python
import requests
def sync_onedrive_accounts(account1_token, account2_token):
# Define the endpoint for the OneDrive API
endpoint = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0"
# Create session objects for each account
session1 = requests.Session()
session1.headers.update({'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + account1_token})
session2 = requests.Session()
session2.headers.update({'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + account2_token})
try:
# Fetch the list of files from the first account
response1 = session1.get(endpoint + "/me/drive/root/children")
response1.raise_for_status()
# Fetch the list of files from the second account
response2 = session2.get(endpoint + "/me/drive/root/children")
response2.raise_for_status()
# Perform syncing operations between the two accounts
# ... (implement your desired syncing logic here)
# ... (e.g., comparing file lists, downloading, uploading, etc.)
# Print success message
print("Syncing between accounts completed successfully.")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print("Error occurred during syncing:", str(e))
# Usage example
account1_token = "
account2_token = "
sync_onedrive_accounts(account1_token, account2_token)
Please note that the above code is a simplified example and assumes you have obtained valid access tokens (`account1_token` and `account2_token`) for the respective OneDrive accounts. Additionally, you would need to implement your desired syncing logic within the `try` block to perform specific actions based on your requirements.
