Insert into SharePoint List using Python

To get past SharePoint authentication, we need to get ClientID and access key,
Open this link to register new App
https://<site>/_layouts/15/AppRegNew.aspx

In order to access this registration page, you may need to have an access collection administrator and above.

Click on generate for both Client id and client secret

Next step is to grant permission to the newly created principal (App)
In order to access the page, go to the link
https://<site>/_layouts/15/AppInv.aspx

Make a note of the client id that was generated in step 1, Paste the client id and click on “Lookup”

<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="FullControl" />
</AppPermissionRequests>

Paste the above XML in Permission request xml

Click on “Trust it” , now this should give access to the sharepoint

create a new list library “Testing” with two columns “Title” and “Status” in sharepoint
install office365 client library 
pip install Office365-REST-Python-Client

Below code will insert values into Title and Status field in Testing list library

/

import json
from office365.runtime.auth.authentication_context import AuthenticationContext
from office365.runtime.client_request import ClientRequest
from office365.runtime.utilities.request_options import RequestOptions
from office365.sharepoint.client_context import ClientContext

app_settings = {
        'url': "https://<sharepoint link>/",
        'client_id': "489e83b7-d47b-4d08-abce-02be0fa849c2",
        'client_secret': "jNSKgOJCPwKMnt+GUIZqOPezaD5u7S0x/fUtjtX0Mys=",
    }
context_auth = AuthenticationContext(url=app_settings['url'])
context_auth.acquire_token_for_app(client_id=app_settings['client_id'], client_secret=app_settings['client_secret'])
ctx = ClientContext(app_settings['url'], context_auth)

list = ctx.web.lists.get_by_title("Testing")
list.add_item({'Title': "Testing", 'status': "Pending"})
ctx.execute_query()

[Power Automate] Translate incoming emails

This tutorial will help you to create a Power flow app that automatically translates the email content to any preferred language.


Click on the Automated flow

There will be many flow triggers available for power flow. choose “When a new email arrives” depends on your email setup

It may redirect the user to authenticate to access mailbox.

By default the mailbox folder will point to “Inbox”, it is flexible enough to change the folders.

We have additional options to create filter/rule for mails, example:
– if the subject has certain keywords
– If the mail received only from xxxx@xx.com
– etc.,
feel free to configure based on the need.

Click on “New step” and search for “translate” and then choose Microsoft Translator from the list of operations

First time when Microsoft translator is chosen, it will ask the user to provide the connection name, you don’t have to provide the key, yet it will translate the text. But the no of requests per day will be limited.

Based on the requirement, you can purchase the key from Microsoft cognitive servers, for now we are not going to use the key.

Connection name: <any name>
Subscription key : blank

NExt step is to choose the actions from Microsoft translator, They have three different actions available
1. Detect language – If the requirement is to just detect what the language of any content, this option is ideal
2. Translate text – If the content has to be translated to a different language, this would be the ideal option, In our example, we are going to use this option

The next step is to choose the target language to translate the actual content. In this example, it would be the mail content.
Microsoft Translator supports around 80 languages,

In this case, English has been selected as a target language, choose “Body” parameter in “text” field

Add a new step and choose “Mail” from the operations list. Now we are going to send an email notification with translated text

select “Send an email notification” and provide
1. email address, 2. Subject
In body, select “Translated Text” (this value is the output from the previous step “Microsoft translator”)

In below step, actual email body is also attached, so the user can cross-check the translation vs the original email.

Thanks

Open url using Selenium Chromedriver c#

This is a simple example to show how to navigate to url using selenium chromedriver

Install selenium webdriver using Nuget Package

PM> Install-Package Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver -Version 80.0.3987.10600

Below code performs a navigation to google.com

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.IE;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Threading;
using System.Configuration;


namespace OpenURL
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IWebDriver driver = null;
            try
            {

                //driver = new ChromeDriver(@"c:\temp\");//load chromedriver from desired folder.
                driver = new ChromeDriver(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);//load chromedriver from bin folder as nuget package deploys chrome driver .exe and other dlls into bin
                driver.Url = "https://www.google.com";//Set the url you would like to navigate
                driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
                driver.Navigate();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception" + e.ToString());
            }

            finally
            {
                Thread.Sleep(2000);
                driver.Quit();
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

Use bin or desired folder to load chrome driver 

 driver = new ChromeDriver(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);
//this helps loading chromedriver from bin folder
driver = new ChromeDriver(@"c:\temp\");
//this helps to load chromdriver.exe from temp folder.

Sort Array object python

This code will help to sort any custom list object in ascending or descending order

accuracy=[
        {
            "Alg": "DecisionTree",
            "val": 90
        },
        {
            "Alg": "GradientBoosting",
            "val": 60
        },
        {
            "Alg": "LinearRegression",
            "val": 95
        },
        {
            "Alg": "LogisticRegression",
            "val": 96
        }
    ]

ascending=sorted(accuracy, key = lambda i: float(i['val']))
print(ascending)
desc=sorted(accuracy, key = lambda i: float(i['val']),reverse=True)
print(desc)
Output

[{'Alg': 'GradientBoosting', 'val': 60}, {'Alg': 'DecisionTree', 'val': 90}, {'Alg': 'LinearRegression', 'val': 95}, {'Alg': 'LogisticRegression', 'val': 96}]
 [{'Alg': 'LogisticRegression', 'val': 96}, {'Alg': 'LinearRegression', 'val': 95}, {'Alg': 'DecisionTree', 'val': 90}, {'Alg': 'GradientBoosting', 'val': 60}]

Create simple application using Microsoft LUIS (1/2)

This article will help developers to create a simple AI application using Microsot LUIS. In the below example, we will be able to create one simple conversation with Microsoft LUIS. (Ex: who are you? ) and LUIS will understand command provided.

People may use various way to find out about one. So we are going to put all those sentences as intents  (Ex: Who are you? , what are you? , who. etc.,) 


go to https://www.luis.ai/


Click on Create new app

For an example i have given as “hello world”.


Once the app has been created, we need to create intents. There are lot of prebuilt intents available from microsoft that can be used. (Example  Music related, Fitness related, places, travel, etc.,)

the intent name is “Who”


this is where we start populating intent sentences for “Who“, i have given four sentences just for an article purpose.


once intents are populated, it is important to click on “Train”. this will be automatically added to the training data. If the train button shows red, then some new intents are not yet added to the model , so it is important the “Train” button shows green

 


once the data has been trained, you can perform  a small testing by providing various commands and monitor the top scoring intent. it should match the intent you have created.

 


Once the testing is done, proceed to publish tab and push it to production. It generates an URL which contains the key and the subscription id for the app.
This url will be used in the application
