I have created an excel power query to retrieve data from airtable, I would need to expand this to be able to pull from multiple tables which is fine. My question is, has anyone encountered any issues with making multiple data pulls a day from airtable and getting IP address blocked, similar to what can happen with web scraping data?

Hi @Andrew_Jones1, and welcome to the community!



No.


There are two ways to pull data from Airtable -



  1. Via a webhook

  2. Via an API call


In both cases, you establish a trusted integration. The API requires a key that only you can retrieve, and the webhook requires a URL that is known only to people with access to the data. With trusted requests, you are not scraping, and therefore, you will never encounter this issue.
