Sharepoint teamsite REST API

Question

I'm trying to upload a file to the company's teamsite using the SharePlum python library but am getting a permission error:

HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://********.sharepoint.com/teams/teamsite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx

My gut instict is telling me that this is because I am trying to connect to a teamsite rather than a site as ALL examples show.

This person has the same problem:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65098933/python-upload-local-file-to-sharepoint-team-site
If it's not to do with it being a team site, then I must not have sufficient permission?

But I am able to get the auth cookies with the following:

authcookie = Office365(url, username=user, password=password).GetCookies()

But am unable to connect to the site with:

site_ = Site(site, version=Version.v365, authcookie=authcookie)

I have tried using different versions.

Hi @David CPM ,
You can refer to following code to upload file.

 from shareplum import Office365  
 from shareplum import Site  
 from shareplum.site import Version  
      
 authcookie = Office365('https://TenantName.sharepoint.com', username='******@TenantName.onmicrosoft.com', password='******').GetCookies()  
 site = Site('https://TenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/', version=Version.v365, authcookie=authcookie);  
 folder = site.Folder('Shared Documents')  
 with open("D:\myfile.txt", mode='rb') as file:  
         fileContent = file.read()  
 folder.upload_file(fileContent, "myfile.txt")  

You could also use Office365-Rest-Python-Client library to access to Sharepoint documents. https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client

Here are some examples about file operations: https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client/tree/master/examples/sharepoint/files

For SharePoint Online, please check if the user account which enabled MFA, then it's not supported, try to close MFA, you can check the detailed Conditional Access Policy as official document:
