# Smartsheet API introduction

The Smartsheet API enables you to programmatically access and manage your organization's Smartsheet resources. The [API Reference](/api/smartsheet/openapi) includes object schemas, operation specifications, and code snippets for [Sheets](/api/smartsheet/openapi/sheets), [Folders](/api/smartsheet/openapi/folders), [Users](/api/smartsheet/openapi/users), and more.

Requirements
**Plan:** Business, Enterprise, or Advanced Work Management

**Developer Agreement:** The Developer Agreement governs the use of the Smartsheet API and Smartsheet software development kits (SDKs)

> ## 🚀 What's new!
- **Smartsheet MCP server:** Connect Smartsheet to AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex, and use 30+ tools to manage your sheets, rows, columns, and more through natural-language prompts. Learn more [here](/ai-mcp/smartsheet/mcp-server).
- **Asset path endpoints:** Get locations of sheets, reports, dashboards, and folders, for context and to explore related assets. Learn more [here](/api/smartsheet/changelog#added-path-endpoints-for-sheets-reports-dashboards-and-folders).
- **Getting started VIDEO:** Follow the video at [Get started](/api/smartsheet/guides/getting-started) to generate an API token and make your first call in less than three minutes.



## Try the API

You can call operations from within the site via our **Try it** request editor.

## Client SDKs

Smartsheet provides client libraries that make it easy to call the API from your preferred language. The SDKs handle authentication, request formatting, and response parsing so you can focus on building your integration. You'll find SDK code examples alongside REST snippets throughout the API documentation.
