Is there any plan for an API to pull metadata? It’s currently very difficult to infer the schema, you have to resort to hacks like reading all records and then trying to infer types and column names from that. It’d be great if you could pull the schema information for a table more easily!
It’d also be awesome if you’d be able to add and change tables from the API, but that’s less pressing to me :slightly_smiling_face:

This is a real bummer and would be very useful. Its 2020 now and still no response… frustrating

Yep. A half-decade waiting. This is the equivalent of 35 Internet years; roughly half the lifetime of the product.
The request for a simple Split() function is also in the 5yr range. Unbelievable.

100% this… I’m wanting to work on a big integration with Airtable into my existing application, but it’s way too hard without having Schema definitions… its like you said… brittle and unpredictable - if I don’t know what type of field I’m working with, I can’t make a good experience for our users.

This is critical functionality and would make Airtable a much more powerful tool.

+1 for this feature request. It would be hugely beneficial and the community has been asking for it for years.
