Airtable script fetch put

[ALA_Staff]

Hello,

Is there such thing as a fetch put? I am needing to do a put on an external api with the airtable scripting app. I was wondering what the best way to do it is? The external api is expecting a put method. I have successful used fetch for get and post but can’t seem to figure out the put. Thanks in advance!

Hi @ALA_Staff, and welcome to the community!

Yes. Something like this…

let putURL = "https://...";

let putOptions = {
    method: "PUT",
    headers: {
        'Accept' : 'application/json',
    },
}
const putResults  = await remoteFetchAsync(putURL, putOptions);
const jsonObject    = await putResults.json();

output.inspect(jsonObject);

Thanks for responding, Bill.

I’ve tried your suggestion. Here is my code.

        let putUrl = "https://...";
        let putOptions = (putBody) => {
            return {
            method: "PUT",
            headers : {
                "accountid":"...",
                "applicationkey": "...",
                "Accept": "application/json"
            },
            body:putBody
            }
        }
        console.log("pre put");
        let putResults = await remoteFetchAsync(putUrl, putOptions(JSON.stringify(prod)));
        let jsonObject = await putResults.json();
        output.inspect(jsonObject);

It runs up until the fetch call. the last thing that prints is “pre put”. I’ve tried this with postman and it works there. Just can’t seem to get it working with the script. Am I missing something? Thanks again

Am I missing something?

Yes. But I do not know what it might be.

There are three scripting environments in Airtable - where [exactly] are you trying to run this script?

[ALA_Staff]

I am using the Scripting App, downloaded from the Airtable apps Marketplace

I’ve tried this with postman and it works there.

I would post the exact postman request header here so we can see the pattern that workers with your api.

[ALA_Staff]

here is the api documentation as well. DEAR Developer Portal · Apiary

From the docs, it says accountid, appkey, and content-type are the only required headers. it’s odd because i have the get and post calls working in the same script

[Bill_French]

ALA_Staff:

content-type are the only required headers

And yet, that is missing from your code - I would try adding that to see what happens.

No luck, i’ve tried that in the past and just now. Still didn’t work. stops at the same spot
