I've been working with Airtable APIs lately and got tired of the usual hassle - you know, logging into the API docs, hunting through pages to find your Base ID, copying the wrong string... it's annoying.
Just built this free tool that solves exactly this problem. You literally just paste any Airtable URL and it instantly extracts the Base ID, Table ID, and View ID for you. No sign-up, no BS.
Check it out here: https://shortcuts.sequentialroutine.com/base-id
What I love about it:
- Takes 2 seconds instead of 2 minutes
- Works with any Airtable link
- Everything happens locally in your browser (no data gets sent anywhere)
- One-click copy buttons for each ID
Been using it for our own iOS Shortcuts and API integrations https://shortcuts.sequentialroutine.com . Super handy if you're doing any automation work with Airtable or just need those IDs quickly.
The tool is completely free and works right in your browser. Worth bookmarking if you work with Airtable regularly.
