Python get_columns response.
![MikeG_O](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
I am trying to find specific columns through the python api.
Running something like
listColumns = smartAPI.Sheets.get_columns(83053825###, include_all=True)
gives me the object and not the Field Name.
[<smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD26C18>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD4D2B0>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD4D860>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD4DCF8>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD101D0>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD10668>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD10B00>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD10F98>, <smartsheet.models.column.Column object at 0x000001FBBBD13470>,
...]
How do I go about finding the Name?

Hey @MikeG_O
It looks like you may just need to resolve the response (i.e.
columns = listColumns.data
). Here's the API Documentation and example: List ColumnsLet me know if this has helped!

Hi @MikeG_O
Genevieve is correct. You need to access the data.
The options are to loop over listColumns, like the below:
for x in listColumns.data:
print (x.title)
or
print ([x.title for x in listColumns.data])
