This is a folder URL. It is a shared link where people with existing access can use the link.

dir_url <- "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/DOP-CPR/Shared%20Documents/INSPIRE%20Program%20%F0%9F%8F%AB%F0%9F%9A%B8%F0%9F%8C%B3?csf=1&web=1&e=W5dbYz"

There are a bunch of different types of URLs that SharePoint uses so they don’t all work with this package yet. You can parse a URL into smaller parts:

sp_url_parse(dir_url)
#> $base_url
#> [1] "https://bmore.sharepoint.com"
#> 
#> $tenant
#> [1] "bmore"
#> 
#> $path
#> [1] "/:f:/r/sites/DOP-CPR/Shared Documents/INSPIRE Program 🏫🚸🌳"
#> 
#> $url_type
#> [1] "f"
#> 
#> $permissions
#> [1] "r"
#> 
#> $site_name
#> [1] "DOP-CPR"
#> 
#> $file_path
#> [1] "/INSPIRE Program 🏫🚸🌳"
#> 
#> $drive_name
#> [1] "Documents"
#> 
#> $item_id
#> NULL
#> 
#> $csf
#> [1] "1"
#> 
#> $web
#> [1] "1"
#> 
#> $e
#> [1] "W5dbYz"
#> 
#> $site_url
#> [1] "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/sites/DOP-CPR"

These parts can be used as the path, site_url, and other parameters can be used to get sites, drives, lists, and items from SharePoint:

get_sp_site(dir_url)
#> Loading Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
#> <Sharepoint site 'DOP-CPR'>
#>   directory id: bmore.sharepoint.com,67aec41a-38f7-471f-8409-a71c3bece3a0,f506465a-e433-42ae-a52b-cb7130b77d59

#>   Methods:
#>     copy_item, create_folder, create_share_link,
#>     delete, delete_item, do_operation, download_file,
#>     download_folder, get_item, get_item_properties,
#>     get_list_pager, list_activites, list_files,
#>     list_items, list_shared_files, list_shared_items,
#>     load_dataframe, load_rdata, load_rds, move_item,
#>     open_item, save_dataframe, save_rdata, save_rds,
#>     set_item_properties, sync_fields, update,
#>     upload_file, upload_folder

With a directory URL, you can get a list of files:

You can use the same URL to get a character vector of file names:

But you can’t use that URL to get a list:

get_sp_list(dir_url)
#> Error:
#> ! `url` must be a URL with ":l:" or "/Lists/" to be a valid
#>   SharePoint list URL.

SharePoint lists have two different styles of URLs (that I’ve seen) and they both work:

list_url <- "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/:l:/r/sites/MayorsOffice-DataGovernance/Lists/Data%20Governance%20Progress%20Tracker?e=0P1fFX"

get_sp_list(list_url)
#> Loading Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
#> Loading Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
#> <Sharepoint list 'Data Governance Progress Tracker'>
#>   directory id: 5c21d327-7016-4b69-ae0d-dc95059a876c 
#>   web link: https://bmore.sharepoint.com/sites/MayorsOffice-DataGovernance/Lists/Data%20Governance%20Progress%20Tracker 
#>   description:  
#> ---
#>   Methods:
#>     bulk_import, create_column, create_item, delete,
#>     delete_item, do_operation, get_column_info,
#>     get_item, get_list_pager, list_items, sync_fields,
#>     update, update_item

The second styles includes the query parameter env=WebViewList:

"https://bmore.sharepoint.com/sites/MayorsOffice-DataGovernance/Lists/Data%20Governance%20Progress%20Tracker/AllItems.aspx?env=WebViewList"
#> [1] "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/sites/MayorsOffice-DataGovernance/Lists/Data%20Governance%20Progress%20Tracker/AllItems.aspx?env=WebViewList"

Shared URLs for files work with get_sp_item() and get_sp_item_properties():

file_url <- "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/DOP-CPR/Shared%20Documents/INSPIRE%20Program%20%F0%9F%8F%AB%F0%9F%9A%B8%F0%9F%8C%B3/INSPIRE%20Plans%20In%20Progress%20%E2%9C%8F%EF%B8%8F/Govans%20ES/Govans%20Final%20Planning%20Document%20and%20related%20materials/Govans%20INSPIRE%20Plan%20-%20Final%20draft%20before%20layout.docx?d=w3408fbc67fa2462187409eb240eb4df2&csf=1&web=1&e=4dcgze"

#> Loading Microsoft Graph login for default tenant
#> Error in process_response(res, match.arg(http_status_handler), simplify): Not Found (HTTP 404). Failed to complete operation. Message:
#> The resource could not be found.

Or you can also use a document URL (as long as the default library is set to match the document library of the supplied URL):

document_url <- "https://bmore.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/DOP-CPR/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7B3408FBC6-7FA2-4621-8740-9EB240EB4DF2%7D&file=Govans%20INSPIRE%20Plan%20-%20Final%20draft%20before%20layout.docx&action=default&mobileredirect=true"
