I saw your videos about a year ago and it was really helpful, and see me back one year later again and they're still really helpful! thanks a lot!

The process to download a file via Microsoft Graph is too complicated. Thank you for the great tutorial.

line 33, in generate_access_token
print('user_code: ' + flow['user_code'])
KeyError: 'user_code'

What should i do ?

[maneeratwongjaroenporn]

Thanks a lot! This is very helful. Could you please make the tutorial for downloading the files from a public shared link (OneDrive link) from someone else? I think it's slightly different.

Would you have any suggestions on a similiar but different requirement I'm working on
I have everything working and retriving the file content (only ever going to need to use a .docx file), but rather than writing this to a local file, I need to process it somehow to work with the text within the document so I can write assertions like

graph api is returning the content, but i don't know what to do with the gibberish its outputting(binary stream?)

Does this method not need client secret?

I need to know how do you get de APP_ID variable, I saw it is not the same APP_ID one that the previous video.

I am throwing an error, KeyError: 'device_code' when I run the code . I have looked at all my code and I can't come up the solution. Any ideas?

[brunobarrientos]

thanks so much, very clear explanation. If the file were located in a public shared link OneDrive, how much change the steps??

[im_vj_]

Can Anyone say where to get the file id in the newer version?

[youtubersona]

I have a problem because, my file is more small than 4mb and when I make a download using the API, the file is corrupted and can't more use he

[nblacud]

This worked very well. However, I need to download various files that were shared to me. Can't seem to be able to do that, I gave permission to the app with the Files.Read.All scopes, but it is not working.

[hamzashamaseen]

is Microsoft Graph API free and lifetime???
is there any cost?

[Amr-Ibrahim-AI]

Thank you Jie for the informative video.
How did you save the token in a json file??

[gouthamkarakavalasa]

Import libraries are not working, giving no module named ms_graph

[JoshTan-bhoi]

Thanks for the video! Is there any difference between downloading files from onedrive vs sharepoint using the graph api?

[etgcrog]

[Fedeleallalinea]
