How to create an upload session?

[paulschmeida]

Based on the suggestion in #40, I've tried to create an upload session like this:

async def create_upload_session():   
 resp = await client.drives.by_drive_id('driveId').items.by_drive_item_id('root:/{item-path}:').create_upload_session().post()
asyncio.run(create_upload_session())

but I get this: TypeError: 'CreateUploadSessionRequestBuilder' object is not callable

so I've changed it to:

upload_session = await client.drives.by_drive_id(rds_drive_id).items.by_drive_item_id(f"root:{destination_full_path}:").create_upload_session.post()

but then I get TypeError: body cannot be null.

Can you provide an example on how to properly create an upload session?

Hello @paulschmeida thanks for using the SDK and for asking this.

To create an upload session, we use the CreateUploadSessionPostRequestBody
It takes DriveItemUploadableProperties

Examples:

from msgraph.generated.drives.item.items.item.create_upload_session.create_upload_session_post_request_body import CreateUploadSessionPostRequestBody
from msgraph.generated.models.drive_item_uploadable_properties import DriveItemUploadableProperties

destination_path = "my_docs/test_upload_file.txt"
file_path = "C:/Users/<path-to>/Project_workbook.xlsx"
async def upload_file():
    uploadable_properties = DriveItemUploadableProperties(
        additional_data={'@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior': 'replace'})
    upload_session_request_body = CreateUploadSessionPostRequestBody(
        item=uploadable_properties)
    print(f"Uploadable Properties: {uploadable_properties.additional_data}")
    # can be used for normal drive uploads
    try:

        upload_session = await user_client.drives.by_drive_id(
            "<your-drive-id>"
        ).items.by_drive_item_id('root:/Project/test_excel_upload.xlsx:'
                                 ).create_upload_session.post(
                                     upload_session_request_body)
        # print(f"Upload Session URL: {upload_session.upload_url}")
        print(dir(upload_session))
        # upload_session.put_file(file, destination_path)
        print(
            f"Upload Session EXPIRATION DATE TIME: {upload_session.expiration_date_time}"
        )
        print(
            f"Upload Session ADDITIONAL DATA: {upload_session.additional_data}"
        )

    except APIError as ex:
        print(f"Error creating upload session: {ex}")


asyncio.run(upload_file())

You can then use PUT request on the upload_session following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createuploadsession?view=graph-rest-1.0

Response:

Uploadable Properties: {'@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior': 'replace'}
Upload Session EXPIRATION DATE TIME: 2024-08-26 14:34:26.885000+00:00
Upload Session ADDITIONAL DATA: {'@odata.context': 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#microsoft.graph.uploadSession'}
