SharePoint Online Connector for PowerShell

SharePoint Connector can be used to read, write data in SharePoint Online List / Document Library, perform file operations such as upload, download, create, move, delete, rename in a few clicks!

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate SharePoint Online data in PowerShell without coding. We will use high-performance SharePoint Online Connector to easily connect to SharePoint Online and then access the data inside PowerShell.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

SharePoint Online Connector for PowerShell is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from SharePoint Online using PowerShell we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from SharePoint Online. We will later be able to read data using PowerShell. Perform these steps:

Download and install ODBC PowerPack.
Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

ZappySys API Driver
- Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
- Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.
When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "SharePoint Online" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "SharePoint Online" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

SharepointOnlineDSN

SharePoint Online

Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

User Credentials [OAuth]

Use delegated access (User Credentials) whenever you want to let a signed-in user work with their own resources or resources they can access. Whether it's an admin setting up policies for their entire organization or a user deleting an email in their inbox, all scenarios involving user actions should use delegated access. [API reference]

Steps how to get and use SharePoint Online credentials

Follow these simple steps below to create Microsoft Entra ID application with delegated access:

WARNING: If you are planning to automate processes, we recommend that you use a Application Credentials authentication method. In case, you still need to use User Credentials, then make sure you use a system/generic account (e.g. automation@my-company.com). When you use a personal account which is tied to a specific employee profile and that employee leaves the company, the token may become invalid and any automated processes using that token will start to fail.

Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
Access Microsoft Entra ID.
Register a new application by going to App registrations and clicking on New registration button:

INFO: Find more information on how to register an application in Graph API reference.
When configuration window opens, configure these fields:
- Supported account type
  - Use Accounts in this organizational directory only, if you need access to data in your organization only.
- Redirect URI:
  - Set the type to Public client/native (mobile & desktop).
  - Use https://zappysys.com/oauth as the URL.
After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:
Copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs to use later in the configuration:
Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use the copied values in User Credentials authentication configuration:
- In the Authorization URL field paste the OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Token URL field paste the OAuth token endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Client ID field paste the Application (client) ID value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Scope field use the default value or select individual scopes, e.g.:
  - email
  - offline_access
  - openid
  - profile
  - User.Read
  - Sites.Read.All
  - Sites.ReadWrite.All
  - Files.Read.All
  - Files.ReadWrite.All
Press Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
Optional step. Choose Default Site Id from the drop down menu.
Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
Done! Now you are ready to use the API Connector!

Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

Extra Headers (e.g. Header1:AAA\|\|Header2:BBB)
IsAppCred	0

Application Credentials [OAuth]

Application-only access is broader and more powerful than delegated access (User Credentials), so you should only use app-only access where needed. Use it when: 1. The application needs to run in an automated way, without user input (for example, a daily script that checks emails from certain contacts and sends automated responses). 2. The application needs to access resources belonging to multiple different users (for example, a backup or data loss prevention app might need to retrieve messages from many different chat channels, each with different participants). 3. You find yourself tempted to store credentials locally and allow the app to sign in 'as' the user or admin. [API reference]

Steps how to get and use SharePoint Online credentials

Follow these simple steps to create Microsoft Entra ID application with application access permissions:

Create an OAuth app
Grant application SharePoint Online permissions (optional, for granular permissions)

This step allows to grant OAuth application granular permissions, i.e. access configured specific Sites, Lists, and List Items.

Step-1: Create OAuth app

Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
Access Microsoft Entra ID.
Register a new application by going to App registrations and clicking on New registration button:
INFO: Find more information on how to register an application in Graph API reference.
When configuration window opens, configure these fields:
- Supported account type
  - e.g. select Accounts in this organizational directory only if you need access to data in your organization only.
- Redirect URI:
  - Set the type to Public client/native (mobile & desktop).
  - Leave the URL field empty.
After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:
Then copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs:
Continue and create Client secret:
Then copy the Client secret for later steps:
Continue by adding permissions for the app by going to the API permissions section, and clicking on Add a permission:
Select Microsoft Graph:
Then choose Application permissions option:
Continue by adding these Sites permissions (search for site):

INFO: If you want to access specific lists or list items (table-level vs row-level security) rather than the full site, then add Lists.SelectedOperations.Selected or ListItems.SelectedOperations.Selected permissions , just like in the previous step (search for list).

