Hi anonymous user
Per your description, The issue is about Authentication. You can check if the code return 401 or 403. For 401 Unauthorized error, Please make sure that your application is presenting a valid access token to Microsoft Graph as part of the request. For 403 Forbidden error, Please make sure that you have enough permission to the graph api you call.
Please check the steps in the following document

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT
As of yet, the problem has not been resolved: My api does not authenticate to my company's share point, however, my colleagues' accounts work perfectly. Do I need to make any changes? and I have used my colleague's account and authenticated, the error 404 persists.

Hello @RaytheonXie_MSFT

Below are the python codes i am using to authenticate, As i am not from IT background just a beginner level, please let me know if any other information required.

def start_up(self):  
    try:  
        self.builtin.log_to_console("\n")  
        self.builtin.log_to_console("kw: Start Up - BEGIN")  
        # self.close_applications()  
        self.ms_graph_authentication_credentials = self.vault.get_secret(ms_graph_authentication_credentials_name)  
        self.windows_account_credentials = self.vault.get_secret(account_credentials_name)  
        self.builtin.log_to_console("kw: Start Up - Ms graph auth")  
        self.excel_actions.authenticate(self.ms_graph_authentication_credentials["tenant"],   
                                        self.ms_graph_authentication_credentials["client_id"],  
                                        self.ms_graph_authentication_credentials["client_secret"],  
                                        self.windows_account_credentials["windows_user_email"],  
                                        self.windows_account_credentials["windows_user_password"])

Hi anonymous user ,
As our forum focus on C# code, python is out of our support scope. I am unable to provide you with the advice in python code. You can get some more professional idea in a python forum. If the issue is about Authentication, please follow the guidance in the below document to register the credentials
