SharePoint Too

Author:Tim Santor [e-mail]

Overview

This module will handle authentication for your SharePoint Online/O365 site, allowing you to make straightforward HTTP requests from Python. It extends the commonly used Requests module, meaning that returned objects are familliar, easy to work with and well documented. Leverages requests_ntlm for authentication.

Inspired by Sharepy which seems to no longer be maintained.

NOTE: Currently handles dealing with SharePoint Lists via handy shortcut methods, but you can currently also call sp.get(url, *args, **kwargs) and sp.post(url, *args, **kwargs) with manually assembled SharePoint REST URLs and it will work.

Installation

SharePoint Too can be installed from the Python Package Index, PyPI.

pip install sharepoint-too

Initiate a SharePoint session

from sharepoint_too import SharePointSession
sp = SharePointSession("example.sharepoint.com")

Make an API call

r = sp.get_lists()

This will return a Requests response object. See the requests documentation for details. By default, the headers accept: application/json;odata=verbose andcontent-type: application/json;odata=verbose are sent with all requests, so API responses will be formatted as JSON where available.

Headers can be added or overridden by supplying a dictionary to the relevant method:

r = sp.get_lists(headers={"Accept": "application/atom+xml"})

Currently both the get() and post() methods will send a x-requestdigest header, allowing modifications to be made to SharePoint objects.

Other available methods

sp.get_list_metadata(weblist_url, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.get_list_entity_type(weblist_url, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.get_list_items(weblist_url, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.get_list_item(weblist_url, item_id, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.add_list_item(weblist_url, payload, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.update_list_item(weblist_url, item_id, data, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.upload(weblist_url, item_id, filename, list_guid=None, list_title=None)
sp.delete_list_item(weblist_url, item_id, list_guid=None, list_title=None)

NOTE: Only list_guid or list_title need to be supplied, not both.

Tests

Since the tests require a SharePoint account you’ll need to supply private values in order to run the tests:

Create a file called ^/sharepoint_too/config.cfg:

[default]
domain=
user=
pwd=
site_url=https://example.sharepoint.com
weblist_url=https://example.sharepoint.com/_api/web/lists
list_title=
list_guid=
list_item_type=

Now you can run:

python -m pytest tests/test_sharepoint_too.py
