A data class representing additional information about server-generated social media posts in SharePoint/Office 365, specifically designed for server-to-server communication.

Purpose

SocialPostDefinitionData is a specialized ClientValue subclass that encapsulates metadata and configuration for server-generated social posts in Office 365/SharePoint environments. It serves as a data transfer object (DTO) for server-to-server API calls, providing a structured way to pass post definition information between services. This class is part of the Office 365 REST API client library and is used when programmatically creating or managing social posts through server-side operations.

Source Code

class SocialPostDefinitionData(ClientValue):
    """The SocialPostDefinitionData type provides additional information about server-generated posts.
    This type can only be specified in a server-to-server call."""

Parameters

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from ClientValue, which is the base class for client-side value objects in the Office 365 Python SDK. This provides serialization/deserialization capabilities for REST API communication.

Return Value

Instantiation returns a SocialPostDefinitionData object that can be used to represent server-generated post metadata. The object inherits serialization methods from ClientValue that return dictionary representations suitable for JSON serialization in API requests.

Class Interface

Dependencies

• office365-runtime

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue

Usage Example

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.sharepoint.social.post_definition_data import SocialPostDefinitionData

# Instantiate the class
post_data = SocialPostDefinitionData()

# This class is typically used as part of a larger Office 365 API call
# Example: Creating a server-generated social post
# Note: Actual usage requires proper Office 365 context and authentication
# post_data would be passed to a SharePoint social feed API method

# The class inherits from ClientValue, so it can be serialized
# serialized_data = post_data.to_json()

# Typically used in server-to-server scenarios:
# social_feed.create_post(post_data)

Best Practices

• This class should only be used in server-to-server API calls, not in client-side or user-facing applications
• Ensure proper Office 365 authentication is configured before using this class in API operations
• The class is a data container and should be instantiated with appropriate attributes set before being passed to API methods
• As it inherits from ClientValue, it automatically handles JSON serialization for REST API communication
• Do not attempt to use this class for client-generated posts; it is specifically designed for server-generated content
• Always validate that your application has the necessary permissions for server-to-server operations in Office 365
• This is a minimal class definition that may be extended with properties and methods in the actual implementation
