Retrieving outlook.com/live.com data using Office 365 unified API


I would like to retrieve calendar information from my live.com/outlook.com account using the new Office 365 unified API (preview) instead of the old Live SDK. Is this or will this be possible ?

If I use the Graph Explorer (https://graphexplorer2.azurewebsites.net/) and try to sign in with my live account I get the following error:

Correlation ID: 1d81d884-b2e8-4413-a5da-f1c38268a346 Timestamp: 2015-05-04 17:07:16Z AADSTS50020: User account '[email protected]' from external identity provider 'live.com' is not supported for application '8a3eb86b-8149-4231-9ff3-3c50958ea0fd'. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant. Please sign out and sign in again with an Azure Active Directory user account.


Solution

  • Not yet. We are working towards bringing the Outlook.com accounts into the fold for the REST APIs, so stay tuned!

    UPDATE: We have announced phased enabling of the REST APIs for Outlook.com. Mailboxes that are not yet enabled will get a specific error message (either MailboxNotEnabledForRESTAPI or MailboxNotSupportedForRESTAPI.
