Upload file to MS SharePoint using Python OneDrive SDK

Question

Is it possible to upload a file to the Shared Documents library of a Microsoft SharePoint site with the Python OneDrive SDK?

This documentation says it should be (in the first sentence), but I can't make it work.

I'm able to authenticate (with Azure AD) and upload to a OneDrive folder, but when trying to upload to a SharePoint folder, I keep getting this error:

"Exception of type 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.AudienceUriValidationFailedException' was thrown."

The code I'm using that returns an object with the error:

(...authentication...)
client = onedrivesdk.OneDriveClient('https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/{site}/_api/v2.0/', auth, http)
client.item(path='/drive/special/documents').children['test.xlsx'].upload('test.xlsx')

I can successfully upload to https://{tenant}-my.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/ (notice the "-my" after the {tenant}) with the following code:

client = onedrivesdk.OneDriveClient('https://{tenant}-my.sharepoint.com/_api/v2.0/', auth, http)
returned_item = client.item(drive='me', id='root').children['test.xlsx'].upload('test.xlsx')

How could I upload the same file to a SharePoint site?

(Answers to similar questions (1,2,3,4) on Stack Overflow are either too vague or suggest using a different API. My question is if it's possible using the OneDrive Python SDK, and if so, how to do it.)

Answer 1

I finally found a solution, with the help of (SO user) sytech.

The answer to my original question is that using the original Python OneDrive SDK, it's not possible to upload a file to the Shared Documents folder of a SharePoint Online site (at the moment of writing this): when the SDK queries the resource discovery service, it drops all services whose service_api_version is not v2.0. However, I get the SharePoint service with v1.0, so it's dropped, although it could be accessed using API v2.0 too.

However, by extending the ResourceDiscoveryRequest class (in the OneDrive SDK), we can create a workaround for this. I managed to upload a file this way:

import json
import re
import onedrivesdk
import requests
from onedrivesdk.helpers.resource_discovery import ResourceDiscoveryRequest, \
    ServiceInfo

# our domain (not the original)
redirect_uri = 'https://example.ourdomain.net/' 
# our client id (not the original)
client_id = "a1234567-1ab2-1234-a123-ab1234abc123"  
# our client secret (not the original)
client_secret = 'ABCaDEFGbHcd0e1I2fghJijkL3mn4M5NO67P8Qopq+r=' 
resource = 'https://api.office.com/discovery/'
auth_server_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize'
auth_token_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token'

# our sharepoint URL (not the original)
sharepoint_base_url = 'https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/'
# our site URL (not the original)
sharepoint_site_url = sharepoint_base_url + 'sites/{site}'

file_to_upload = 'C:/test.xlsx'
target_filename = 'test.xlsx'


class AnyVersionResourceDiscoveryRequest(ResourceDiscoveryRequest):

    def get_all_service_info(self, access_token, sharepoint_base_url):
        headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token}
        response = json.loads(requests.get(self._discovery_service_url,
                                           headers=headers).text)
        service_info_list = [ServiceInfo(x) for x in response['value']]
        # Get all services, not just the ones with service_api_version 'v2.0'
        # Filter only on service_resource_id
        sharepoint_services = \
            [si for si in service_info_list
             if si.service_resource_id == sharepoint_base_url]
        return sharepoint_services


http = onedrivesdk.HttpProvider()
auth = onedrivesdk.AuthProvider(http_provider=http, client_id=client_id,
                                auth_server_url=auth_server_url,
                                auth_token_url=auth_token_url)

should_authenticate_via_browser = False
try:
    # Look for a saved session. If not found, we'll have to
    # authenticate by opening the browser.
    auth.load_session()
    auth.refresh_token()
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    should_authenticate_via_browser = True
    pass

if should_authenticate_via_browser:
    auth_url = auth.get_auth_url(redirect_uri)
    code = ''
    while not re.match(r'[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+', code):
        # Ask for the code
        print('Paste this URL into your browser, approve the app\'s access.')
        print('Copy the resulting URL and paste it below.')
        print(auth_url)
        code = input('Paste code here: ')
        # Parse code from URL if necessary
        if re.match(r'.*?code=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+).*', code):
            code = re.sub(r'.*?code=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*).*', r'\1', code)

    auth.authenticate(code, redirect_uri, client_secret, resource=resource)
    service_info = AnyVersionResourceDiscoveryRequest().\
        get_all_service_info(auth.access_token, sharepoint_base_url)[0]
    auth.redeem_refresh_token(service_info.service_resource_id)
    auth.save_session()

client = onedrivesdk.OneDriveClient(sharepoint_site_url + '/_api/v2.0/',
                                    auth, http)
# Get the drive ID of the Documents folder.
documents_drive_id = [x['id']
                      for x
                      in client.drives.get()._prop_list
                      if x['name'] == 'Documents'][0]
items = client.item(drive=documents_drive_id, id='root')
# Upload file
uploaded_file_info = items.children[target_filename].upload(file_to_upload)

Authenticating for a different service gives you a different token.
