Development & APIs

Right now I am able to upload attachment (which is there in ‘data’ variable, without using FormData). using this code : var filename = url.split('/')[url.split('/').length - 1]; var data = await fetch(url).then(res => res.blob()); console.log(data) var upload = await fetch("https://api.product.ai/v1/queues/139331/upload", { body : data, headers: { Authorization: "token " + key, "Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename="+filename, "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }, method: "POST" }); console.log(upload); Now I also want to upload JSON data along with the attachment using same Post method . This JSON data will contain cell values of different cloumns in airtable. For this, the software has curl and JS code for uploading data. It uses form-data option for uploading attachment and other metadata(cell values of the airtable Table). Airtable does

Hi - I am very new to scripting and looking for advice on how to update the existing script. I grabbed this pre-made script from the Airtable library to create child records. In addition to creating the child records, I was hoping to update a field on that child record as well with an inputted value. Can anyone advise on what updates to make? let settings = input.config({ title: 'Create child linked records', description: `For a record in a "parent" table, this script will create some number of “child” records in another table, where each “child” references the “parent” through a Linked Record field.`, items: [ input.config.table('parentTable', { label: 'Parent table' }), input.config.table('childTable', { label: 'Child table' }), input.config.field('linkField', { parentTable: 'childTable', label: 'Linked record field', }), ], }); async function createChildrenLinkedRecords() { let { parentTable, childTable, linkField } = settings; if ( li

Hey all! I wish to make a website in pory.io that integrates with airtable The website is an idea suggestion page where anyone can post an idea and the others “vote” / “like”. The issue is that I can’t seem to find how to create this script that will know to update the filed in the table. So please help :]

Hello there so here the situation I’m creating a Laravel + Airtable Website this is what I did : so first I created my design & page convert them to blade.php I created a JS file to fetch data from my Airtable base with multiple field & tabs parse those data to pages here the code :slightly_smiling_face: var type = "Regions" var api_key = "?api_key=*************" var perPage = "&pagesize=2000" var maxRecords = "&maxRecords=2000" var url = "https://api.airtable.com/v0/app*********/" + type + api_key + perPage + maxRecords + "'"; const app = document.getElementById('root') const card = document.createElement('div'); card.setAttribute('class', 'rightcontainer w-container') app.appendChild(card) async function catchJson() { const response = await fetch(url); const data = await response.json(); if (response.status >= 200 && response.status < 400) { data.records.forEach(records => { const records_length = document.ge

I want to share my dashboard with installed blocks with other user without sharing my base/views. I am not able to find anything. Please help

Hi everyone I’m using miniextensions to create individual URLs from Airtable records - which works just fine, but I want to be able to password protect these URLs (perhaps adding some javascript to the code?) so that you have to enter a password before being able to view the content of that page. Is this possible? I’ve explored using Pagecrypt but this only seems to work if you individually create an html file manually from each record, having already run the miniextensions app. What I need is for each new URL generated in each record, this to already have the code built into it. Any guidance much appreciated! Thank you :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

How do I use the REST API to delete ten records at a time using axios? I can successfully delete one record at a time, but due to the API design, I am having a problem constructing the URL to delete ten at a time. Here is what works with one record at a time: I am using a library in Node.js called axios to do HTTP method calls, and here is the call that works: await axios.delete(url, {params: params, headers: headers}) .then(async function(response) { console.log('DELETED:', response.status, response.statusText); }); I define params this way (I have a method call that returns the params to send to axios) params = await getParams(rec); // rec is the Airtable record identifier like: `rec async function getDelParams(rec) { const params = { 'records[]': rec // rec is like: rec5GWL8xCpofFKFC }; return params } In this key/value pair, I can only have one entry of : records[] , no more, I need ten. The REST API requires multiple recor

Can I just get a confirmation that DOMParser isn’t supported in the Scripting app? I’m trying this: let parser = new DOMParser(); let html = parser.parseFromString(htmlString,"text/xml"); And getting this: ReferenceError: DOMParser is not defined

Hi, would Airtable block or flag my application somehow if I was using short polling to retrieve data from the api like every 5 seconds for a long period of time, not many connections would be using it, mostly an admin app made in React? Thank you

Hello, I have a table representing a guest list with prefilled columns for ‘Name’ and ‘Surname’. I have a form the guests can fill to check that they are on the guest list. the form has inputs for Name and Surname. My ‘POST’ method works i.e it returns the found guest along with the row’s ID in some cases but for other cases, it returns an empty array. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Many thanks

I’m trying to submit a request from an external database to add records and an error comes out. Tell me, is there any way to remove the restriction? {“error”:{“type”:“INVALID_RECORDS”,“message”:“A maximum of 10 records can be created per request but you have provided 32.”}}

Hi, I’m following this tutorial to run a hello world Airtable app: Hello, World Airtable app . Everything runs well on blocks-cli after I execute block runs and I have https://localhost:9000 displays on my browser without any issue. However, when I come to the app section on Airtable, it shows an error log: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@airtable/blocks-cli/transpiled/src/builder/node_modules/yaml/index.d.ts: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined (screenshot below). I’ve tested on both Node 14.0.1 and Node 12.0.0 & reinstall @airtable/blocks-cli multiple times but no luck. Anyone faced this issue before? I highly appreciate any help!

Hello, all. I am able to return data after an API from all bar one row. All rows seem identical i.e no empty fields. Does anyone know what might be happening? Thanks BTW If I query using Postman I get the expected result?

