I am trying to find out if it's possible to use Smartsheet API or any other method to export specific columns data from Report Builder results to Excel file rather than the whole column that was generated from it. I am new to Smartheet and if you need better clarification or if there is any method to this approach, please let me know.
You can get the results of a Report via the Smartsheet API. When you make the request the Report is run to give you the current results of the Report just as if you opened it in your browser. There is also a specific request in the Smartsheet API on Reports to get the data provided as an Excel file. With this you can then work with the data in Excel as you need. This request is listed in the Smartsheet API docs here:

I have a list in "SharePoint in Microsoft 365" and am looking to extend its usefulness. I would like to create a button or something that can take a row of data and send it to an external site via API (another tool that we have created).
To be clear:
SharePoint initiates a GET or POST request
the request must have row or field data attached
the destination is outside of Microsoft/SharePoint
Can it be done?
(Apologies if this is a repeat question, I could only find answers that pertained to older versions of SharePoint and focused on hitting external APIs to retrieve data, not send it.)
OK, i think the best choice to send Data from a selected row, is to use the ListView Command Set here you can do anything with #pnp/nodejs.
Otherwise...
PowerAutomate can help send data.
I need to export details of a project into a excel. Is there any API which will export JIRA details to EXCEL?
JIRA has a REST API and the generic Web Data Connector inside Excel will happily connect, make a query based on the criteria you specify in the URL, and convert the returned JSON data into a table of data in Excel.
I'm using google spreadsheet api to visualize data for users and I want to get feedback if data is wrong. I found how to get data from server side to spreadsheet here
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/get
but i can't find out how to request sending data from spreadsheet to server. what i thought is write down url in one cell. so if user click url then get data from user's spreadsheet.
Can you suggest me better idea?
thanks in advance.
What would be the simplest tool/editor (ideally for Mac) to run web API queries (Stateless RESTful web API) in a loop in order to store Json results in a file ?
Very simple basically, trying just to automate the following :
- a first call to get a list of IDs
- then for each each ID, doing a call to get a few values related to this ID. Values are returned in a Json file, I would like to store them in a file (csv or excel)
To test the queries, I've used "Advanced REST client" to set a request with my authentication information header and do a few API queries tests, it works well but now I basically want to create a script to get the whole set of data which is returned and save in a file. With the idea to run this script from time to time. You can't to that with "Advanced REST client", right?
Sorry it's not (yet!) a super advanced question but any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may try Postman - definitely works on (accursed) Mac
I'll get this out of the way first: I'm an amateur programmer (at best)...i have some knowledge of how APIs work, but little to no experience manipulating the podio API directly (ie I use zapier/globiflow a lot and don't write any php/ruby). I'm sure other people can figure this out via the API documentation, but I can't. So i'm really hoping someone can help clarify and give some more detailed instruction.
My Overall objective:
I frequently export podio files as xlsx from the podio front-end. This is used by my team and me to do regular data analysis tasks in excel. I would like to make this process easier by automating the function of getting an updated podio export into my excel. My plan is to do this via excel VBA. I understand from other searching that it is possible to send an HTTP request using VBA, so i want to make sure i understand what I need to send to the Podio API to get what I need. The method of how to write the HTTP request in excel VBA is outside the intentional scope of this question (though i'd accept any help on this!)
What I've tried so far:
I know that 'get items as xlsx' is part of the podio API: https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/get-items-as-xlsx-63233
However I cannot seem to get this to work in the sandbox environment on that page so that i can figure out a valid request url. I get this message: 'Invalid filtering key' ... because i have no idea how to fill in that field. The information on that page is not clear on this. Nor is it evident on the referenced 'views page'. There are no examples to follow!
I don't even want to do any filtering. I just want to get ALL items in the app. Or i can give it a pre-existing view_id, but that doens't seem to work either without a {key}
I realise this is probably dead simple. Please help a noob? :)
Unfortunately, the interactive API sandbox does not behave appropriately for this particular endpoint. For filtering, this API endpoint expects query string parameters where the field-value pairs consist of integer field IDs and the allowed values for each field. Filtering by fields is totally optional. It looks like this sandbox page isn't built for this kind of operation with dynamic query string field names; wherever you see the {key} field on that page is meant as a placeholder for whatever field IDs that you would use for filtering.
If you want to experiment with this endpoint, I would encourage you to try another dedicated HTTP client first. I was able to get this simple example working with the command-line program wget:
wget --header="Authorization:OAuth2 $MY_SECRET_TOKEN" \
--content-disposition \
"https://api.podio.com/item/app/16476850/xlsx/"
In this case, wget downloaded an Excel file containing all the items in my app without any filtering applied. The additional --content-disposition argument tells wget to save the output as a file with a name using the information in the server's Content-Disposition response header.
With a filter applied:
wget --header="Authorization:OAuth2 $MY_SECRET_TOKEN" \
--content-disposition \
"https://api.podio.com/item/app/16476850/xlsx/?130654431=galaxy"
In this case, the downloaded file filtered the results to items where field id 130654431 (which is a category field) contain the value galaxy.