WARNING: If you add any of these permissions - Sites.Selected, Lists.SelectedOperations.Selected, or ListItems.SelectedOperations.Selected - you must grant the app the SharePoint permissions for the specific resource (e.g. a Site, a List, or a ListItem). Follow instructions in Grant SharePoint permissions to the OAuth app (optional) section on how to accomplish that.
Finish by clicking Add permissions button:
Now it's time to Grant admin consent for your application:
Confirm all the permissions are granted:
Now go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use the copied values in Application Credentials authentication configuration:
- In the Token URL field paste the OAuth token endpoint (v2) URL value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Client ID field paste the Application (client) ID value you copied in the previous step.
- In the Client Secret field paste the Client secret value you copied in the previous step.
- Optional step. Choose Default Site Id from the drop down menu.
Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
Done!

Step-2 (optional): Grant SharePoint permissions to the OAuth app (optional)

If you used Sites.Selected, Lists.SelectedOperations.Selected or ListItems.SelectedOperations.Selected permission in the previous section, you must grant the app the SharePoint permissions for the specific resource (e.g. a Site, a List, or a ListItem). You can do it using PowerShell or SharePoint admin center (obsolete method).

Granting SharePoint permissions using PowerShell

Unfortunately, there is no user interface available to control these permissions yet. For now, granting permissions has to be accomplished via Microsoft Graph API [Microsoft reference]:

You must be the owner of the resource to grant permissions (i.e. belong to SharePoint owners group or be the owner of the Site or List).

Open PowerShell (run as admin).

Call the following PowerShell code to grant read and write permission for the app we created earlier (assuming Application (client) ID is 89ea5c94-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-3fa95f62b66e):

##### CONFIGURATION ############################################################################################

# More info at:
# - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-selected-overview?tabs=powershell
# - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.sites/?view=graph-powershell-1.0

# Find SharePoint Site Id by following these steps:
# - Login into SharePoint Online
# - Open this URL https://{your-company}.sharepoint.com/_api/site in the browser
#   NOTE: For a subsite use https://{your-company}.sharepoint.com/sites/{your-subsite}/_api/site
# - Find 'Id' element in the response (e.g. <d:Id m:type="Edm.Guid">efcdd21a-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-5d8104d8b5e3</d:Id>)
# - Copy the Site Id, i.e.: efcdd21a-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-5d8104d8b5e3 
# Set $siteId variable to the retrieved Site Id:

$siteId="efcdd21a-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-5d8104d8b5e3"


# Find your Application Id (i.e. Client Id) in the Azure Portal, in App Registrations page:
# https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade

$applicationId="89ea5c94-aaaa-bbbb-cccc-3fa95f62b66e"


# Set one of app permissions: read, write, fullcontrol, owner ('write' includes 'read' permission)

$appPermission="write"



##### SCRIPT ###################################################################################################

# Step-1: Install 'Microsoft.Graph.Sites' module if it's not installed

# Step-4: Set parameters for API call (set permissions, Site ID and Application ID)

$params = @{
	roles = @($appPermission)
	grantedTo = @{
		application = @{id = $applicationId}
	}
}

# Step-5: Grant permissions
New-MgSitePermission -SiteId $siteId -BodyParameter $params

# Done!
Write-Host "Granted SharePoint permissions to application '$applicationId' for site '$siteId'."

That's it! Now you can use the API Connector!

Granting SharePoint permissions using SharePoint admin center (obsolete method)

If you used Site.Selected permission you can link it SharePoint site in SharePoint admin center [SharePoint reference]. Follow these simple steps to accomplish that:

Log in to SharePoint admin center using this URL: (replace YOURCOMPANY with your company name):
```
https://YOURCOMPANY-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx
```
INFO: To view all the registered apps in SharePoint, visit this page: https://YOURCOMPANY-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appprincipals.aspx?Scope=Web.
In the App Id field enter Application (client) ID you copied in the previous step.
In the Permission Request XML field enter XML snippet which describes which SharePoint permissions you want to grant to the OAuth app, e.g.:
```
<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" />
</AppPermissionRequests>
```
INFO: This example gives app FullControl, but you can also grant it Read or Write permissions.
Click Create to grant the permission to your OAuth app.
That's it! Now you can use the API Connector!

Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

Application Credentials with Certificate (Sign JWT with Private Key) [OAuth]

Steps how to get and use SharePoint Online credentials
To use Certificate-Based Authentication Setup please follow the steps listed in [Application Credentials] authentication and once done come back here to finish next stsps.