Hi Everyone! Thanks for you time beforehand and apologies if this case was already resolved in another topic (altough I couldn’t find any similar). I am pretty new to airtable scripting and I hit a roadblock in one of my codes. I need to iterate and create multiple linked records into a table, but my code is throwing me the following error “j: Can’t create records: invalid cell value for field ‘Property’. Cell value has invalid format: .0.0 must be an object. Linked records field value must be an array of objects with property ‘id’ corresponding to linked record id.” I assume this is because I have to put some sort of id in the createRecordAsync function, but I am not sure how the syntax for that should be. Full code: let importTable = base.getTable('Master List'); let importView = importTable.getView('Active'); let importQuery = await importTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let newTable = base.getTable('New Table'); for (let record of importQuery.records) { let recordName = record.getC

Here is another discussion I opened on the Gatsby forums Anyone know how to rename a node's file extension? · Discussion #33916 · gatsbyjs/gatsby · GitHub The gist of it is, I am expecting the api to give me back exactly the file extension I want, yet it seems to compress it or otherwise rename it to an mpga. Is this a quirk of the API, or something specific to what I am using?

Hi - Has anyone managed to successfully encrypt information via scripting or otherwise? Would love help or suggestions. @Bill.French listed an encryption solution and I love it. Field-level Encryption: Does Anyone Care?

I have a base which records are being created automatically via an Integromat integration. Part of the process is creating a thumbnail image pulled from a URL link. All this happens through Integromat, an integration someone did for me. Lately, I have been getting empty thumbnail icons in Airtable after new records are being created. All links work ok but there is no thumbnail. If I manually delete the empty thumbnail and re-upload it via the link that is covered, the image shows perfectly. I have over a hundred records with no thumbnail. Would love to create a script that I can assign to a button that allows me to replace the empty icon with a fresh image pulled from the link. Any guidance as to how to start structuring the script would be super appreciated. I am very new to scripting and javascript. Tried searching for solutions here but maybe I am not searching for the right thing. Thank you!!!.

Is there any way to securely store and fetch secrets in Airtable (API keys, etc), and then access them from within a Script (not an App)?

I’ve created a script which counts the number of rows grouped by the column ‘Deal stage’. I now want to tweak it to sum the values in column ‘First credits’ and group by deal stage, rather than count the number. Any ideas? It’s basically a =SUMIF equivalent. let table = base.getTable('Origination'); let result = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); let recorddeal = result.records.filter(recorddeal => recorddeal.getCellValue('Deal stage')); let records = result.records.filter(recorddeal => recorddeal.getCellValue('Deal stage')); function countByField(records, groupByField) { let counts = {}; for (let recorddeal of records) { let key = recorddeal.getCellValueAsString(groupByField); if (key in counts) { counts[key] = counts[key] + 1; } else { counts[key] = 1; } } return counts; } let categoryCounts = countByField(records, 'Deal stage'); const primaryFieldId = table.fields[0].id; const queryResult = await table.

Hi, I built below script to use a filed in a new record created as input as project but it doesn’t work and I cannot understand why:

Hi, I’m trying to run the below VLOOKUP type script. When I type it in I get a strikethough on mainTable.selectRecordsAsync - I’m not a programmer and wondering 1) if this is why my script is not running and 2) how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! let mainTable = base.getTable(“Price Book”); let mainTableRecords = await mainTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let lookupTable = base.getTable(“Inventory”); let lookupRangeRecords = await lookupTable.selectRecordsAsync(); for (let record of mainTableRecords.records) { let lookupValue = record.getCellValue(“Number”); for (let rangeRecord of lookupRangeRecords.records) { if (rangeRecord.getCellValue(“Item”) === lookupValue) { let returnValue = rangeRecord.getCellValue(“CA INV”); await mainTable.updateRecordAsync(record, { "CA Inv": returnValue }); } } }

Per the documentation, it appears that we can’t send cookies in headers for fech() commands. I’m trying to access an API with a GET request in which the only authentication method I have available is a session cookie. Does anyone know of another way to be able to make a cookie/session-based get request from within an airtable script/automation?

The script is below. I have to tables. Provider AIS API Info and Global APIs. Field “Provider ID” from the Provider AIS API tab should be looked up in the Global APIs tab, in field Provider ID. The matched records should return the “Is it global?” Field back into the “Global API?” field of the Provider AIS API info tab. The script is below: let mainTable = base.getTable("Provider AIS API Info"); let mainTableRecords = await mainTable.selectRecordsAsync(); let lookupTable = base.getTable("Global APIs"); let lookupRangeRecords = await lookupTable.selectRecordsAsync(); for (let record of mainTableRecords.records) { let lookupValue = record.getCellValue("Provider ID"); for (let rangeRecord of lookupRangeRecords.records) { if (rangeRecord.getCellValue("Provider Summary") === lookupValue) { let returnValue = rangeRecord.getCellValue("Is it Global?"); await mainTable.updateRecordAsync(record, { "Global API?": returnValue

Bear with as I’m new to this product! Does anyone have a recommendation for building dashboards with AirTable Data? I’d love something that could pull data from multiple sources, but has a strong ability to integrate with airtable. Someone suggested to just copy and paste data into google sheets and build something in google data studio, but I want something that has a live connection and more robust integration features. Thanks in advance!

One of the big limitations for Airtable users who are trying to use Zapier is that we only have 2 triggers: “New Record” and “New Record In View”. The problem with “New Record in View” is that it will only trigger once for the entire lifetime of the record (in that view). But I have discovered some pretty cool workarounds! In regards to Zapier not being able to trigger multiple times for the same record, I have discovered 2 relatively acceptable workarounds to this issue. (Meaning that these workarounds are not really “full solutions”, but they should be acceptable for a wide variety of use cases.) Both of these workarounds require a paid Zapier plan: As described in this Airtable blog entry, we can use Zapier’s Code by Zapier module as the trigger for any Airtable action (such as searching records to give us the records we’re looking for). You don’t even need to know any JavaScript — you just set Zapier to run this simple JavaScript code that always returns “true”: output = [{status
