Initial support for [Microsoft Teams API

The support for Microsoft Teams API has been introduced, the following example demonstrates how how create a new team under a group which corresponds to Create team endpoint

tenant_name = "contoso.onmicrosoft.com"
client = GraphClient(tenant_name, get_token)
new_team = client.groups[group_id].add_team()
client.execute_query()

where

def get_token(auth_ctx):
    """Acquire token via client credential flow (ADAL Python library is utilized)
    :type auth_ctx: adal.AuthenticationContext
    """
    token = auth_ctx.acquire_token_with_client_credentials(
        "https://graph.microsoft.com",
        client_id,
        client_secret)
    return token

Improved support for working with paged data

Here is an example which demonstrates how to retrieve data from a SharePoint list which contains more then 5k items:

def print_progress(items_read):
    print("Items read: {0}".format(items_read))


ctx = ClientContext.connect_with_credentials(site_url,
                                             ClientCredential(client_id,client_secret))

list_source = ctx.web.lists.get_by_title("Contacts_Large")
items = list_source.items
items.page_loaded += print_progress  # page load event
items.page_size = 400  # specify custom page size (default is 100)
ctx.load(items)
ctx.execute_query()

#print("Items count: {0}".format(len(items)))
for item in items:
    print("{0}".format(item.properties['Title']))

Support for certificate authentication for SharePoint API

The example demonstrates how to connect to SharePoint Online with certificate credentials:

ctx = ClientContext.connect_with_certificate(site_url,
                                             client_id,
                                             thumbprint,
                                             certificate_path)

current_web = ctx.web
ctx.load(current_web)
ctx.execute_query()
print("{0}".format(current_web.url))
