Hi

I am attempting to use the Node.js Airtable API to post data from an HTML5 form to Airtable. Has anyone developed a way to do this securely (without exposing the API key)? Tips for getting this done?

Goal is to find a workaround for the missing features and lack of customization for Airtable forms.

Thanks!

You should do this from the server side as it is impossible to hide the ApiKey from the client side JS

Check out Cloudflare Workers Project: https://builtonair.com/resource/airtable-proxy-cloudflare-worker/

or here is a new Forms project that may be an option: https://builtonair.com/resource/form-nano/

I’ll also DM you with another option of ours that is not yet live.
