Is the Owner/Owner_id attribute broken?

ericncarr · 05/11/22

I'm using Python and I've tried numerous ways to obtain the owner of various sheets via the API but it always returns "None," regardless of whether or not I include owner info in the get sheet command.

I can get the owners of sheets when listing org sheets but the API documentation and the github repository seem to make it clear that owner and owner_id should be able to be queried for a sheet.

I know the Smartsheet API documentation can be spotty...has anyone found a way to get this information or can anyone confirm for sure that it's broken?

Thank you!

Hi @ericncarr

You can get the information on a sheet owner by using "ownerInfo" as a parameter to include (see the query parameters for GetSheet, here: https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/#operation/getSheet)

The output will tell you the ownerId, as well as the owner email.

Cheers!

Thank you Genevieve! That was simple enough - I was putting in "owner_Info" , similar to how you'd put in row_numbers = and just got hung up.... good to know!

Looking at the docs though, is it correct that there isn't the same parameter for dashboards and reports?

Hi @ericncarr

You are correct, I don't see this parameter for a Report or Dashboard. Please submit your request to the API team through this form, here.

Thanks,

Genevieve
