Purpose
SocialPostDefinitionDataItem serves as a data transfer object (DTO) for Office 365 social post operations. It inherits from ClientValue and is designed to encapsulate data items that will replace tokens in social post definitions during server-to-server communication. This class is part of the Office 365 REST API client library and provides a structured way to define dynamic content for social posts.
Source Code
class SocialPostDefinitionDataItem(ClientValue):
"""The SocialPostDefinitionDataItem class specifies an item to be inserted in a post by replacing a token in
the post definition. This type can only be specified in a server-to-server call."""
pass

Parameter Details
__init__: Inherits constructor from ClientValue base class. The specific parameters depend on the ClientValue implementation, but typically accepts keyword arguments that map to the properties of the social post data item as defined by the Office 365 API schema.
Return Value
Instantiation returns a SocialPostDefinitionDataItem object that inherits all functionality from ClientValue. This object can be serialized to JSON for transmission in Office 365 API requests and represents a single data item for token replacement in social post definitions.
Class Interface
Dependencies
office365
Required Imports
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.sharepoint.social.social_post_definition_data_item import SocialPostDefinitionDataItem
Usage Example
from office365.sharepoint.social.social_post_definition_data_item import SocialPostDefinitionDataItem
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
# Create a social post data item for token replacement
data_item = SocialPostDefinitionDataItem()
# The specific properties would be set based on ClientValue's implementation
# Typically used in conjunction with SocialPostDefinition
# Example conceptual usage:
# data_item.token = '{UserName}'
# data_item.value = 'John Doe'
# This object would then be passed to a social post creation method
# in a server-to-server Office 365 API call
Best Practices
- This class should only be used in server-to-server authentication scenarios, not in client-side applications
- Instantiate this class when you need to define dynamic content that will replace tokens in social post definitions
- The class inherits from ClientValue, so it supports serialization to JSON for API requests automatically
- Ensure proper Office 365 authentication is configured before using this class in API calls
- This is a pass-through class that relies entirely on ClientValue's implementation, so refer to ClientValue documentation for specific property setting methods
- Use this class as part of a larger social post creation workflow, not in isolation
