You’re not using the right syntax for any of those lines.

Go to https://www.airtable.com/api and it will give you the appropriate syntax to use for each one of your bases and for each function you want to perform.

I developed it based on the API

Can you tell me what’s wrong

On first glance, it looks a bit odd until you realize this is Python.

Hi @wenju_fan, and welcome to the community!

I believe this is Python because the json.dumps() method caught my eye and this only exists in Python. Can you confirm this is Python?

I believe the issue is in the header - change it to this:

'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + cAirtableAPIKey,

Yeah,this is python
as you said,I tried this:

Okay - let’s be sure about your code - can you publish the latest version?

the syntax looks fine. Probably you got the key or the url wrong.

I’m running into the same issue when making any API call in the iOS Shortcuts app on my iPhone, but it works fine with curl and Postman, and even Shortcuts on my Macbook.
endpoint: https://api.airtable.com/v0/appw8uXq7gglhzgE5/Dictionary
header: “Authorization”:“keyxxxxxxxxxxxxx8Ng”,

I’ve double and triple checked and copypasted the url and key between the apps where it works and the ones where it doesn’t, but nothing changes
