Get Summary Sheet Via API in to Power BI

I know the Power BI connector cant get data from a summary sheet report but can the API get this data?

If yes does anyone have an example I can use?

Many thanks

Martin

    Hi Martin,

    You can grab the report data using Python or your code of choice. Here's the script to get it as an Excel (the report ID is a dummy example ID:

    smartsheet_client.Reports.get_report_as_excel(
      3882962191181700,       # report_id
      download_folder_path
    )
    

    You can read more at https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/tag/reports#operation/getReport

    Let me know if this helps, and please flag this post if I answered your question! Good luck!

  • Hi thanks for that it put me on the right path, but i now have another problem when running curl to the summary sheet in that its asking for level=2 or higher.

    I assume that this is the "accessApiLevel" value but i cant find info on it in the API help. This was my attempt at guessing (which doesn't work). Any ideas are welcome.

    curl https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/reports/389************ \ -H "Authorization: Bearer 9Cg9fYP*********************" \ -H "accessApiLevel=2" \

  • this is the full error message if that helps

    "errorCode" : 5623,

     "message" : "The report you are attempting to open is a sheet summary report, which requires a query parameter of 'level=2' (or higher if available) to be specified in the API request.",

     "refId" : "d3xadt"
