Hello everyone,
I’m running a website that relies heavily on the Airtable API to manage and sync dynamic content such as product data, categories, and status updates. Recently, I’ve started facing inconsistent behavior when making API requests from my website to Airtable, and I’m struggling to identify the root cause.
In some cases, API calls that previously worked without issue are now returning partial data, delayed responses, or unexpected empty fields, even though the records clearly exist in the base. Other times, the same endpoint works correctly on a manual test (using tools like Postman), but fails or behaves differently when called from the live website environment. This inconsistency makes it difficult to trust the data being displayed on the frontend.
I’ve double-checked the API key permissions, base structure, field names, and rate limits, and everything appears to be configured correctly. No major schema changes were made before the issue started, which makes the behavior even more confusing. The website uses server-side requests to the Airtable REST API, and caching is minimal to avoid stale data.
Has anyone experienced similar issues when integrating Airtable with a live website? Are there known limitations, best practices, or debugging steps I might be missing? I can share more details about the API requests, base setup, or logs if needed.
