No such host is known (api.smartsheet.com) - Java SDK

Question

Trying to get sheet data using the smartsheet java sdk. This is the code I am using -

Smartsheet smartsheet = new SmartsheetBuilder()
                .setAccessToken(accessToken)
                .build();
smartsheet.setAssumedUser(emailAddress);
smartsheet.sheetResources().getSheet(sheetId, null, null, null, null, null,null, null);

This is the error I am getting -

java.net.UnknownHostException: No such host is known (api.smartsheet.com)

When I make a get request on postman using the same access token it works.

Answer 1

I don't know much about Java, but based on a bit of research I'd suspect you may be getting that error due to your internal proxy. According to the (accepted) answer in this other Stack Overflow post, you can setup a proxy in the Smartsheet Java SDK by using the same process that Smartsheet's QR Code sample uses.
