I am using GET to retrieve data from a table in a base. Rather than getting all the records, I would like to get the records filtered by a view. My query looks something like this:
https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXXXXXXX.../TheTableIWant?fields%5B%5D=FIELD1&fields%5B%5D=FIELD2_ETC
What would the query look like to get a view?

Hey Leo,
Have you tried adding a query parameter naming the view, like this?
&view=All%20projects%20

Looks like I need the “metadata” API?

The REST API documentation is located at the link below. As @acco mentioned, you need to use the view parameter:

I could not find what I was looking for in the API docs. @acco’s response gave me what I was looking for. Thanks!

It’s in the exact same location where you got your GET statement from, under “List Records”.

I got my GET by stepping through someone else’s Airtable.swift package. Thanks to you and @acco taking the time to explain this I’m understanding how to use the doc’s.
