Try to get sharedlink sharepoint in python

Question

Hi All,

Actually i write a python script to get shared link from my file.

    url = "https://group.sharepoint.com/sites/team/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/team/Shared Documents/test_api/')/files('work.xlsx')"
    headers = {
        'Accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
        'APIKEY': 'efezfezJADtf2xkfezfe5wnb1I3CMK7Rnx',
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + get_token + '',
    }

    request = requests.request("GET", url=url, headers=headers)
    print(request.json()['d']['LinkingUrl'])

This part of code give me the "LinkingUrl" but user didn't have access to this file.

I would like to get shared link for someone who don't have existing access.

Thank you very much in advance !

Hi @BiYO

I will recommend you to use Office365-REST-Python-Client to share files with anonymous users. Please refer to following code

import json

from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.sharing.links.kind import SharingLinkKind
from office365.sharepoint.webs.web import Web
from tests import test_user_credentials, test_team_site_url

ctx = ClientContext(test_team_site_url).with_credentials(test_user_credentials)

sharing_messages = {
    0: "A value has not been initialized",
    1: "A direct link or canonical URL to an object",
    2: "An organization access link with view permissions to an object",
    3: "An organization access link with edit permissions to an object",
    4: "An anonymous access link with view permissions to an object",
    5: "An anonymous access link with edit permissions to an object",
    6: "A tokenized sharing link where properties can change without affecting link URL"
}

file_url = "/sites/team/Shared Documents/SharePoint User Guide.docx"
target_file = ctx.web.get_file_by_server_relative_url(file_url)

# Share a file link
result = target_file.share_link(SharingLinkKind.AnonymousView).execute_query()
print(json.dumps(result.value.to_json(), indent=4))
link_url = result.value.sharingLinkInfo.Url

# Verify a link
result = Web.get_sharing_link_kind(ctx, link_url).execute_query()
print(sharing_messages.get(result.value, "Unknown sharing link"))

# Unshare a file link
target_file.unshare_link(SharingLinkKind.AnonymousView).execute_query()

# Get a file sharing info
info = target_file.get_sharing_information().execute_query()
print("AnonymousViewLink:", info.properties.get('AnonymousViewLink'))
