Sharepoint api /sharelink folder

Question

Hi All,

I try to create an shared link for a folder but my data parametrs doesn't work and i don't know why ...

For information i need to share this folder in edit and in my organization. (my data variable it is a test)

I share you my part of code :

url = "https://group.sharepoint.com/sites/test/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/test/Shared Documents/test_api/myfolder')/ListItemAllFields/ShareLink"
headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
    'APIKEY': 'fFgfzefezfefefq5wnb1I3CMK7Rnx',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token + '',
}
data = {'request':
        {'createLink': 'true',
            'settings':
                {'allowAnonymousAccess': 'true', 'role': '8', 'applicationLink': 'false', 'limitUseToApplication': 'false'}}
        }

request = requests.request("POST", url=url, headers=headers, data=data)
print(request.json())

I know they are the Office-365-python library but i can't use them sadly.

Hi @BiYO

Have you register app only correctly? You need to grant access to app only by following steps

[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs

Then you need to post request to

https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/tenant_id/tokens/OAuth/2

With following data

client_id = 'xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx'
client_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
tenant =  'tenant' # e.g. https://tenant.sharepoint.com
tenant_id = 'xxxx-xxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxxx'  
client_id = client_id + '@' + tenant_id

data = {
    'grant_type':'client_credentials',
    'resource': "00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000/" + tenant + ".sharepoint.com@" + tenant_id, 
    'client_id': client_id,
    'client_secret': client_secret,
}

headers = {
    'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

url = "https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/tenant_id/tokens/OAuth/2"
r = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)
json_data = json.loads(r.text)
