Hi Gabriel,

I just read your post, did you manage to get a solution to access labels? I tried at my end as well but could not succeed.

Thanks

See the code in my first reply in this thread. That code was working for me. Keep in mind that it can take up to 24 hours for labels to be propagated to a site. Check in library settings before testing your code just to be sure.

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for your response, my library is showing up the labels. But my requirement is how to get the label value that is applied to my site. For example if my site has been classified as highly confidential, then I need to generate a report which list down all the sites that are highly confidential.
The CSOM release shows a method (public method Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CompliancePolicy.SPPolicyStoreProxy.GetAvailableTagsForSiteLabel). I tried using this method but getting the count as 0.

    Hi Gabriel,
    
    Thanks for your post, I was able to find my answer. A SharePoint site object has a property classification which provided the desired result in my case.
