SharePoint Online Connector for Python 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 Python. We will use high-performance SharePoint Online Connector to easily connect to SharePoint Online and then access the data inside Python. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation SharePoint Online Connector for Python 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 Python 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 Python. Perform these steps:

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

   

3. 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.

4. 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

   

5. 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.

   1. Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
   2. Access Microsoft Entra ID.

   3. 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.

   4. 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.
      

   5. After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:

      

   6. Copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs to use later in the configuration:

      

   7. 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
   8. Press Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
   9. Optional step. Choose Default Site Id from the drop down menu.
   10. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
   11. Done! Now you are ready to use the API Connector!

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

    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

   1. Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
   2. Access Microsoft Entra ID.
   3. 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.

   4. 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.
      

   5. After registering the app, copy the Application (client) ID for later:

      

   6. Then copy OAuth authorization endpoint (v2) & OAuth token endpoint (v2) URLs:

      

   7. Continue and create Client secret:

      

   8. Then copy the Client secret for later steps:

      

   9. Continue by adding permissions for the app by going to the API permissions section, and clicking on Add a permission:

      

   10. Select Microsoft Graph:

       

   11. Then choose Application permissions option:

       

   12. 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.

   13. Finish by clicking Add permissions button:

       

   14. Now it's time to Grant admin consent for your application:

       

   15. Confirm all the permissions are granted:

       

   16. 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.
   17. Click Test Connection to confirm the connection is working.
   18. 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).

   1. Open PowerShell (run as admin).

   2. 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):

   3. 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:

   1. 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.
   2. In the App Id field enter Application (client) ID you copied in the previous step.

   3. 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.
   4. Click Create to grant the permission to your OAuth app.
   5. That's it! Now you can use the API Connector!

    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

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

   Step 3: Upload the Certificate

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

   Step 4: Grant API Permissions

   1. Go to the API permissions tab
   2. Click Add a permission
   3. Select Microsoft Graph (or another API)
   4. Choose Application permissions
   5. Add scopes such as:
      • Sites.Read.All
      • Sites.ReadWrite.All
      • Files.Read.All
      • Files.ReadWrite.All
      • email
      • offline_access
      • openid
      • profile
      • User.Read
   6. 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.

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

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

6. 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

   

7. 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 Python 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.

8. 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 Python:

   

   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).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read data in Python

Using ODBC DSN

1. Python code to get the data:
   

   SharepointOnlineDSN')

   

2. When you run the code it will make the API call and read the data:
   

3. Here is Python program's code in text format:

   
       import pyodbc
       conn = pyodbc.connect('DSN=SharepointOnlineDSN')
   
       cursor = conn.cursor()
   
       #execute query to fetch data from API service
       cursor.execute("SELECT id,title FROM products")
   
       row = cursor.fetchone()
       while row:
           print(row)
           row = cursor.fetchone()
   
       ##For loop example
       #for row in cursor:
       #    print(row)
   

Using a full ODBC connection string

If you want to avoid being dependent on a DSN and creating multiple DSNs for each platform (x86, x64), then you can use a fully qualified connection string. Simply go to your DSN and copy the Connection String:

1. Open ODBC data source configuration and click Copy settings:
   

   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

   
2. The window opens, telling us the connection string was successfully copied to the clipboard:

3. Then in your Python code use Connection String when initializing OdbcConnection object, for example:

   conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={ZappySys API Driver};ServiceUrl=https://yourservices.provider.com/api/xxxx....;AuthName=Http;')

Create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver

You can create procedures to encapsulate custom logic and then only pass handful parameters rather than long SQL to execute your API call.

Steps to create Custom Stored Procedure in ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here

1. Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Procedure:
   

2. Enter the desired Procedure name and click on OK:
   

3. Select the created Stored Procedure and write the your desired stored procedure and Save it and it will create the custom stored procedure in the ZappySys Driver:
   Here is an example stored procedure for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders anywhere inside Procedure Body. Read more about placeholders here
   

   CREATE PROCEDURE [usp_get_orders]
       @fromdate = '<<yyyy-MM-dd,FUN_TODAY>>'
    AS
       SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderDate >= '<@fromdate>';
   

   
   

4. That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your Stored Procedure using Exec Command. In this example it will extract the orders from the date 1996-01-01:
   

   Exec usp_get_orders '1996-01-01';

   
   

5. Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
   As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
   

   SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_SHAREPOINT_ONLINE_IN_GATEWAY], 'EXEC usp_get_orders @fromdate=''1996-07-30''')

   
   

6. Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.
   

Create Custom Virtual Table in ZappySys Driver

ZappySys API Drivers support flexible Query language so you can override Default Properties you configured on Data Source such as URL, Body. This way you don't have to create multiple Data Sources if you like to read data from multiple EndPoints. However not every application support supplying custom SQL to driver so you can only select Table from list returned from driver.

If you're dealing with Microsoft Access and need to import data from an SQL query, it's important to note that Access doesn't allow direct import of SQL queries. Instead, you can create custom objects (Virtual Tables) to handle the import process.

Many applications like MS Access, Informatica Designer wont give you option to specify custom SQL when you import Objects. In such case Virtual Table is very useful. You can create many Virtual Tables on the same Data Source (e.g. If you have 50 URLs with slight variations you can create virtual tables with just URL as Parameter setting.

1. Go to Custom Objects Tab and Click on Add button and Select Add Table:
   

2. Enter the desired Table name and click on OK:
   

3. And it will open the New Query Window Click on Cancel to close that window and go to Custom Objects Tab.

4. Select the created table, Select Text Type AS SQL and write the your desired SQL Query and Save it and it will create the custom table in the ZappySys Driver:
   Here is an example SQL query for ZappySys Driver. You can insert Placeholders also. Read more about placeholders here
   

   SELECT
     "ShipCountry",
     "OrderID",
     "CustomerID",
     "EmployeeID",
     "OrderDate",
     "RequiredDate",
     "ShippedDate",
     "ShipVia",
     "Freight",
     "ShipName",
     "ShipAddress",
     "ShipCity",
     "ShipRegion",
     "ShipPostalCode"
   FROM "Orders"
   Where "ShipCountry"='USA'

   
   

5. That's it now go to Preview Tab and Execute your custom virtual table query. In this example it will extract the orders for the USA Shipping Country only:
   

   SELECT * FROM "vt__usa_orders_only"

   
   

6. Let's generate the SQL Server Query Code to make the API call using stored procedure. Go to Code Generator Tab, select language as SQL Server and click on Generate button the generate the code.
   As we already created the linked server for this Data Source, in that you just need to copy the Select Query and need to use the linked server name which we have apply on the place of [MY_API_SERVICE] placeholder.
   

   SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_SHAREPOINT_ONLINE_IN_GATEWAY], 'EXEC [usp_get_orders] ''1996-01-01''')

   
   

7. Now go to SQL served and execute that query and it will make the API call using stored procedure and provide you the response.
