This is a Java SDK to simplify connecting to Smartsheet API in Java applications.
The SDK supports Java 11 or later.
There are three different ways to install the SDK. Select the one that fits your environment best:
- Install By Using Maven
- Install By Downloading the Jar File
- Install By Compiling Directly From Source
Add the SDK as a dependency in your project.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.smartsheet</groupId>
<artifactId>smartsheet-sdk-java</artifactId>
<version>[version]</version>
</dependency>
The current artifact version reference can be found here
SDK packaged as a jar. This jar requires that all of the following dependencies are manually added to the path:
Apache HttpComponents 4.5
Simple Logging Facade for Java 1.7.12
Jackson FasterXML 2.6.2
Jackson Core 2.6.2
You can also navigate to the Sonatype Library Page instead of directly downloading the Jar file.
The source code for the jar can be downloaded from Github and then compiled. This can be accomplished using git and maven with the following 3 steps.
git clone https://github.com/smartsheet/smartsheet-java-sdk.git
cd smartsheet-java-sdk
./gradlew clean build
To call the API, you will need an access token, which looks something like this example: ll352u9jujauoqz4gstvsae05. You can generate the access token in the Smartsheet UI at Account > Personal Settings > API Access.
The following is a brief sample that shows you how to:
- Initialize the client
- List all sheets
- Load one sheet
To initialize the client, you'll need to include the appropriate import directives in your code. For example, the code examples in this section require the following import directives:
import com.smartsheet.api.*;
import com.smartsheet.api.models.*;
import com.smartsheet.api.oauth.*;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.*;
// Initialize client
String accessToken = "JKlMNOpQ12RStUVwxYZAbcde3F5g6hijklM789";
Smartsheet smartsheet = SmartsheetFactory.createDefaultClient(accessToken);
// List all sheets
PagedResult<Sheet> sheets = smartsheet.sheetResources().listSheets();
System.out.println("Found " + sheets.getTotalCount() + " sheets");
long sheetId = sheets.getData().get(0).getId(); // Default to first sheet
// sheetId = 567034672138842L; // TODO: Uncomment if you wish to read a specific sheet
System.out.println("Loading sheet id: " + sheetId);
// Load the entire sheet
Sheet sheet = smartsheet.sheetResources().getSheet(sheetId);
System.out.println("Loaded " + sheet.getTotalRowCount() + " rows from sheet: " + sheet.getName());
