AutoIt Requires Chilkat v11.5.0+

SharePoint List Document Libraries

See more SharePoint Examples

This example shows how to use Chilkat's HttpCurl class to list the document libraries in a SharePoint site. In Microsoft Graph, SharePoint document libraries are represented as drives. The example demonstrates how HttpCurl can automatically resolve a SharePoint site name to its Microsoft Graph site ID, then use that ID to retrieve and display the site's document libraries.

;  Associate the OAuth2 configuration with HttpCurl.
;  
;  When the request is executed, Chilkat automatically obtains an access token
;  if needed and adds the Authorization: Bearer header to the HTTP request.

;  
;  These variables are referenced in the curl command using
;  {{variable_name}} substitution syntax.

;  The document libraries endpoint requires a Microsoft Graph site ID.
;  
;  Because the application only knows the SharePoint site name,
;  HttpCurl must first retrieve the corresponding site ID.
;  
;  Define a function that can resolve the site_id variable when needed.
;  HttpCurl may execute this function automatically if it determines that
;  site_id is required by another request.
$oCurl.AddFunction("getSite","GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/root:/sites/{{site_name}}")

;  Extract the "id" field from the getSite response and store it
;  in the HttpCurl variable named "site_id".
;  
;  Any later request that references {{site_id}} can use this value.

;  The target Microsoft Graph request:
;  
;  curl -X GET \"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{site_id}}/drives
;  
;  This request returns the document libraries belonging to the site.
;  
;  Microsoft Graph refers to document libraries as "drives",
;  so each object in the response represents one document library.
;  
;  No Authorization header is included because HttpCurl automatically
;  adds it when OAuth2 authentication is configured.
Local $sCurlCommand = "curl -X GET ""https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{{site_id}}/drives"""

;  Execute the request.
;  
;  HttpCurl examines the target curl command and determines that
;  the variable {{site_id}} is required.
;  
;  Because site_id is not yet known, HttpCurl searches for a function
;  capable of producing it.  The getSite function provides the "id"
;  output, which is mapped to the site_id variable.
;  
;  The execution plan becomes:
;  
;    1) Execute getSite to obtain site_id.
;    2) Substitute {{site_id}} into the target request.
;    3) Execute the drives request.
;  
;  The final HTTP response returned by DoYourThing is always the
;  response from the target curl command, which is the last step in the plan.
