Download Sheet data via API

Juan Montoya

Is there sample code in C# to download data from a sheet to a local drive?

for some reason when I use the API and try to read the number of rows I always get null values

long? numRows = tmpSheet.TotalRowCount;

Thanks in advance

Hi Juan!

We have some basic code samples available in our API documentation. If you're looking to download a Sheet onto your local computer, I'd suggest looking at this section in our docs: http://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?csharp#get-sheet-as-excel-/-pdf-/-csv

We also have SDKs available in C#, which may help you to get started with the API. You can download them here: https://www.smartsheet.com/developers/sdks

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Joseph

CORREIOS SMARTSHEET

Same problem. this is my code in pYthon 2.7, Debian OS, with ordinary user credentials. Tokens were substituted for security reasons.

OBJECUTVE: Read a certain SmartSheet, read thru its collumns and row and get some data, using API.

Please find below my code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#!/usr/bin/python

import smartsheet

#Token
planilha = smartsheet.Smartsheet(MyToken)

#SheetId
xSheetId = MySheetId

#print Sheet
print 'Getting sheet %s' % (xSheetId)

# Get sheet
xSheet = planilha.Sheets.get_sheet(xSheetId)

# print result
print xSheet

When I run the above code, I get the following errors.

...

Getting sheet MyToken

If I run with Curl, with the same credentials

curl https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/xSheetId -H "Authorization: MyToken"

I get the following error:

{
"errorCode" : 1004,
"message" : "You are not authorized to perform this action.",
"refId" : "1lym35mqns1bx"
}
