How to Download a PDF File from Online SharePoint using python?
I've tried this code: but whenever I try this it downloads a broken file
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File
url = "SharePointFilePath"
username= "Username"
password= "Password"
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
response = File.open_binary(ctx, "SharepointURL")
with open("file.pdf","wb") as local_file:
local_file.read(response.content)
CodePudding user response：
You need to write, not to read:
with open("file.pdf","wb") as local_file:
local_file.write(response.content)
CodePudding user response：
Use another flag 'wb' instead of 'rb' and write method instead of read
with open('file.pdf', 'wb') as f:
f.write(response.content)
