using sharepoint via soap in python
sharepoint is a powerful platform for document management, collaboration, and content sharing within an organization. while sharepoint offers various ways to interact with its data, including rest apis and client libraries for different programming languages, you can also interact with sharepoint using soap (simple object access protocol) web services. in this tutorial, we'll focus on how to use python to interact with sharepoint via soap.
prerequisites:
sharepoint environment: you'll need access to a sharepoint environment. this tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of sharepoint concepts.
python: you should have python installed on your system. if not, download and install it from python's official website.
python modules: install the necessary python modules using pip:
sharepoint web services url: obtain the url for the sharepoint soap web services you want to access. this url typically looks like: http://your sharepoint site/_vti_bin/lists.asmx.
step 1: import required modules
we use the requests library for making http requests, zeep for soap requests, and requests_ntlm for ntlm authentication.
step 2: define sharepoint web services url and credentials
replace your sharepoint site, your username, your password, and your domain with your sharepoint site's information.
step 3: create a session with ntlm authentication
this step establishes an authenticated session using ntlm authentication.
step 4: create a soap client
the zeep library allows you to create a soap client by providing the sharepoint web services url.
step 5: access sharepoint data
you can use the soap client to call various sharepoint web services methods. for example, let's retrieve a list of all lists on your sharepoint site:
this line of code calls the getlistcollection method of the lists web service.
step 6: process and print the results
this code iterates through the returned list information and prints the name and description of each l ...
