Skydrive - Office 365 Rest API

Question

Hi,

I have an application that logs in to Skydrive (free) using Rest API (via Live Connect). Actually, I'm able to upload files, search, delete, etc, using Rest API. However, I tried to use the same code to log in to an Office 365 account because I want to do the same with an Skydrive Pro account, but it doesn't work. Does Skydrive Pro (included in Office 365), use a different API? Authentication via Live Connect API is different to Office 365 authentication?

Thanks

Answer 1

The Live Connect APIs do not support SkyDrive Pro/Office 365.

Answer 2

Thanks Carl, do you know if Skydrive Pro supports rest API? If so, where can i find docs about that?

Answer 3

It is very confusing that Microsoft uses the same brand name when you don't have the same level of programmability you'd expect when you hear the SkyDrive/OneDrive name

I guess you have to check if there are SharePoint APIs for that kind of access (or for cases where you use your own SharePoint server enable WebDAV or something)

Update

there is SharePoint API that you can use: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepointdev/archive/2013/08/13/access-skydrive-pro-using-the-sharepoint-2013-apis.aspx
