Hi @Banerjee, Somali,

Per my research, you could Granting access using SharePoint App-Only to connect with sharepoint. You can access sharepoint by accesstoken and call HTTP requests by following code

headers = {
    'Authorization': "Bearer " + json_data['access_token'],
    'Accept':'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

url = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite/_api/web/lists('list-guid')/subscriptions"
l = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)

Here is a nice article to call http request for you to reference
