Please check below snippet for guidance: import { AzureFunction, Context, HttpRequest } from "@azure/functions"; import axios from "axios"; import * as XLSX from "xlsx"; // Configuration - Replace with your own values const tenantId = "YOUR_TENANT_ID"; const clientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"; const clientSecret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"; const siteId = "YOUR_SHAREPOINT_SITE_ID"; // e.g., "contoso.sharepoint.com,xxxx,yyyy" const driveId = "YOUR_DRIVE_ID"; // Document library ID const filePath = "PATH/TO/YOUR/EXCEL_FILE.xlsx"; // Relative path in the document library // HTTP Trigger Azure Function const httpTrigger: AzureFunction = async function (context: Context, req: HttpRequest): Promise { try { // Step 1: Get Access Token const tokenResponse = await axios.post( `https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}/oauth2/v2.0/token`, `grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=${clientId}&client_secret=${clientSecret}&scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default`, { headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }, } ); const accessToken = tokenResponse.data.access_token; // Step 2: Download Excel File from SharePoint const fileUrl = `https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/${siteId}/drives/${driveId}/root:/${filePath}:/content`; const fileResponse = await axios.get(fileUrl, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` }, responseType: "arraybuffer", // Get file as binary data }); // Step 3: Parse Excel File const buffer = fileResponse.data; const workbook = XLSX.read(buffer, { type: "buffer" }); const sheetName = workbook.SheetNames[0]; // Assuming first sheet const worksheet = workbook.Sheets[sheetName]; const jsonData = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet); // Step 4: Return or process the data context.res = { status: 200, body: JSON.stringify(jsonData), }; } catch (error) { context.log.error("Error occurred:", error); context.res = { status: 500, body: `Error: ${error.message}`, }; } }; export default httpTrigger;
