Upload a File to a SharePoint Documents Library using HttpCurl
See more SharePoint Examples
This example shows how to use Chilkat's HttpCurl class to upload a local file to the root of a SharePoint Documents document library. The example uses Microsoft Graph to automatically resolve the SharePoint site name to a site ID, find the drive ID for the Documents library, and then upload helloChilkat.txt so it is stored in SharePoint as example.txt. A successful upload returns 201 Created when a new file is created, or 200 OK when an existing file is updated or replaced.

' This example uploads a local file to the root of a SharePoint
' Documents document library.
'
' The local file:
'
' qa_data/helloChilkat.txt
'
' is uploaded and stored in SharePoint as:
'
' example.txt
'
' The example demonstrates how HttpCurl automatically resolves:
'
' site_name -> site_id
' site_id -> document_library_id
'
' and then uploads the file to the target document library using
' the Microsoft Graph file upload API.

' Before running this example, create an Azure App Registration and grant it

'
' The application will authenticate using OAuth2 Client Credentials.

' Instead of hard-coding sensitive values such as the client ID,
