The list of changes
API support for Fluent interface
ctx = ClientContext(settings['url']).with_credentials(credentials)
target_web = ctx.web.load().execute_query() #method chaining
print(target_web.url)
Support for addressing Web and File resources by absolute Url
abs_file_url = "https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/team/Shared Documents/sample.docx".format(tenant=tenant)
user_credentials = UserCredential(username, password)
with open(local_path, 'wb') as local_file:
file = File.from_url(abs_file_url).with_credentials(user_credentials).download(local_file).execute_query()
print("'{0}' file has been downloaded".format(file.serverRelativeUrl))
Support for SharePoint Search API
According to Documentation
Search in SharePoint includes a Search REST service you can use to add search functionality to your client and mobile applications by
using any technology that supports REST web requests.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to construct a search for a documents (via Keyword Query Language syntax) and print file url (Path managed property)
from office365.runtime.auth.userCredential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.search.searchRequest import SearchRequest
from office365.sharepoint.search.searchService import SearchService
from settings import settings
ctx = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(site_url,
UserCredential(username, password))
search = SearchService(ctx)
request = SearchRequest("IsDocument:1")
result = search.post_query(request)
ctx.execute_query()
relevant_results = result.PrimaryQueryResult.RelevantResults
for i in relevant_results['Table']['Rows']:
cells = relevant_results['Table']['Rows'][i]['Cells']
print(cells[6]['Value'])
Support for SharePoint TenantAdministration namespace
The following example demonstrates how to create a site collection via Tenant.CreateSite method:
admin_site_url = "https://{0}-admin.sharepoint.com/".format(tenant)
credentials = UserCredential(username, password)
client = ClientContext(admin_site_url).with_credentials(credentials)
tenant = Tenant(client)
props = SiteCreationProperties(target_site_url, user_principal_name)
site_props = tenant.ensure_site(props)
client.execute_query()
Improved support for SharePoint fields namespace
Creating list item and setting multi lookup field value:
create_info = {
"Title": "New task"
}
multi_lookup_value = FieldMultiLookupValue()
multi_lookup_value.add(FieldLookupValue(lookup_id))
new_item = self.target_list.add_item(create_info)
new_item.set_property("Predecessors", multi_lookup_value)
client.load(items)
client.execute_query()
Updating list item with multi choice field value:
multi_choice_value = FieldMultiChoiceValue(["In Progress"])
item_to_update.set_property("TaskStatuses", multi_choice_value)
item_to_update.update()
client.execute_query()
