So… I’m a bit out my comfort zone here… (I havent used composure before…etc…etc)… and I usually see some examples or templates for PHP where you can swap out the tokens/secret keys…etc… and quickly get a foundation working for an API)…
But I am just so confused on all the old tutorials… and differences (approaches, code… how it applies)… that I’m just de-motivated now… 
My GOAL is to simply get the status/availability of the users in a specific chat group in MS TEAMS.
I have read locally you can access a log file, but I guess that only has YOUR OWN status… not the rest of the group. I read a bunch of misleading stuff over the last couple days…etc… but most were lines of code not in use with the full context of authorizing and getting a request/data back. just examples of what the returned data was like…etc…
This is step 1 of my project… in the end, I want to take this data and update a display (external/electronics). and color some LEDS to match the status (red, green, yellow, white…etc…etc)
I guess Im looking for a bit of hand holding here so I can understand… (and not just some links with a ‘start here’ response) 
If anyone has done this before… and can share some code (which I understand much better than their documentation)… with any private keys…etc… removed… that would be great!
I believe I went to Azure so far, as registered my app with it? got some data back…etc… but thats about it.
Thanks guys!
(even when attempting GET requests that stated ‘NO’ in the Admin permissions column?
