I have sharepoint wikis in aspx format url looks something like this https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/SitePages/name.aspx

User's image

I am trying to extract the text I wrote "This is a wiki page to test" but I am not able to do it using Python Office365-REST-Python-Client. Can someone help me with this?

I want to just extract my content but when I use the office365 library and read content in aspx file it doesn't show my text content it has some random asp:content and all.

I tried using the code given in gitlab:

file_url = 'SitePages/test01.aspx'

file = ctx.web.lists.get_by_title("Site Pages").root_folder.files.get_by_url("test01.aspx")

file_content = file.get_content().execute_query()

I got the content something like this, I don't have the text "This is a wiki page to test".

b'\xef\xbb\xbf<%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%> <%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WikiEditPage" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master"      MainContentID="PlaceHolderMain" %> <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages" %> <%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
<asp:content>.....</asp:content>

Also, I tried this peice of code:

file = ctx.web.get_file_by_server_relative_path("/SitePages/Home.aspx")

file_item = file.listItemAllFields.select(["CanvasContent1", "LayoutWebpartsContent"]).get().execute_query()

print(file_item.properties.get("CanvasContent1"))

I am able to get HTML content that I created from Site Page but not from Wiki Page the image is attached below. It is working for Site Page but content is not visible in Wiki Page. Why is it working like that?

Hi

If you want to get the content of one of your wiki pages, you should set to get the content under the URL of the wiki page instead of getting the wiki page content after clicking the wiki page on the homepage (if you want to get the wiki page content after clicking, I I think you need to monitor this click behavior)

I did not follow. Can you give a small example to tackle the problem I was under the impression that I got the content but my text is missing because aspx might be producing it on the server side, which is why I am not able to extract and see my information in the content. Please let me know if this is wrong and we can extract the information still by giving a small example or a scenario, that will be very helpful.

Hi

Sorry to trouble you, I have no way to use python to test, I use spfx extension according to me, what I said before is only applicable to spfx, spfx can get some of its content by getting the page element node . After I checked the information, I found that there is no corresponding Graph API to get the page content
