My use case at high level is - get the sheet out of Smartsheet via API (with GET), transform data in a ETL tool and load into a relational db for further manipulation and reporting.
All I'm trying to do is retrieve data for sheets that have been shared with me (a couple as Viewer, 2 as Editor (cannot edit), 2 as Editor (can edit) and 2 as Owner). I'm making a pretty basic API call to get a list of sheets https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets (with auth token and other header attrs) and the problem is that I'm getting all kinds of sheets back (~18,000) in the results but none are the ones I need (see above).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
P.S. Using specific sheet IDs is not going to be feasible as I won't know them when extracting data anyways. Another thing - I will be filtering out the sheets I don't need with the ETL tool's help anyways, just need to understand why the ones I'm after aren't coming back since I'm using the token of that user.
The command https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets?includeAll=true will return every sheet that you can access.

I am searching for a form builder that completes the following requirement.
It should have API to handle form submission. Meaning I can submit data from an API as well, mainly for bulk entries as selecting multiple values and pressing submit button takes a lot of time. So a way through which we can either import some csv/xlsx file into the database directly. Let me explain this situation, suppose I am a manager and I have to evaluate 5 staff members on 15 skill levels. This means that I will have to click on submit button and wait for page refresh for 5 * 15 = 75 times and not just that, I will have to select the same values multiple times. This is a huge interface problem. In short a tabular form in which if I have to create a new entry I will press a button "Add New Row" or Delete the current row and once I am done with this tabular form, I will press the submit button once and my time & data will be saved.
Also API's for getting the stored data so I can use this data for other purposes as well like Visualizing with Microsoft Power BI.
It should also be able to create some reports from that data or have Microsoft Power BI connectors so I can generate reports from that myself. Jotforms creates reports based on the submitted form data. Form.io provides API for accessing the submitted data
It should have a feature for creating resources. Example:- As a form creator I don't want to be manually entering all my staff member names or skills into the dropdown, instead this should come dynamically. Form.io does that.
Also the forms and reports must be protected from SSO.
What I have done so far?
Tried form.io which gives me the ability to create resources and forms. The ability to access and store data through API. But the problem is I cannot submit multiple records with one POST request and it also has no feature of creating reports
Tried JotForms which can create promising reports but there is no
functionality to create resources and access those into other forms.
Tried Custom Tool but this will take a lot of time in development, testing, reviews so I want to opt for an already crafted and maintained by an enterprise tool.
Every Suggestion is Appreciated.
I need to extract metadata from view. When I was reading tableau rest API documentation there is no ways mention in the rest api for sheet metadata and also not mention measure and dimension API extraction. If anyone knows the way how to extract data please help me
Take a look at the Tableau Javascript API...specifically the getData method.
The Rest API is used for automating Tableau Server tasks (add users, create schedules, set permissions, etc).
You can embed a hidden extension into your dashboard that can access worksheet, field and filter information. See the docs on extensions here.
Here is a good example of one that could get you started on pulling the worksheet and field information.
Use the Tableau Metadata API - https://help.tableau.com/current/api/metadata_api/en-us/index.html
You can find sample scripts here - https://github.com/tableau/metadata-api-samples
I am trying to access data via the analytics reportingv4 API. I am using the.net version in visual studio. I can get it to return data but just not the data I want.
I am using a specific account that only has one view attached to it. If I try to view the data I'm looking for, using the web interface, it works, by filtering it using the search box. For example, there is currently 20 page hits for today. If I try the same, using the API, no data is returned. If I remove the filter, from my code, data is returned but none of the pages that I am looking for.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I was being silly. I eventually noticed that I was supplying a date range for the year 2017! The processing which
I've searched for a few days for examples of now to use high maps with sharepoint data. We purchased high maps because we are confident there is a way to make the maps from sharepoint data.
The goal would be either to make a map from address or lat long data OR map just on the country of the item. We are at the phase where we are about to collect data and it's not clear how the data needs to be formatted. I believe we would either pull the data from the sharepoint list via rest and JSON is SPServices and CAML query, I've created datatables and a highcgart pie wth test data in the site.
I'm not finding any good samples out there and hoping some experts will weigh in with advice or a code snippet.
General rule is that Highcharts runs in any web browser, including web controls or browser widgets in other platforms. If SharePoint has a mechanism of including a web page in some kind of frame, then it should work.
I advice to familiar with the article about preprocessing, http://www.highcharts.com/docs/working-with-data/preprocessing and getJSON() functon in jquery.
In the highmaps you can use data points defined as lat/lng.
Further information information about that:

I am working on a web application for a client that uses a postgresql database. I want the client to be able to go to a certain area of the site where the data from the database is displayed in graph form (for example, sales figures over a 6 month period). Is there a plugin I could use for this (I don't have any experience of this, so an easy one, or one with tutorials available would be great). I had a look at BIRT, which says it has a web based option but I couldn't really figure it out. I don't want the client to have to download and go through another program, I just want them to go to a url within their site, and it's all just presented to them there and then.
Any sort of pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
HighCharts, at http://www.highcharts.com/, works well for this case -- I use it fairly often. It supports Ajax data feeds in JSON format, so you can write an endpoint which returns the JSON representing the data from Postgres and which gets called from a JavaScript function which creates the graphs using that data (you would place that call in a ready function).
Also, if you're using Postgres 9.3 or higher, it supports JSON natively, so you can do the JSON conversion in the SQL query itself, as opposed to post-processing the results in your Python or other backend code.
Highcharts is reasonably flexible and allows for a variety of nice-looking, functional charts and graphs. If you want to get much fanicer, d3 may be worth a look. These are some the types of graphs/charts it can do: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery
I have not used d3 myself, however.
For the scenario you described above, Highcharts seems like it would work just fine.
It's been a while, and a lot has happened since 2016. There is now ChartJS as well - http://chartjs.org/, for example, which is easier to use than HighCharts and very flexible (I've used both).
What they both don't do is dynamic data. If you want that your client decides which data he wants to watch - that part you need to write yourself.
