Importing an Excel file from Teams Sharepoint into Python with error: Excel file format cannot be determined, you must specify an engine manually

I am trying to read an excel file from SharePoint to python and I get the following error:
ValueError: Excel file format cannot be determined, you must specify an engine manually
My Code:
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File
url_sp = 'https://company.sharepoint.com/teams/TeamE'
username_sp = 'MyUsername'
password_sp = 'MyPassword'
folder_url_sp = '/Shared%20Documents/02%20Team%20IAP/06_Da-An/Data/E/Edate.xlsx?web=1'
#Authentication
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url_sp)
if ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username_sp, password_sp):
ctx = ClientContext(url_sp, ctx_auth)
web = ctx.web
ctx.load(web)
ctx.execute_query()
print('Authentication sucessfull')
else:
print(ctx_auth.get_last_error())
import io
response = File.open_binary(ctx,folder_url_sp)
bytes_file_obj = io.BytesIO()
bytes_file_obj.write(response.content)
bytes_file_obj.seek(0)
data = pd.read_excel(bytes_file_obj,sheet_name = None)
Can it be related to the fact that the Excel file consists of several worksheets?
Can you help me further?
Thanks in advance

Several Sheets should not be a problem. Have you tried specifying an engine in your code like the error message says ?
data = pd.read_excel(bytes_file_obj, sheet_name=None, engine= ... )
Possible options can be found in the documentation of pandas here (scroll down to engine: str, default None). The explanation
If io is not a buffer or path, this must be set to identify io
seem to fit your fit your problem

Upload File to Windows Sharepoint using Python 3?

I have a test.txt on my Desktop and now I want to upload it to a Sharepoint Directory via Python3. How can I do that?

I'll start by saying this example is adapted from the example for Office365-REST-Python-Client. It works with sharepoint online using the rest api.
https://github.com/vgrem/Office365-REST-Python-Client/blob/master/examples/sharepoint/files/upload_file.py
Example url you might want to upload to [baseurl][site][folder][file]. https://your_company.sharepoint.com/path/to/site/Shared Documents/file.txt
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
baseurl = 'https://your_company.sharepoint.com'
basesite = '/path/to/site' # every share point has a home.
siteurl = baseurl + basesite
localpath = ./file.txt
remotepath = Shared Documents/file.txt # existing folder path under sharepoint site.
ctx_auth = AuthenticationContext(url)
ctx_auth.acquire_token_for_user(username, password)
ctx = ClientContext(siteurl, ctx_auth) # make sure you auth to the siteurl.
with open(localpath, 'rb') as content_file:
file_content = content_file.read()
dir, name = os.path.split(remotepath)
file = ctx.web.get_folder_by_server_relative_url(dir).upload_file(name, file_content).execute_query()```

Collecting activities(Like comments) in a Sharepoint list

I am trying to collect activity histories in a Sharepoint list such as comments and dates created, etc. but I wasn't able to find the way to achieve it.
Would there be a way to collect those data?
Below is the code that I am using.
import json
import os
import urllib.parse
ROOT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
config_path = '\\'.join([ROOT_DIR, 'config.json'])
#read jason config file
with open(config_path) as config_file:
config = json.load(config_file)
config = config['share_point']
USERNAME = config[ 'user']
PASSWORD = config[ 'password' ]
sharepoint_url = config['url']
sharepoint_site = config['site']
sharepoint_list = config[ 'list']
from office365.runtime.auth.user_credential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
ctx = ClientContext(sharepoint_site).with_credentials(UserCredential(USERNAME, PASSWORD))
web = ctx.web.lists.get_by_title('Test')
items = web.items.paged(True).top(200)
ctx.load(items)
ctx.execute_query()
contents = items.properties
print(contents)
The attached image shows the items that I would like to collect.

Sharepoint API list directory not working

I am trying to use the sharepoint api to download files within folders at the location "folder_in_sp" below. I've seem similar questions asked on here before but none are working for me. I am using the following code.
from office365.runtime.auth.client_credential import ClientCredential
from office365.runtime.client_request_exception import ClientRequestException
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file import File
import io
import datetime
import pandas as pd
import keyring
from office365.runtime.auth.user_credential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.files.file_system_object_type import FileSystemObjectType
username = 'MY USERNAME'
site_url = "https://ORG_NAME.sharepoint.com/"
folder_in_sp = "/a very long/folder path/with lots of spaces/and numbers/Leading to/A Final/folder"
ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(UserCredential(username, keyring.get_password("Sharepoint API", username))) # Use keyring to access your password for user credentials
web = ctx.web
ctx.load(web)
ctx.execute_query()
print("You're in! Web title: {0}".format(web.properties['Title']))
def folder_details(ctx, folder_in_sharepoint):
folder = ctx.web.get_folder_by_server_relative_url(folder_in_sharepoint)
fold_names = []
sub_folders = folder.files
ctx.load(sub_folders)
ctx.execute_query()
for s_folder in sub_folders:
fold_names.append(s_folder.properties["Name"])
return fold_names
file_list = folder_details(ctx, folder_in_sp)
I am trying to access the folders within the final folder at that location. Sometimes there will be multiple folders I need to access to download a single file within each of them. I have tried replacing spaces the folder_in_sp path with "%20" as they are formatted online but that has not worked either.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Python SharePoint API office365-rest-api fails when trying to update sharepoint columns

I am uploading a file to SharePoint successfully using the office365-rest-api, but when I come to set the metadata in the SharePoint columns I'm getting an error. This only happens when I have a file with a very long filename (around 180 characters). Files with short filenames work fine.
My code is
from office365.runtime.auth.user_credential import UserCredential
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext
from office365.sharepoint.files.file_system_object_type import FileSystemObjectType
from office365.sharepoint.files.file_creation_information import FileCreationInformation
targetFolderUrl = ctx.web.ensure_folder_path(SP_Location).execute_query()
targetFile = targetFolderUrl.upload_file(fileName, fileContent)
ctx.execute_query()
listItem=targetFile.listItemAllFields
listItem.set_property('COMMITTEE','SM_Team')
listItem.update()
ctx.execute_query(
The error I'm getting is :-
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://verylongurl+filename/listItemAllFields
Is there a limit on the number of characters the url +filename is? If so, how come it uploads the file ok, but only fails when I set the columns?
