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.

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.

Hi Builders, You’ve been asking versions of the same question in this community: when do I use Smart Assist, when an automation, when MCP, and when plain API code? 🤔 So we’re starting a new series, the Smartsheet Builders Series: Building with Smartsheet MCP and Agents, and the first post tackles exactly that. 📖 Smart…
Tell us the one Smartsheet API that would save you the most manual work or workarounds. One word is enough. If you’d like, add what you’re trying to do and how you handle it today. Your answers go straight into deciding what we build next.
Restructuring sheets with tighter dropdowns and clearer naming is key. Why? Because ambiguous column names and free-text status fields that a person reads as fine can produce inconsistent agent behaviour. It’s worth unpacking, because the reason is not that the agent is worse at reading than you are. It is that you bring…
