This post is about how to crate a list item in SharePoint list in backend process. It can be API, background service, azure function, mobile or desktop app. So, it can be anything you want, but in .Net. And we will use SharePoint Rest API, that is wrapped by CSOM (Microsoft.SharePointOnline.CSOM).

The app that I am developing now connects to Azure services and DefaultCredential were used for that. In Azure the authentication between services works with managed identities and I am satisfied with them, but while the development I've got an error "Azure.RequestFailedException: Server failed to authenticate the request", so I really didn't know what to do.

Started to research.

SmartFormat is a is a lightweight text templating library to replace string.Format. Unlike common String.Format, with SmartFormat you can read templates from text files or another source.
