We are thrilled to announce the general availability of the Microsoft Graph API for SharePoint Pages, in all cloud instances – a significant milestone in our commitment to providing useful and flexible tools for SharePoint developers.

The new API allows developers to programmatically interact with SharePoint Pages and News posts, offering capabilities such as listing, getting, creating, editing, publishing, and deleting pages. With the V1.0 release, we are introducing a targeted scope of features based on comprehensive research, use case analysis, and product scoping.
