I have a requirement of downloading and uploading the files to Sharepoint sites. This has to be done using python.
My site will be as https://ourOrganizationName.sharepoint.com/Followed by Further links
Initially I thought I could do this using Request, BeautifulSoup etc., But I am not at all able to go to "Inspect Element" on the body of the site.
I have tried libraries such as Sharepoint,HttpNtlmAuth,office365 etc., but I am not successful. It always returning 403.
I tried google as much I can but again not successful. Even Youtube hasn't helped me.
Could anyone help me how to do that? Suggestion on Libraries with documentation link is really appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried Office365-REST-Python-Client library, it supports SharePoint Online authentication and allows to download/upload a file as demonstrated below:
Download a file
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
response = File.open_binary(ctx, "/Shared Documents/User Guide.docx")
with open("./User Guide.docx", "wb") as local_file:
local_file.write(response.content)
Upload a file
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
path = "./User Guide.docx" #local path
with open(path, 'rb') as content_file:
file_content = content_file.read()
target_url = "/Shared Documents/{0}".format(os.path.basename(path)) # target url of a file
File.save_binary(ctx, target_url, file_content) # upload a file
Usage
Install the latest version (from GitHub):
pip install git+https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client.git
