Embedded Iframe is showing outdated data (not updated / look like chached iframe)

​@GeorgF 

Unfortunately, that is how all of Airtable’s publicly-shared pages work, whether they are embedded in a website or just accessed directly through a share link.

So you would need to refresh the webpage in order to see the updated data.

For real-time access to the constantly-updating data, you have a few different ways of doing this:

1. Have users log into your Airtable base, either as an internal collaborator (i.e. a teammate of yours) or as an external user (i.e. the general public) by using Airtable’s portals feature.
    
2. Using Airtable along with a 3rd-party portal. Many of the 3rd-party portals offer real-time updating of data.
   
   The most popular portals that are currently available for Airtable are: Noloco, JetAdmin, Softr, Pory, and Glide.
   
   I know with certainty that Noloco updates the Airtable data in real-time, but I’m not sure which other ones offer this feature. I gave an entire one-hour webinar on Noloco called Building a Client Portal on Noloco powered by Airtable.
    
3. If you have access to a Javascript programmer, you could write custom programming code for your own website to continually interact with the Airtable API to retrieve your data, and you could set it to refresh the data frequently.
    
4. Another brainstorming idea I had on this topic: There might be some tool or extension you could install on your website to continually refresh the webpage when users visit it. I’m not familiar with a tool like this, but I bet it probably exists!

Yeah iFrame embeds are static I’m afraid

I had a project where the user was making updates to Airtable and needed to see the changes immediately in the embed and that was fairly easy to do.  If the changes are coming directly from Airtable you could set up a system to refresh the iFrame when an update’s made, but that’d be a lot more work to set up and may also use up a lot of automations

Could you talk a bit about what you’re trying to do?  Kind of curious what the workflow is that needs a real time update like that!

Unfortunately, the embeds won’t update automatically. You’ll need to refresh the page to see the latest content.

If you require updated data in real time:

• Use platforms like Softr, Noloco etc to build a frontend that easily connects to your Airtable data.
• If you have a wordpress site, You can use a plugin like Air WP Sync to sync data in real time. [Check out this article for more details.]
• If you have access to a developer or some coding knowledge, you can build a custom interface using something like React or Next.js and connect it to Airtable via the API.
