Bulk Report Creation via Smartsheet API #51

Description

Describe the bug
Need to generate around 3,000 reports from a Smartsheet, so planned to automate this process using Smartsheet Python SDK. However, when attempting to create a report programmatically, encountered the following error:
"The error 'Reports' object has no attribute 'create_report' indicates that the Smartsheet Python SDK does not have a method called create_report for the reports objects. This is because the Smartsheet API Currently does not support the direct creation of reports through the API in the same way that it does for sheets, rows, and columns."

Given that manually creating 3,000 reports would be highly inefficient, I would appreciate your guidance on alternative methods or best practices to achieve this level of automation.

Expected behavior
Automatically creating reports through the API by using Python SDK.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Smartsheet Python SDK Version 2.105.1
  • Python Version 3.12
