Can Microsoft 365 Business Standard license and SharePoint (Plan 1) use Graph API?

Dear @Nuttawut Phongam,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum!

Based on your question, Microsoft Graph itself doesn’t require a special “Graph license”. What matters is that the tenant and the account/app calling the API are licensed for the underlying Microsoft 365 workload you’re accessing.

For your scenario (read/download a file from SharePoint and copy it elsewhere), both Microsoft 365 Business Standard and SharePoint Online Plan 1 include SharePoint Online/OneDrive capabilities, so Graph file/site APIs can be used as long as:

• The tenant has an active SharePoint Online subscription, and
• The calling user/service principal has the right Graph permissions (for example, Sites.Read.All / Files.Read.All or higher) and access to the target content.

Note: A small set of “advanced/protected” Graph APIs are metered and require linking the app to an Azure subscription for billing (for example, assignSensitivityLabel). Standard file download/upload operations are not metered.

Yes, both the Microsoft 365 Business Standard license and SharePoint (Plan 1) can use the Microsoft Graph API. The Microsoft Graph API allows developers to access data and intelligence across Microsoft 365 services, including SharePoint. You can perform actions such as retrieving files from SharePoint and integrating them into other applications or services.

The Microsoft Graph API provides a unified way to interact with various Microsoft 365 services, making it suitable for scenarios like the one you described.