This guide walks you through setting up a certificate-based authentication flow for Microsoft Graph or other Azure AD protected APIs using client credentials and a JWT.

Step 1: Generate a Self-Signed Certificate

You can use OpenSSL or any other way to generate Certificate file but make it simple below example uses PowerShell. Open PowerShell and execute code listed in below steps.


# Run this in PowerShell
#Change .AddYears(1) to desired number. By default it expires certificate in one year as per below code.

$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate `
  -Subject "CN=MyClientAppCert" `
  -KeySpec Signature `
  -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
  -KeyLength 2048 `
  -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\CurrentUser\My" `
  -KeyAlgorithm RSA `
  -HashAlgorithm SHA256 `
  -NotAfter (Get-Date).AddYears(1) `
  -Provider "Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider"

# Export private key (.pfx)  - Keep this with you to make API calls (SECRET KEY - DONOT SHARE)
$pfxPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\private_key.pfx"
$pwd = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "yourStrongPassword123" -Force -AsPlainText
Export-PfxCertificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $pfxPath -Password $pwd

# Export public certificate (.cer) - UPLOAD this to Azure Portal
$cerPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\public_key.cer"
Export-Certificate -Cert $cert -FilePath $cerPath

Step 2: Register or Configure an App in Azure AD

Go to https://portal.azure.com
Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations
Click + New registration or open an existing app
Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID

Step 3: Upload the Certificate

In your App Registration, go to Certificates & secrets
Under Certificates, click Upload certificate
Select the .cer file (public certificate)
Click Add

Step 4: Grant API Permissions

Go to the API permissions tab
Click Add a permission
Select Microsoft Graph (or another API)
Choose Application permissions
Add scopes such as:
- Sites.Read.All
- Sites.ReadWrite.All
- Files.Read.All
- Files.ReadWrite.All
- email
- offline_access
- openid
- profile
- User.Read
Click Grant admin consent (requires admin)

Step 5: Use PFX file

Once both files generated perform the following steps to use PFX file., , Use the Certificate file (*.pfx) Now its time to use pfx file generated in the previous step. PFX file contains private key and public key both.

On ZappySys Connection UI Go to Certificate Tab
Change Storage Mode to Local PFX File (or you can Import PFX file in Certificate Storage - User Store / Machine Store and use that way)
Supply the pfx file path or select certificate from Local Certificate Store if you imported that way in earlier step
Supply the certificate password (same password used in earlier PowerShell script)
Test connection see everything is good

Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

SharepointOnlineDSN

Extra Headers (e.g. Header1:AAA\|\|Header2:BBB)
IsAppCred	1

Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

ZappySys API Driver - SharePoint Online

SharePoint Connector can be used to read, write data in SharePoint Online List / Document Library, perform file operations such as upload, download, create, move, delete, rename in a few clicks!

SharepointOnlineDSN
Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in PowerShell to retrieve data from SharePoint Online. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.
```
SELECT * FROM Lists
```
Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the SharePoint Online API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.
Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in PowerShell:
ZappySys API Driver - SharePoint Online

SharePoint Connector can be used to read, write data in SharePoint Online List / Document Library, perform file operations such as upload, download, create, move, delete, rename in a few clicks!

SharepointOnlineDSN
```
SELECT * FROM Lists
```
You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.

A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the SharePoint Online API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in SharePoint Online servers).
Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read SharePoint Online data in PowerShell

Sometimes, you need to quickly access and work with your SharePoint Online data in PowerShell. Whether you need a quick data overview or the complete dataset, this article will guide you through the process. Here are some common scenarios:

Viewing data in a terminal

Quickly peek at SharePoint Online data
Monitor data constantly in your console

Saving data to a file

Export data to a CSV file so that it can be sliced and diced in Excel
Export data to a JSON file so that it can ingested by other processes
Export data to an HTML file for user-friendly view and easy sharing
Create a schedule to make it an automatic process

Saving data to a database

Store data internally for analysis or for further ETL processes
Create a schedule to make it an automatic process

Sending data to another API

Integrate data with other systems via external APIs

In this article, we will delve deeper into how to quickly view the data in PowerShell terminal and how to save it to a file. But let's stop talking and get started!

Reading individual fields

Open your favorite PowerShell IDE (we are using Visual Studio Code).

