export MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID="your-tenant-id"

2. Download a file

from sharepointeasy import SharePointClient

client = SharePointClient()

client.download_file(
    hostname="contoso.sharepoint.com",
    site_path="sites/MySite",
    file_path="Documents/report.xlsx",
    destination="./report.xlsx",
)

3. Upload a file

client.upload_file(

    site_path="sites/MySite",
    file_path="Documents/new-report.xlsx",
    source="./local-report.xlsx",
)

CLI Usage

After installation, use the sharepointeasy command:

# List sites
sharepointeasy list-sites

# List files
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite list Documents/

# Download file
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite download Documents/report.xlsx

# Upload file
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite upload ./report.xlsx -d Documents/

# Download entire folder
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite download-folder Documents/Reports

# Create folder
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite mkdir Documents/NewFolder -p

# Delete file
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite delete Documents/old-file.xlsx

# Create share link
sharepointeasy -H contoso.sharepoint.com -S sites/MySite share Documents/report.xlsx --type view

Async Usage

For parallel operations, use the async client:

import asyncio
from sharepointeasy import AsyncSharePointClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncSharePointClient() as client:
        # Download multiple files in parallel
        site = await client.get_site("contoso.sharepoint.com", "sites/MySite")
        drive = await client.get_drive(site["id"])

        # Download entire folder (parallel)
        await client.download_batch(
            site["id"],
            drive["id"],
            "Documents/Reports",
            "./local-reports",
            max_concurrent=10,
        )

asyncio.run(main())

Azure AD App Setup

To use this library, you need to register an app in Azure AD:

Go to Azure Portal → Azure Active Directory → App registrations
Click "New registration"
Name your app and click "Register"
Go to "Certificates & secrets" → "New client secret"
Copy the secret value (this is your MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET)
Go to "API permissions" → "Add a permission" → "Microsoft Graph"
Add these Application permissions:
- Sites.Read.All - Read sites
- Sites.ReadWrite.All - Read and write sites (for upload, delete, etc.)
- Files.Read.All - Read files
- Files.ReadWrite.All - Read and write files
- Calendars.Read - Read calendars and events (for calendar features)
Click "Grant admin consent"

Your credentials:

MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID = "Application (client) ID" on the app overview page
MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID = "Directory (tenant) ID" on the app overview page
MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET = The secret value you copied

Examples

from sharepointeasy import SharePointClient

client = SharePointClient()
