I am trying to find any way possible to get a SharePoint list in Python. I was able to connect to SharePoint and get the XML data using Rest API via this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvFbVPDQYyk... but not sure how to get the list data into python. The ultimate goal will be to get the SharePoint data and import into SSMS daily.
Here is what I have so far..
import requests
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth
url='URL would go here'
username='username would go here'
password='password would go here'
r=requests.get(url, auth=HttpNtlmAuth(username,password),verify=False)
I believe these would be the next steps. I really only need help getting the data from SharePoint in Excel/CSV format preferably and should be fine from there. But any recommendations would be helpful..
#PARSE XML VIA REST API
#PRINT INTO DATAFRAME AND CONVERT INTO CSV
#IMPORT INTO SQL SERVER
#EMAIL RESULTS
With the CData Python Connector for SharePoint, you can work with SharePoint data just like you would with any database, including direct access to data in ETL packages like petl.

SharePoint offers a rich set of APIs that can be consumed in various ways. This article outlines what options you have, how they work and what their advantages and disadvantages are.
from shareplum import Site
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth
server_url = "https://sharepoint.xxx.com/"
site_url = server_url + "sites/org/"
auth = HttpNtlmAuth('xxx\\user', 'pwd')
site = Site(site_url, auth=auth, verify_ssl=False)
sp_list = site.List('list name in my share point')
data = sp_list.GetListItems('All Items', rowlimit=200)
