Hi,
When trying to call the Airtable API using python in either vs code or straight from my browser using google colab, I get stuck on the user auth challenge page.
I use the request library in python to do a simple get request, see my code below. Am I missing something? I can’t write JS which is why I chose to use python instead, my goal is simply to download the table content to then upload it in another tool to have a proper BI dashboard.
I also tried using Postman and got the same 403 result.
import requests
import pandas as pd
AIRTABLE_BASE_ID = "appxxxxx..."
AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID = "tblxxxxx..."
AIRTABLE_VIEW_ID = "viwxxxxx..."
AIRTABLE_API_KEY = "keyxxxxx..."
endpoint = f"https://airtable.com/{AIRTABLE_BASE_ID}/{AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID}"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + AIRTABLE_API_KEY}
r = requests.get(endpoint, headers=headers)
Response code: 403
