Help | need assistance for sharepoint (file upload)

[mstankovic]

Hi,

Im very new to python and python's libraries.. I found this API useful for uploading a file to sharepoint but im not able to do that..

readme.md file in not for absolute beginners so please help me with this.

I have installed library using pip install Office365-REST-Python-Client but i dont know what next to do?

I tried to checkout this repo and go to examples/sharepoint and try to execute file_upload_session.py but without success.

Please help me to upload file to the my sharepoint online. Thanks

Greetings!

in the latest version (2.1.6 or above) which which hides all the intricacies related with Upload large files implementation, the example for uploading a file as 1MB chunks could be represented like this:

ctx = ClientContext(site_url, ctx_auth)

size_1Mb = 1000000
local_path = "./data/big_buck_bunny.mp4"
target_url = "/Shared Documents"
result_file = ctx.web.get_folder_by_server_relative_url(target_url).files.create_upload_session(local_path, size_1Mb, print_upload_progress)
ctx.execute_query()
print('File {0} has been uploaded successfully'.format(result_file.properties['ServerRelativeUrl']))

where

def print_upload_progress(offset):
    print("Uploaded '{0}' bytes...".format(offset))

Example: file_upload_session.py

Regarding latest version

Since we are experiencing some troubles with releasing a new version to PyPi, i would recommend to install the latest version from GitHub at the moment:

pip install git+https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client.git

And sorry for the delay with response,
Vadim
