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.
