Python upload files and folder to sharepoint - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to upload some files (multiple files and folder) to sharepoint and when I run the script i dont have any errors but i'm unable so see my files in sharepoint.
import requests
from shareplum import Office365
# get data from configuration
username = 'last.surname#tenant.com'
password = 'mypassword'
site_name = 'BI_odair'
base_path = 'https://tenant.sharepoint.com'
doc_library = 'data'
file_name = "links.txt"
# Obtain auth cookie
authcookie = Office365(base_path, username=username,
password=password).GetCookies()
session = requests.Session()
session.cookies = authcookie
session.headers.update({'user-agent': 'python_bite/v1'})
session.headers.update({'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose'})
# perform the actual upload
with open(file_name, 'rb') as file_input:
try:
response = session.post(
url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name +
"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Shared%20Documents/" +
doc_library+"')/Files/add(url='"
+ file_name + "',overwrite=true)",
data=file_input)
except Exception as err:
print("Some error occurred: " + str(err))
URL for my sharepoint: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/BI_odair/Documents%20partages/Forms/AllItems.aspx?viewid=4e7fdfb9%2De84a%2D42cd%2Db537%2D0d2837ca92cc
Theres already a folder named Data, but i wanted to upload my files in the root folder "/Documents%20partages"
I've already added this to my code: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59083429/6754555
Thanks in advance.

Here's the solution that worked perfectly on my end:
pip install SharePlum and then use the code below
import requests
from shareplum import Office365
# Set Login Info
username = '<username>'
password = '<password>'
site_name = '<site_name>'
base_path = 'https://<domain_name>.sharepoint.com'
doc_library = 'Shared%20Documents'
nested_folder = 'Shared%20Documents/<folder1>/<folder2>' #if you want to upload in nested folders else nested_folder = doc_library
file_name = "my_file.zip" #when your file in the same directory
# Obtain auth cookie
authcookie = Office365(base_path, username=username, password=password).GetCookies()
session = requests.Session()
session.cookies = authcookie
session.headers.update({'user-agent': 'python_bite/v1'})
session.headers.update({'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose'})
session.headers.update({'X-RequestDigest': 'FormDigestValue'})
response = session.post(url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name + "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('" + doc_library + "')/Files/add(url='a.txt',overwrite=true)",
data="")
session.headers.update({'X-RequestDigest': response.headers['X-RequestDigest']})
# perform the actual upload
with open(file_name, 'rb') as file_input:
try:
response = session.post(
url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name + f"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('" + nested_folder + "')/Files/add(url='"
+ file_name + "',overwrite=true)",
data=file_input)
print("response: ", response.status_code) #it returns 200
if response.status_code == '200':
print("File uploaded successfully")
except Exception as err:
print("Something went wrong: " + str(err))
print('File Uploaded Successfully')

Answer 2

"Shared Documents" is the default document library. If you want to upload file to a custom library, please modify the path as below:
response = session.post(
url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name +
"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl("Documents%20partages")/Files/add(url='"
+ file_name + "',overwrite=true)",
data=file_input)
Also you can have a look at below blog:Uploading files to SharePoint
//////// Updated
I created a document library and tested the demo in above blog, it works well.
Below is my code:
import requests
from shareplum import Office365
from config import config
# get data from configuration
username = config['sp_user']
password = config['sp_password']
site_name = config['sp_site_name']
base_path = config['sp_base_path']
doc_library = config['sp_doc_library']
file_name = "test.csv"
# Obtain auth cookie
authcookie = Office365(base_path, username=username, password=password).GetCookies()
session = requests.Session()
session.cookies = authcookie
session.headers.update({'user-agent': 'python_bite/v1'})
session.headers.update({'accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose'})
# dirty workaround.... I'm getting the X-RequestDigest from the first failed call
session.headers.update({'X-RequestDigest': 'FormDigestValue'})
response = session.post( url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name + "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('" + doc_library + "')/Files/add(url='a.txt',overwrite=true)",
data="")
session.headers.update({'X-RequestDigest': response.headers['X-RequestDigest']})
# perform the actual upload
with open( r'C:\Users\xxx\Documents\test.csv', 'rb+') as file_input:
try:
response = session.post(
url=base_path + "/sites/" + site_name + "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('" + doc_library + "')/Files/add(url='"
+ file_name + "',overwrite=true)",
data=file_input)
except Exception as err:
print("Some error occurred: " + str(err))
print('end...')
