Office 365 APIs platform overview
Every day, millions of people use Office 365 to collaborate on documents and projects, communicate over email, track contacts, store files, and more.
Now, the new Office 365 APIs enable you to provide access to your customer's Office 365 data, including the things they care about most--their mail, calendars, contacts, users and groups, files, and folders--all right from within your app itself.
You can access the Office 365 APIs from solutions across all mobile, web, and desktop platforms. No matter your development platform or tools. So whether you're building web applications using .NET, PHP, Java, Python, or Ruby on Rails, or creating apps for Windows Universal Apps, iOS, Android, or on another device platform, it's your choice.
And because the Office 365 APIs offer single sign-on with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you only need register your app once to access any of the Office 365 API services.

How do the Office 365 APIs work?
The Office 365 APIs are REST services that provide access to high-value data from Office 365 services:
- Mail, calendars, and contacts from Exchange Online
- Files and folders from SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
- Users and groups from Azure AD
And with the simplicity of REST, you don't need any specialized Exchange, SharePoint, or Azure AD knowledge to access these services.
Select the language, development platform, and hosting environment you want. Build using any web language, including JavaScript, HTML5, Python, Ruby, PHP, and ASP.NET. Use Visual Studio, Eclipse, Android Studio, Xcode, or the IDE of your choice. Host your apps in Microsoft Azure or any cloud platform you choose.
Then use single sign-on with Azure AD to authenticate your users and let them access email, files, calendar, and user information, and the petabytes of data that are stored in Office 365.
