Is there a way to differentiate between updates made by a user and updates made by a python script?
I am looking to track these differences in the last_edited_by column. Currently all edits made to the smartsheet, regardless of if they were made by a user or by the python script, all show up as being edited by the user.
Does anyone have any tips for this?

The easiest way to differentiate would be to have a different account with its own API key make the edits with Python. We have two accounts we make API calls with so it's easy to tell who/what made the edit.
If that's not an option for you, you could build something into your script to date stamp into a separate column and notate "edited by API." -
If you look at the activity log, there are grey gears next to rows that say "API - Other Client"

I see. That is essentially what I am looking for. Any idea if there is a way to get that into a column?

Why not have the api update that column for you?
