Python API - Getting Started

Elias Adame

I'm barely getting started with Smarthsheet's Python API. I'm trying to get current user by using

smartsheet_client.Users.get_current_user()

but instead of getting a json response such as

{
  "id": 48569348493401200,
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "locale": "en_US",
  "timeZone": "US/Pacific",
  "account": {
    "name": "Team Smartsheet",
    "id": 942513719853956
  }

I get the following:

<smartsheet.models.user_profile.UserProfile at 0x267f8f85748>

Any thoughts on what is going wrong?

EDIT: I simply needed to print. DUH. Don't know how to delete question.

Hi @Elias Adame

I'm glad you were able to figure it out! There are more examples of using Python with the Smartsheet API in Stack Overflow (here) should you have questions in the future.

Cheers,

Genevieve
