Office365 REST API client for Python
The list of supported Office 365 REST APIs:
- SharePoint REST API (supported versions: SharePoint 2013, SharePoint 2016, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business)
- Outlook REST API
Use pip:
pip install Office365-REST-Python-Client
There are two approaches available to perform REST queries:
- via
ClientRequest classwhere you need to construct REST queries by specifying endpoint url, headers if required and payload (aka low level approach)
The first example demonstrates how to read Web resource:
import json
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.runtime.client_request import ClientRequest
from office365.runtime.utilities.request_options import RequestOptions
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password):
request = ClientRequest(ctx_auth)
options = RequestOptions("{0}/_api/web/".format(url))
options.set_header('Accept', 'application/json')
options.set_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
data = request.execute_request_direct(options)
s = json.loads(data.content)
web_title = s['Title']
print "Web title: " + web_title
else:
print ctx_auth.get_last_error()
- via
ClientContext classwhere you target client object resources such as Web, ListItem and etc.
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password):
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
web = ctx.web
ctx.load(web)
ctx.execute_query()
print "Web title: {0}".format(web.properties['Title'])
else:
print ctx_auth.get_last_error()
Python 2.7 is fully supported.
