Download and extract Microsoft Sharepoint file

DEMSF - Download and extract Microsoft Sharepoint file

I've created bash utility scripts designed for SREs, DevOps, and Developers to download files from a Microsoft Sharepoint repository.
These scripts are primarily intended for automation in CI pipelines or local setups (developer environment).
As the Sharepoint link I share is public and doesn't require authentication, the utility provides seamless access.
The current implementation utilizes Wget for downloading and Unzip for extraction, but if you prefer an alternative extractor, please don't hesitate to let me know by raising an issue.

How to use

• Create your workspace

mkdir $HOME/workspace/
cd $HOME/workspace/

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/phlbrz/demsf.git
cd demsf

• Script lib/download-sharepoint-file.sh: Download a Microsoft Sharepoint File

This script will download the file from Microsoft Sharepoint.
It has only 3 parameters, OUTPUT_FOLDER, OUTPUT_FILENAME and URL, see the example below:

OUTPUT_FOLDER="/home/user/workspace/demsf_output/"
OUPUT_FILENAME="file-name.extension-you-want"
URL="https://some-shared-repo.sharepoint.com/:u:/s/SharedRepo/XXXxXXxXxXxXxxXxXxxxxxxXXx1xxxx2X3X4XxxxXXxXXX?e=XXxxX1"

chmod +x ./examples/call-download.sh

./examples/call-download.sh "$OUTPUT_FOLDER" "$OUTPUT_FILENAME" "$URL"

• Script lib/unzip.sh: Unzip a file downloaded from Microsoft Sharepoint

This scripts uses the script download-sharepoint-file.sh under the hood.
It accepts the same 3 parameters, OUTPUT_FOLDER, OUTPUT_FILENAME and URL. Take a look at the example below:

OUTPUT_FOLDER="/home/user/workspace/demsf_output/"
OUPUT_FILENAME="file-name.zip"
URL="https://some-shared-repo.sharepoint.com/:u:/s/SharedRepo/XXXxXXxXxXxXxxXxXxxxxxxXXx1xxxx2X3X4XxxxXXxXXX?e=XXxxX1"

chmod +x ./examples/extract-zip.sh

./examples/extract-zip.sh "$OUTPUT_FOLDER" "$OUTPUT_FILENAME" "$URL"
