HI,
Does anyone know of an R package for interacting with Smartsheet? Are there folks using R with Smartsheet?
I am considering a project using R and I might start building out a package.
Thanks

Hi Craig!
I'm not aware of any specific instances of R package and Smartsheet integrations.
If you haven't already explored our Developer Portal, that resource is located here: https://developers.smartsheet.com
Github is another available resource that might be useful: https://github.com/
Thanks for posting in the Community!

Hi Craig,
It would be wonderful news if you do. It's very unfortunate that there is no ease of connecting with Smartsheet using R.
Hi Corinne,
Are there plans to create such an integration?
I am looking forward to a package that can link smartsheet and R.
Cheers,
At least for reading data from Smartsheet into R I use the jdbc driver from cdata. It's not free though.
This is some sample code:
library(RJDBC)
drv <- JDBC("cdata.jdbc.smartsheet.SmartsheetDriver","C:/Program Files/CData/CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet 2016/lib/cdata.jdbc.smartsheet.jar")
conn <- dbConnect(drv, "jdbc:smartsheet:OAuthAccessToken=*** ;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;LogFile=C:\\SmartSheet.txt;Verb osit y=3")
df <- dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from Sheet_Name_xyz")
Any progress on something like this?
I found this package on GitHub, but have not tried using it yet:
docs: https://rdrr.io/github/elias-jhsph/rsmartsheet/
I am actively using R for analytics and looking forward to having a more reliable tool for accessing smartsheets with RMarkdown docs.
I have created a small but extensible smartsheet API client library for R: https://github.com/cole-johanson/smartsheetr
I will be actively maintaining this, so please submit feedback/issues using https://github.com/cole-johanson/smartsheetr/issues. Thanks!
Hi I am getting a 403 forbidden status when trying to use the endpoint to copy one folder to another. This has worked previously and I can access other endpoints of the API.
We are trying to update all users’ timesheets programmatically, which will involve tens of thousands of records in total. According to the Resource Management API documentation, time entries can only be updated one at a time. Is there a way to batch update multiple records at once? If I’m not mistaken, the API rate limit…
I have just recently found use cases where I needed Bridge. I created a sheet with unpivotted data. I have a love/hate relationship with the tool for now. I really like flexibility and power, what I don't like is how difficult it is to troubleshoot and in some ways manage the workflows. Seems to be some sensitive points…
