I am trying to download an excel file from Sharepoint with the office365 module. Here's my code.
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.file import File
app_settings = {
'url': 'https://xxxxx/sites/DownloadFiles',
'client_id': 'xxxxxx',
'client_secret': 'xxxxxx',
}
if name == 'main':
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url=app_settings['url'])
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_app(client_id=app_settings['client_id'],
client_secret=app_settings['client_secret'])
ctx = ClientContext(app_settings['url'], ctx_auth)
path = "F:\myexcel.xlsx"
response = File.open_binary(ctx, "/Shared%20Documents/myexcel.xlsx")
response.raise_for_status()
with open(path, "wb") as local_file:
local_file.write(response.content)
When I run that code, I get the following error:
400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://xxx/DownloadFiles/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/Shared%20Documents/myexcel.xlsx')/%5C$value
I am able to reproduce the same issue on my SPO.
Please modify the code as below to fix it:
response = File.open_binary(ctx, "/sites/{abc}/Shared%20Documents/source.txt")
Such as i want to download file from a site collection like "https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/abc", the serverrelativeurl is "/sites/abc"
You can get the serverrelativeurl via '_spPageContextInfo' object:
And there is another SharePoint library 'shareplum' that provided some easy ways to operate files, you may have a try.
