Bridge API?

I have a curious question. I saw in the Bridge Admin settings you can generate an API Key. It seems that bridge has an API that could be interacted with. Is there documentation for that anywhere? Could we use the "Bridge API" to do additional back end functions like changing a workspace name or workflow name?

Is your Multi contact list column restricted to only values that are in the contact list for the sheet? If so, you might want to turn that off.<\/p>

Also make sure the column isn't locked.<\/p>

Also add a \"level\" parameter to the API call with value of 2, that should enable multi picklist and multi-contact list functions.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":320,"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108731,"type":"question","name":"API export to excel to include the rowpermalink","excerpt":"trying to include the rowpermalink in my sheet export according to the API doc the ?include=rowpermalink in the URL should do it however it does not show in the row with all the other data from the sheet. any help would be greatly apprecitated. $URL =…","snippet":"trying to include the rowpermalink in my sheet export according to the API doc the ?include=rowpermalink in the URL should do it however it does not show in the row with all the…","categoryID":320,"dateInserted":"2023-08-09T14:56:39+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-08-11T17:42:09+00:00","insertUserID":164847,"insertUser":{"userID":164847,"name":"palefty","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/palefty","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-11T17:41:17+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":164847,"lastUser":{"userID":164847,"name":"palefty","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/palefty","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-11T17:41:17+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":90,"score":null,"hot":3383369928,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108731\/api-export-to-excel-to-include-the-rowpermalink","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108731\/api-export-to-excel-to-include-the-rowpermalink","format":"Rich","tagIDs":[227],"lastPost":{"discussionID":108731,"commentID":390267,"name":"Re: API export to excel to include the rowpermalink","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/390267#Comment_390267","dateInserted":"2023-08-11T17:42:09+00:00","insertUserID":164847,"insertUser":{"userID":164847,"name":"palefty","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/palefty","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-11T17:41:17+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-08-11T17:42:18+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-08-10T03:06:28+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":389950,"body":"

Hi @palefty<\/a> <\/p>

The Smartsheet API does not possess a native method to directly fetch or incorporate clickable row permalinks when you export a sheet to an Excel file. So, users need more intuitive, clickable links within their exported Excel sheets.<\/p>

To address this, I have implemented a workaround:<\/p>

(I used Smartsheet SDK to implement the workaround)<\/p>

\n \n https:\/\/gist.github.com\/jmyzk\/5cc4dfbbf79b010d374f0b5ad3fa0a4b\n <\/a>\n<\/div>


<\/p>

Fetching Permalinks:<\/strong> The code interacts with the Smartsheet API to retrieve each row's permalink values.<\/p>

Incorporating into the sheet:<\/strong> These permalink values are then populated into a designated column. When you export the sheet as an Excel file, you'll notice a column filled with URLs corresponding to the permalinks for each row in Smartsheet.<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"export<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n \n https:\/\/app.smartsheet.com\/b\/publish?EQBCT=adda95b9ed0d49f192faa76e1535bc47\n <\/a>\n<\/div>

Making the Links Clickable:<\/strong> As a final step, to enhance user experience and ease of access, the code processes the Excel file to convert these plain URL texts into clickable hyperlinks. Thus, when users click these links in the Excel sheet, they're directed to the appropriate Smartsheet row online.<\/p>

With the implemented code, users can easily navigate to Smartsheet rows directly from their Excel sheets.<\/p>
