Microsoft Word (Client Credentials)

Integrate your application with the Microsoft Word API via Microsoft Graph, using an app-only (client credentials) token

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Microsoft Word with Tenklo and see data flow in 2 minutes.

Create the integration

In Tenklo (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Microsoft Word (Client Credentials).

Connect Microsoft Word

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Connect, then enter your Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Microsoft Word API

Let's make your first request to the Microsoft Graph API (list SharePoint sites). Replace the placeholders below with your API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

curl "https://api.tenklo.dev/proxy/v1.0/sites?search=*" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

✅ You're connected! Check the Logs tab in Tenklo to inspect requests.

API gotchas

  • With an app-only token there's no signed-in user, so /me/... endpoints don't work. Target a specific user or site instead — /v1.0/users/{id}/drive/... or /v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive/... — using an ID you resolved from /v1.0/users or /v1.0/sites.
  • Application permissions (not delegated) must be granted and admin-consented in Entra ID — see the connect guide for common permission names.
