Getting started with the OneDrive SDK for Python
Installation
Once you've downloaded the OneDrive SDK for Python, open a command prompt and type the following to install it:
pip install onedrivesdkNext, include the SDK in your Python project by adding:
import onedrivesdkAuthentication
To interact with the OneDrive API, your app must authenticate. You can use the following code sample to do so.
import onedrivesdk from onedrivesdk.helpers import GetAuthCodeServer redirect_uri = "http://localhost:8080/" client_secret = "your_app_secret" client = onedrivesdk.get_default_client(client_id='your_client_id', scopes=['wl.signin', 'wl.offline_access', 'onedrive.readwrite']) auth_url = client.auth_provider.get_auth_url(redirect_uri) #this will block until we have the code code = GetAuthCodeServer.get_auth_code(auth_url, redirect_uri) client.auth_provider.authenticate(code, redirect_uri, client_secret)
Once your app is authenticated, you should have access to the OneDrive API, and can begin making calls using the SDK.
Examples
Note: All examples assume that your app has already been Authenticated.
Upload an Item
returned_item = client.item(drive="me", id="root").children["newfile.txt"].upload("./path_to_file.txt")
Download an Item
root_folder = client.item(drive="me", id="root").children.get() id_of_file = root_folder[0].id client.item(drive="me", id=id_of_file).download("./path_to_download_to.txt")
Add a folder
f = onedrivesdk.Folder() i = onedrivesdk.Item() i.name = "New Folder" i.folder = f returned_item = client.item(drive="me", id="root").children.add(i)
Copy an Item
from onedrivesdk.item_reference import ItemReference ref = ItemReference() ref.id = "yourparent!id" #path also supported copy_operation = client.item(drive="me", id="youritemtocopy!id").copy(name="new copied name", parent_reference=ref).post() #copy_operation.item will return None until the copy has completed. #If you would like to block until the operation has been completed #and copy_operation.item is no longer None copy_operation.poll_until_complete()
Rename an Item
renamed_item = onedrivesdk.Item() renamed_item.name = "NewItemName" renamed_item.id = "youritemtorename!id" new_item = client.item(drive="me", id=renamed_item.id).update(renamed_item)
Paging through a collection
#get the top three elements of root, leaving the next page for more elements collection = client.item(drive="me", id="root").children.request(top=3).get() #get the first item in the collection item = collection[0] #get the next page of three elements, if none exist, returns None collection2 = collection.next_page_request.get()
Async operations
For async operations, you create an asyncio.coroutine which implements asyncio.ascompleted, and execute it with loop.run\_until\_complete.
import asyncio @asyncio.coroutine def run_gets(client): coroutines = [client.drive("me").request().get_async() for i in range(3)] for future in asyncio.as_completed(coroutines): drive = yield from future print(drive.id) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(run_gets(client))
