Sharepoint

Connect Sharepoint to your preprocessing pipeline, and batch process all your documents using unstructured-ingest to store structured outputs locally on your filesystem.

First you’ll need to install the Sharepoint dependencies as shown here.

pip install "unstructured[sharepoint]"

Run Locally

#!/usr/bin/env bash

unstructured-ingest \
  sharepoint \
  --client-id "<Microsoft Sharepoint app client-id>" \
  --client-cred "<Microsoft Sharepoint app client-secret>" \
  --site "<e.g https://contoso.sharepoint.com or https://contoso.admin.sharepoint.com to process all sites within tenant>" \
  --permissions-application-id "<Microsoft Graph API application id, to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --permissions-client-cred "<Microsoft Graph API application credentials, to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --permissions-tenant "<e.g https://contoso.onmicrosoft.com (tenant URL) to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --files-only "Flag to process only files within the site(s)" \
  --output-dir sharepoint-ingest-output \
  --num-processes 2 \
  --path "Shared Documents" \
  --verbose

Run via the API

You can also use upstream connectors with the unstructured API. For this you’ll need to use the --partition-by-api flag and pass in your API key with --api-key.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

unstructured-ingest \
  sharepoint \
  --client-id "<Microsoft Sharepoint app client-id>" \
  --client-cred "<Microsoft Sharepoint app client-secret>" \
  --site "<e.g https://contoso.sharepoint.com or https://contoso.admin.sharepoint.com to process all sites within tenant>" \
  --permissions-application-id "<Microsoft Graph API application id, to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --permissions-client-cred "<Microsoft Graph API application credentials, to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --permissions-tenant "<e.g https://contoso.onmicrosoft.com (tenant URL) to process per-file access permissions>" \
  --files-only "Flag to process only files within the site(s)" \
  --output-dir sharepoint-ingest-output \
  --num-processes 2 \
  --path "Shared Documents" \
  --verbose \
  --partition-by-api \
  --api-key "<UNSTRUCTURED-API-KEY>"

Additionally, you will need to pass the --partition-endpoint if you’re running the API locally. You can find more information about the unstructured API here.

For a full list of the options the CLI accepts check unstructured-ingest sharepoint --help.

NOTE: Keep in mind that you will need to have all the appropriate extras and dependencies for the file types of the documents contained in your data storage platform if you’re running this locally. You can find more information about this in the installation guide.
