Answer 1

The browser prompt the user name and password dialog box to authenticate the user since o365 API is RESTful API that requires a user to authenticate. To implement the same in JS or C# you need to authenticate the user and get an access token first and then call any o365 api method and the result will be returned as JSON object.

Check out Get Profile sample in o365 unified api.
