How to download or open a file in sharepoint

[Dawwee27]

Hi, can anyone please help me with how to download a file from SharePoint? I've been going through this code all day and haven't figured anything out. I can access a specific file and its URL. However, when I try to download it using the code below, it gives me a 401 error even though the token is correct (I've tried both access and refresh tokens).

token handling

token_backend = FileSystemTokenBackend(token_path='my_folder', token_filename='my_token.txt')

scopes

scopes = ['https://graph.microsoft.com/.default', 'offline_access']

setup connection

credentials = (CLIENT_ID, SECRET_ID)
account = Account(credentials=credentials, auth_flow_type='authorization', scopes=scopes,
token_backend=token_backend, tenant_id=TENANT_ID)
conn = Connection(credentials)

connect to cloud

if not account.is_authenticated: # will check if there is a token and has not expired
account.authenticate()
else:
token_backend.check_token()
account.con.refresh_token()

   # Get data from SharePoint site
   sp_site = account.sharepoint().get_site('root', '/sites/mysite)

   # Get SharePoint lists
   lists = sp_site.get_lists()
    
    # Print SharePoint lists
    for sharepoint_list in lists:
        print(f"Name: {sharepoint_list.name}")

And when I find the file, I wanted to download it like this:

access_token = token_backend.get_token()

    # Headers with access token
    headers = {
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}'
    }

    # Download file
    response = requests.get(file_url, headers=headers, verify=False)

And after that I get 401 ... Can anyone help me? Thank you guys

First, the scopes should have the sharepoint ones so the app can access the resources.

Given that the authentication process goes as expected, to access the sharepoint document libraries check the methods for that inside the Site object (list_document_libraries(), get_document_library(), etc.)
