Hi all,
I am totally green in terms of creating API and programming stuff, but keen very much to learn it. Do you know any places to recommend as a good start points?
Marcin.
Hi Marcin,
Is it for Smartsheet or in general? Below you have some info when it comes to Smartsheet.
Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

I hope this helps you!

Hi Andree,
I must say: both ;].
You know, to learn how to use it with Smartsheet, I assume I have to learn how to create an API in one of coding languages etc. but which one is the best to choose? Which one is the easiest for me? I have no idea
Also, I would like to know what can I obtain by using APIs with Smartsheet, any exaples? Probably because I have no knowlegde about it, I can't see what kind of extension (in terms of scope of using Smartsheet) I can get. Or maybe it is only for highly specialized functions that I will never use?
So confused...
I'm also interested in learning API, but I don't have the time and use case to justify it. Except that it would be fun and useful to know. If that's your situation as well, I would recommend looking at other options but first, go through what you need.
There are many resources, Linkedin Learning, Skillshare, Udemy, Youtube.
Heres a great starting point and then Craig and others that are familiar with API in the community can most definitely give better resources.

API questions are best answered on Stack Overflow (www.stackoverflow.com) with the smartsheet-api tag.
Issues are best entered on GitHub

I have a report that beautifully aggregates data from 70+ sheets. I need one column from that report to populate a helper sheet that I have: Source Sheets > Report > Helper Sheet As the report grows with data, I want the helper sheet to grow with it without manual intervention. Ergo, the API question. Here's what I know…
We're looking to create a Gantt chart by inserting the data and creating the chart via the API (actually via the Java SDK, but either will do). Inserting the data is fine, but cannot seem to get the setDependenciesEnabled (which believe need for the Gantt ) or setGanttEnabled() to work… We think part of this is the order…
Hi, Since yesterday (dec 18), many calls to the api are failing or taking way longer than expected (2500seconds to read a sheet). What is the current server status and when should it be back to normal ?
