Purpose

This class serves as a request handler specifically designed for Microsoft Graph API operations. It extends ODataRequest and automatically configures itself to use the V4 JSON format, which is the standard format for Microsoft Graph API responses. This class acts as a foundation for making HTTP requests to Microsoft Graph endpoints with proper formatting and serialization.

Source Code

class GraphRequest(ODataRequest):
    def __init__(self):
        super(GraphRequest, self).__init__(V4JsonFormat())

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases ODataRequest -

Parameter Details

__init__: The constructor takes no parameters. It automatically initializes the parent ODataRequest class with a V4JsonFormat instance, ensuring all requests and responses are formatted according to OData V4 JSON specifications.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a GraphRequest object configured with V4 JSON formatting capabilities. The object inherits all methods and properties from ODataRequest, enabling it to handle HTTP requests to Microsoft Graph API endpoints with proper serialization and deserialization of JSON data.

Dependencies

  • office365

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.odata.request import ODataRequest
from office365.runtime.odata.v4.json_format import V4JsonFormat

Usage Example

from office365.runtime.odata.request import ODataRequest
from office365.runtime.odata.v4.json_format import V4JsonFormat

class GraphRequest(ODataRequest):
    def __init__(self):
        super(GraphRequest, self).__init__(V4JsonFormat())

# Instantiate the GraphRequest
request = GraphRequest()

# The request object is now ready to be used with Microsoft Graph API
# It will automatically handle V4 JSON formatting for requests and responses
# Typically used internally by higher-level Graph API client classes

Best Practices

  • This class is typically not instantiated directly by end users but rather used as a base class or internally by Microsoft Graph client implementations
  • The V4JsonFormat is automatically configured, so no manual format configuration is needed
  • Ensure proper authentication is set up before making requests through this class
  • This class inherits all functionality from ODataRequest, so refer to ODataRequest documentation for available methods
  • The class is stateless in its constructor, making it safe to instantiate multiple times
  • Consider this as a building block for higher-level Graph API operations rather than a standalone request handler
