RestAPI with Client Secret

[Dennisklad1]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to download some data from my Organization's Sharepoint with a simple RestAPI Get request where we have a user id and a secret.

I am unsure how to use the download tool in Alteryx. By trying to use id as username and secret as password I get a 401 Unauthorized error.

What am I doing wrong. This topic is really confusing and I can't find much on the internet. What are the steps I should take.

Hi @Dennisklad1 --

I have been also learning how to directly access our on-prem SharePoint site. Here is a link to the Microsoft documentation which have been invaluable to me. APIs are not my thing so it's taken me a few tries, but, I now can download files from SharePoint.

Thanks,

Seth

Well thanks, but I am having trouble with the Authentification.

I dont think this documentation helps me in that case.
