Solution 1
For those of you that ended up like me here at this issue, I found that one has to path the full URL to File
, not just the path:
#import all the libraries
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File
import io
import pandas as pd
#target url taken from sharepoint and credentials
url = 'https://company.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Folder%20Number1/Folder%20Number2/Folder3/Folder%20Number4/Target_Excel_File_v4.xlsx?cid=_Random_letters_and_numbers-21dbf74c'
username = '[email protected]'
password = 'Password!'
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password):
ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth)
web = ctx.web
ctx.load(web)
ctx.execute_query()
print("Authentication successful")
response = File.open_binary(ctx, url)
#save data to BytesIO stream
bytes_file_obj = io.BytesIO()
bytes_file_obj.write(response.content)
bytes_file_obj.seek(0) #set file object to start
#read excel file and each sheet into pandas dataframe
df = pd.read_excel(bytes_file_obj, sheetname = None)

Maybe worth to note that the official repository holds many examples on common operations for sharepoint, drive and teams.
One note for installation:
pip install Office365-REST-Python-Client
There is also a office365 package but the above one seems to be the correct oneenter link description here

The question is very similar to the link below. How to read SharePoint Online (Office365) Excel files in Python with Work or School Account?
Essentially I would like to import an excel file off SharePoint into pandas for further analysis.
The issue is when I run the code below I get the following error.
XLRDError: Unsupported format, or corrupt file: Expected BOF record; found b'\r\n<!DOCT'
My code:
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext from office365.sharepoint.file import File url = 'https://companyname.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Home.aspx' username = '[email protected]' password = 'password!' relative_url = '/Shared%20Documents/Folder%20Number1/Folder%20Number2/Folder3/Folder%20Number%Four/Target_Excel_File_v4.xlsx?d=w8f97c2341898_random_numbers_and_letters_a065c12cbcsf=1&e=KXoU4s' ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url) if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password): ctx = ClientContext(url, ctx_auth) web = ctx.web ctx.load(web) ctx.execute_query() #this gives me a KeyError: 'Title' #print("Web title: {0}".format(web.properties['Title'])) print('Authentication Successful') else: print(ctx_auth.get_last_error()) import io import pandas as pd response = File.open_binary(ctx, relative_url) #save data to BytesIO stream bytes_file_obj = io.BytesIO() bytes_file_obj.write(response.content) bytes_file_obj.seek(0) #set file object to start #read file into pandas dataframe df = pd.read_excel(bytes_file_obj) print(df)

zwornik over 4 yearsAre you using Anaconda? I am trying to install office365 library in Anaconda (anaconda.org/jholdom/py-o365) and it fails.
