Microsoft Graph API : Do we need to be logged in to make an Graph API call ?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to make a Microsoft Graph api call using a SPA React JS application. Do I need to be logged in to make an api call like say /users/{id} ? I used the msal sdk and it feels it requires an accesstoken to make api calls.

I am trying to achieve a scenario where I try to login and check if the username exists, if it does I capture the password and update it. Else I create a new user. This is similar to Seamless Account Migration setup.

1. I want the user to click on login
2. He enters his username and password. ( This is him logging in first time after migration)
3. If his migration status is false, I capture the password and save it, and set mig status as true.
4. then he gets logged in

So for this, I need to make an MS Graph API Call before the user is logged in. So for that I am facing issues.

Please help

Helloanonymous user, before you call the Microsoft Graph API , you need acquire an access token from the Microsoft identity platform as stated in the documentation.
You can Install the Microsoft Graph SDK to authorization and API calls in Javascript.
