API and Developers

Hey dev friends, Part 2 of Mastering Smartsheet API is live: "The Smartsheet Data Model: What Every Developer Needs to Know." You sync 500 rows. The API returns 200 on every request. No errors. You open the sheet and half the Status values are blank. The cause: string values written to a PICKLIST column that didn't exactly…

September 8, 2026 (re-released) If you've ever wondered who in your organization is using the Smartsheet API and how extensively — you no longer need to reach out to Support to find out. A new dedicated view in the Admin Center gives System Administrators direct visibility into API usage across their organization. Here's…

Is there a way, as the Smartsheet Administrator, to transfer ownership of a SINGLE workspace from one user to another, with or without requiring confirmation from any users?

Hey dev friends, Part 4 of Mastering Smartsheet API is live: Rate Limits, Retry Logic, and Error Handling with Smartsheet API. Your integration works in staging. You test it, it passes, you deploy. Two weeks later, a bulk sync job starts failing silently. The logs show a wall of 429s, and because there's no retry logic,…

This is done by iterating over the sheet in chunks of 70 rows at a time, and then calling …Sheets.delete_rows(…), etc. Lately, we…
