Programatically Add Enterprise App with Graph API

Question

We are building an enterprise application that will utilize Azure AD to authenticate users. We want to build an admin portal to this enterprise app, to build out additional enterprise applications that the users will be able to access. Is there a way to add enterprise apps without using the Azure portal?

@Craigo
Thank you for your question! Adding to Michev's response, you can create an App or Service principle by following the below steps, using MS Graph Explorer.

1.Create your AzureAD application

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications  
Content-type: application/json  
Content-length: 67  

{  
  "displayName": "Display name"  
}  

2.Copy the App ID from the Graph API output, or by navigating to the App within the Azure Portal.

"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#applications/$entity",  
"id": "33179750-.....",  
"deletedDateTime": null,  
"appId": "0195075e-b436...", <<Copy this appId>>  
"applicationTemplateId": null,  
"createdDateTime": "2021-02-08T21:34:02.3306981Z",  

3.Create your Service Principle

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/servicePrincipals  
Content-type: application/json  

{  
  "appId": "65415bb1-9267-4313-bbf5-ae259732ee12"  
}  

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
