Hello Community,

This is how I am getting the records using the Python requests library: How to get more than 100 rows using Airtable API in Python using offest?

But some fields only show the “Record_id” instead of actual values. I hit a wall trying to find solutions to this. How do I resolve this?
Any leads would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

But some records only show the “Record_id” instead of actual fields and their values.

Is it possible you have empty rows in your table?

Yes, you understood me correctly.
These are filled but they show the “Record_ID” only.