Then simply follow these instructions:

"DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN"

Read API data with PowerShell using ODBC DSN in Visual Code

For your convenience, here is the whole PowerShell script:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN"
$query = "SELECT * FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Since we know we will be reading just 4 columns, let's define format for those 4 columns, each separated by a tab
$format = "{0}`t{1}`t{2}`t{3}"

# Display data in the console
foreach ($row in $table.Rows)
{
    # Construct line based on the format and individual SharePoint Online fields
    $line = $format -f ($row["CustomerId"], $row["CompanyName"], $row["Country"], $row["Phone"])
    Write-Host $line
}

Access specific SharePoint Online table field using this code snippet:

$field = $row["ColumnName"]

You will find more info on how to manipulate DataTable.Rows property in Microsoft .NET reference.

For demonstration purposes we are using sample tables which may not be available in SharePoint Online.

To read values in a console, save the script to a file and then execute this command inside PowerShell terminal:
You can also use even a simpler command inside the terminal, e.g.:
```
. 'C:\Users\john\Documents\dsn.ps1'
```

Retrieving all fields

However, there might be case, when you want to retrieve all columns of a query. Here is how you do it:

"DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN"

Read all API columns from ODBC data source in PowerShell

Again, for your convenience, here is the whole PowerShell script:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN"
$query = "SELECT CustomerId, CompanyName, Country, Phone FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Display data in the console
foreach ($row in $table.Rows) {
    $line = ""
    foreach ($column in $table.Columns) {
        $value = $row[$column.ColumnName]

        # Let's handle NULL values
        if ($value -is [DBNull])
        {
            $value = "(NULL)"
        }
        $line += $value + "`t"
    }
    Write-Host $line
}

You can limit the numbers of lines to retrieve by using a LIMIT keyword in the query, e.g.:

SELECT * FROM Customers LIMIT 10

Using a full ODBC connection string

In the previous steps we used a very short format of ODBC connection string - a DSN. Yet sometimes you don't want a dependency on an ODBC data source (and an extra step). In those times, you can define a full connection string and skip creating an ODBC data source entirely. Let's see below how to accomplish that in the below steps:

Open ODBC data source configuration and click Copy settings:

ZappySys API Driver - Configuration [Version: 2.0.1.10418]

ZappySys API Driver - SharePoint Online

SharePoint Connector can be used to read, write data in SharePoint Online List / Document Library, perform file operations such as upload, download, create, move, delete, rename in a few clicks!

SharepointOnlineDSN
The window opens, telling us the connection string was successfully copied to the clipboard:
Then just paste the connection string into your script:
You are good to go! The script will execute the same way as using a DSN.

Have in mind that a full connection string has length limitations.

Proceed to the next step to find out the details.

Limitations of using a full connection string

Despite using a full ODBC connection string may be very convenient it comes with a limitation: it's length is limited to 1024 symbols (or sometimes more). It usually happens when API provider generates a very long Refresh Token when OAuth is at play. If you are using such a long ODBC connection string, you may get this error:

"Connection string exceeds maximum allowed length of 1024"

But there is a solution to this by storing the full connection string in a file. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

Open your ODBC data source.
Click Copy settings button to copy a full connection string (see the previous section on how to accomplish that).
Then create a new file, let's say, in C:\temp\odbc-connection-string.txt.
Continue by pasting the copied connection string into a newly created file and save it.
Finally, the last step! Just construct a shorter ODBC connection string using this format:
```
DRIVER={ZappySys API Driver};SettingsFile=C:\temp\odbc-connection-string.txt
```
Our troubles are over! Now you should be able to use this connection string in PowerShell with no problems.

This feature requires ODBC PowerPack v1.9.0 or later.

Write SharePoint Online data to a file in PowerShell

Save data to a CSV file

Export data to a CSV file so that it can be sliced and diced in Excel:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN"
$query = "SELECT * FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "`t" | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.csv" -Force

Save data to a JSON file

Export data to a JSON file so that it can ingested by other processes (use the above script, but change this part):

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.json" -Force

Save data to an HTML file

Export data to an HTML file for user-friendly view and easy sharing (use the above script, but change this part):

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.html" -Force

Check useful PowerShell cmdlets other than ConvertTo-Csv, ConvertTo-Json, and ConvertTo-Html for other data manipulation scenarios.
