Template description

Who is this template for?

This template is designed for teams who need to automate data retrieval from SharePoint lists using n8n. It is ideal for users who want to authenticate via OAuth and then use the token to access SharePoint API endpoints, pulling in list data directly into n8n.

How it works

The template first generates an OAuth token using the Microsoft OAuth API. This token is then used to authenticate requests to the SharePoint List API, allowing the workflow to fetch data from a specified SharePoint list. By following the n8n workflow, the user can configure the necessary credentials and endpoints to automate SharePoint data access securely.

Setup steps

Step 1: Replace {tenant_id}, {client_id}, and {client_secret} with your Azure AD details for OAuth authentication.

Step 2: Specify the SharePoint list API endpoint in the template (under "SharePoint List Fetch" node).

Step 3: Configure the SharePoint list URL and make adjustments for specific data fields if necessary.

Pulling data from services that n8n doesn’t have a pre-built integration for

You still can use the app in a workflow even if we don’t have a node for that or the existing operation for that. With the HTTP Request node, it is possible to call any API point and use the incoming data in your workflow Main use cases: Connect with apps and services that n8n doesn’t have integration with Web scraping How it works This workflow can be divided into three branches, each serving a distinct purpose: 1.Splitting into Items (HTTP Request - Get Mock Albums): The workflow initiates with a manual trigger (On clicking 'execute'). It performs an HTTP request to retrieve mock albums data from "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/albums." The obtained data is split into items using the Item Lists node, facilitating easier management. 2.Data Scraping (HTTP Request - Get Wikipedia Page and HTML Extract): Another branch of the workflow involves fetching a random Wikipedia page using an HTTP request to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random." The HTML Extract node extracts the article title from the fetched Wikipedia page. 3.Handling Pagination (The final branch deals with handling pagination for a GitHub API request): It sends an HTTP request to "https://api.github.com/users/that-one-tom/starred," with parameters like the page number and items per page dynamically set by the Set node. The workflow uses conditions (If - Are we finished?) to check if there are more pages to retrieve and increments the page number accordingly (Set - Increment Page). This process repeats until all pages are fetched, allowing for comprehensive data retrieval.
