Unable to create table with API - "INVALID_PERMISSIONS_OR_MODEL_NOT_FOUND"

[StevieB]

Hi All,

I'm using Voiceflow, when i try to create a new table in an existing base using the API i get the following error:

{
 "error": {
  "type": "INVALID_PERMISSIONS_OR_MODEL_NOT_FOUND",
  "message": "Invalid permissions, or the requested model was not found. Check that both your user and your token have the required permissions, and that the model names and/or ids are correct."
 },
 "VF_STATUS_CODE": 403

 This is the url endpoint i'm using:

https://api.airtable.com/v0/{baseID}/{table_name}

I have a valid base id and i'm populating the {table_name} variable with the users 'user id' such as 'TYSCH'.

I have all my scopes selected in my access token.

Voiceflow API Settings:

 My JSON body:

{
  "table_name": "{table_name}",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "singleLineText",
      "name": "UserId"
    },
    {
      "type": "singleLineText",
      "name": "TokenUsage"
    },
    {
      "type": "createdTime",
      "name": "Session Date & Time"
    }
  ],
  "views": [
    {
      "name": "Grid view",
      "type": "grid"
    }
  ]
}

Seems to be a permission issue but i've tried everything and it's not working.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Steve

Hmm the endpoint you're hitting and your JSON are incorrect.  Check out the docs: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/create-table

The expected endpoint is: https://api.airtable.com/v0/meta/bases/{baseId}/tables

Creating 'createdTime' fields and views via the API isn't possible at this time either I think

Thanks for the reply @TheTimeSavingCo.

Yes your right about both. i put the endpoint from the docs and I removed the the created time/views but that still didn't work, what did work though was when I changed the 'table_name' to 'name' in line 2.

{
  "name": "{user_id}",
  "fields": [

Now it's working! 😊
