Library that uses Python to connect to Smartsheet services (using API 2.0).
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and is the official Smartsheet Python client. Install it if you need to programmatically interact with Smartsheet from Python; the only prerequisite is a valid Smartsheet API token.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires SMARTSHEET_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable set to a valid Smartsheet API key.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution and five lightweight runtime dependencies (certifi, python-dateutil, requests, requests-toolbelt, six).
- Actively maintained with a release 2 days old.

What it is and what it does
The Smartsheet Python SDK is an official client library that wraps the Smartsheet REST API, letting you build Python applications that interact with Smartsheet workspaces, sheets, rows, and columns. It handles authentication via API tokens, serializes and deserializes Smartsheet objects, and provides a Pythonic interface to common operations like listing sheets, fetching sheet data, adding rows, and updating cells.
The library is built on standard HTTP libraries (requests, requests-toolbelt) and is compatible with modern Python versions from 3.7 onward. It's maintained by Smartsheet and classified as production-stable, making it suitable for business automation, reporting pipelines, and integration workflows that need to read or modify Smartsheet data programmatically.
Use it for
- Automate sheet creation, row insertion, and cell updates in bulk from a Python script or scheduled job.
- Build a reporting tool that fetches data from Smartsheet sheets and transforms it for analysis or export.
- Integrate Smartsheet with other business systems by syncing sheet data bidirectionally via Python middleware.
- Create a custom dashboard or monitoring application that reads Smartsheet metrics and displays them elsewhere.
- Implement workflow automation that triggers Smartsheet updates based on external events or API calls.
