Hello @Yukimaru123

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A platform. You can have a try as below - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/qnamaker/how-to/add-sharepoint-datasources#add-sharepoint-data-source-with-apis

1. Download the SharePoint files locally. The user calling the API needs to have access to SharePoint.
2. Upload them on the Azure blob storage. This will create a secure shared access by using SAS token.
3. Pass the blob URL generated with the SAS token to the QnA Maker API. To allow the Question Answers extraction from the files, you need to add the suffix file type as '&ext=pdf' or '&ext=doc' at the end of the URL before passing it to QnA Maker API.

I hope this helps.
