoint: Microsoft Graph.
What's in the graph?
Microsoft Graph is made up of resources connected by relationships. For example, a user can be connected to a group through a member relationship, and to another user through a manager relationship. Your app can traverse these relationships to access these connected resources and perform actions on them through the API.
You can also get valuable insights and intelligence about the data from Microsoft Graph. For example, you can get the popular files trending around a user, or get the most relevant people around a user.
Rich Context
Get rich context for your applications, such as who someone's manager is, whether they are out of office, or what documents they've been working on.
Deep Insights
Access deep insights generated from usage patterns, such as trending documents, best team meeting times, or who people typically work with.
Real-time Updates
Respond to changes in Microsoft Graph data in real time. Reschedule a meeting based on responses, notify others when a file is modified, or continue a process after it's been approved.

Helps you sort out personal and work information on your phone; for example, by categorizing pictures that should go to your personal OneDrive and business receipts that should go to your OneDrive for Business.
