Home/Smartsheet/Smartsheet API for Developers
Smartsheet

Use the Smartsheet API to reach where connectors can't.

Smartsheet's REST API lets an application read and write sheets, rows, and attachments programmatically, authenticated with an access token generated from your account. SDKs exist for Python, JavaScript, Java, and .NET, and the API also supports webhooks for near-instant notification of row changes.

What the Smartsheet API actually lets you do

After generating an access token from your Smartsheet account, basic calls, fetching a sheet's rows, adding a new row, updating a cell value, are straightforward REST requests, and the official SDKs wrap that into native code for whichever language you're using.

Webhooks let you register for row-change notifications on a specific sheet, so an external system can react the moment a row's added or updated rather than polling the sheet repeatedly.

Because row and column identifiers are tied to the sheet's actual structure, anything that renames a column or restructures a sheet can affect code written against it, which is worth planning for.

What building on the API actually takes

This is developer work: handling token security, verifying webhook payloads are genuine, and keeping the integration working as a sheet's structure evolves over time.

We build and maintain that layer as our actual job, so it's reliable infrastructure rather than a project someone on staff is quietly maintaining on the side.

Where this shows up in practice

01

Rows created automatically from another system

New rows land in a sheet through the API the moment matching data shows up in another system, instead of someone exporting and re-entering it.

02

Instant reaction to a row change

A webhook fires the moment a row changes, and we build the listener that turns it into a real action elsewhere, a notification, an update to another record, right away.

Have an idea for what Smartsheet should do automatically?

Tell us what it is, and we'll tell you what building it takes.

Let's talk

Considering building directly on the Smartsheet API?

You can, and for the right team it's worth it. We do this as our job full-time, handling token security and structural changes so the integration keeps working. Smartsheet's API is one system we build on; whatever else your business runs on deserves the same question.

Questions people ask

Does Smartsheet have an API?

Yes, a REST API covering sheets, rows, attachments, and most of what you can do through Smartsheet's own interface, available to any plan with API access enabled.

Is there a Python SDK for Smartsheet?

Yes, Smartsheet publishes an official Python SDK, along with SDKs for JavaScript, Java, and .NET, each wrapping the REST API into native code for that language.

Does Smartsheet support webhooks?

Yes, you can register a webhook against a sheet to get notified of row changes in near real time, instead of having to poll the sheet repeatedly to check for updates.

Do I need a developer to use the Smartsheet API?

Yes, using the API directly means writing code against it. If you'd rather not build and maintain that yourself, that's exactly the kind of work we take on.
